Frequently Asked Questions

Our dermatologists take a comprehensive approach to scar revision by carefully considering the depth and type of scars on a patient's skin. We conduct a thorough examination of the skin and palpate the skin to identify any issues related to laxity and turgor. In some cases, we may ask patients to animate their facial expressions to locate any tethers and attachments.

Based on this detailed examination, we formulate a customised treatment plan that takes into account each patient's unique needs and circumstances. We understand that no two patients are alike, and therefore, no two treatments should be the same. This personalized and meticulous approach sets us apart from other clinics and enables us to achieve optimal results for our patients.
