Scars & Lasers

Steroids, Anti-Metabolites, Sonophoresis & Advanced Laser Combination Therapy

At Scars & Lasers, we specialise in the advanced management of complex scars and inflammatory skin conditions using a multimodal, evidence-based approach. Many conditions—such as keloid and hypertrophic scars, deep cystic acne, and persistently inflamed skin—are driven by abnormal wound-healing responses, excess collagen production, vascular activity, and chronic inflammation. By combining targeted medical therapies (including steroids and anti-metabolites) with state-of-the-art laser and energy-based technologies—such as vascular lasers, fractionated lasers, and ultrasound-assisted drug delivery (sonophoresis)—we are able to address both the biological cause and the visible appearance of these conditions. Treatment plans are individualised, medically supervised, and designed to optimise long-term control, function, and skin quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

Steroids and anti-metabolites are used to treat inflammatory, fibrotic, and proliferative skin conditions, particularly where excessive collagen production or inflammation is driving the disease process. Common indications include:

  • Keloid scars
  • Hypertrophic scars
  • Symptomatic or rapidly evolving scars
  • Active deep cystic acne
  • Inflammatory nodules resistant to standard therapy
  • Scar-associated redness and vascularity

These treatments are often used in combination with laser and energy-based devices to improve outcomes.
