Self Harm Scar Treatments
It is not uncommon for adolescents and young adults to have cutting or self-harm scars, with a prevalence of over 10%. Fortunately, lasers can be used to minimise the appearance of these scars and help them blend in with the surrounding skin. Lasers are effective in targeting the colour, particularly red, and can also assist in blending the scars into the surrounding area.
Expert Assessment Matters
At Scars & Lasers, we recognise that self-harm scars can carry deep emotional significance and may continue to impact your confidence long after the wounds have healed.

Each treatment plan is personalised to your needs, helping you move forward with greater confidence in your skin and yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
The primary goal of scar treatment is to enhance both the colour and contour of the scar, as the ultimate outcome is a less noticeable scar.

When it comes to self-harm scars, such as cutting scars, an additional objective is to eliminate the parallel patterns of cuts and scars that contribute to the perception of these types of scars.
