Cause & area
Describe whether the scar followed a cut, abrasion, impact, bite, burn or another injury, and where it is located.
Lines & Scars
Injury Scars
Injury scars should be reviewed in the context of the original wound and healing history rather than by appearance alone.
Assessment notes
Useful details to bring.
- cause and date of injury
- body area and wound depth if known
- suturing or other closure and healing problems
- depressed, raised or colour change
- previous care for an older scar
Burn scars that feel tight or affect movement need clinical review of contracture and function. This page does not confirm clinic treatment scope.
A considered plan
Comfort, recovery & follow-up.
Your history and priorities come before choosing a procedure.
Comfort & suitability
Share medicines, allergies, previous reactions and healing problems. Ask which pain-management options, if any, are appropriate for the proposed procedure. Sensation varies with the procedure, area and individual.
Recovery & risks
Ask about procedure-specific redness, swelling, pigment changes, infection risk and aftercare. Recovery and risks vary. Discuss travel, events and how to contact the treating team if a concern develops.
Progress & follow-up
Improvement varies and complete scar removal cannot be promised. The number and timing of visits should be individualized, not assumed to follow an annual treatment schedule.
Secondary scar guide
Other scar patterns to mention.
Classification, urgency and clinic scope require clinical review.
Raised Scars & Keloids
A hypertrophic scar remains within the boundary of the original wound, while a keloid grows beyond it. Assessment should confirm the distinction. Goals may include reducing symptoms, height or visibility; recurrence can occur, and clinic treatment scope remains pending review.
Burn Scars
Burn scars can be flat, raised or tight. Suspected contracture, restricted movement or functional concerns require clinical review; this site does not imply that the clinic manages every burn scar.
Chickenpox Scars
Chickenpox can leave depressed scars. Assessment should consider depth, distribution, skin tone and other causes of textural change before options are discussed.
