Cosmetic scar reduction treatments at Arcadia Clinic

We have a full range of non-invasive and completely safe treatments. In the care of our clients, all our treatments are carried out using state-of-the-art Hi-Tech equipment, which is proven to treat small and extensive scars on the patient’s body.

At our aesthetic medicine and cosmetology clinic Arcadia Clinic, we offer several treatments used to reduce scars, which include micro-needle radiofraction (RF micro-needle), GeneO® or LPG endermology.

LPG technology for surgical scars

Many women and men struggle with the remnants of surgery and wounds caused by trauma. Post-traumatic scars are difficult to remove and deep skin stimulation is required to combat them.

LPG endermologie stimulates the tissues by massaging the skin folds with an electric roller. The treatment is non-invasive and leaves no wounds after the procedure. The resulting skin fold is massaged in multiple directions and the negative pressure applied to the skin is individually selected for each patient. The entire procedure is painless and should be repeated regularly for a visible effect.

This treatment is primarily indicated for the treatment of post-traumatic scars. Before each treatment, you should individually consult your doctor, who will tailor the treatment to your needs.

Chemical treatments for scars

Treatments that stimulate the body’s biological mechanisms are an effective way to combat scars. Chemical treatments involve massaging a suitable ampoule of nutrients into the dermis.

The treatment itself involves removing the keratinised epidermis at the site of the scar and massaging a gel enriched with healing substances into the skin surface. During the treatment, the formation of bursting carbon dioxide bubbles is visible on the skin. Oxygen-rich blood flows to the site of the scar, initiating the so-called Bohr effect. The healing process after the procedure is short and requires little restriction from the patient.

This type of procedure is indicated for the treatment of acne and atrophic scars. Atrophic scars are skin defects after diseases such as smallpox or acne and are characterised by small scars of not much depth. Their treatment is much shorter and the results are visible after the first few treatments.

Scar formation and structures

The first and most important thing in understanding scar formation is that all people regardless of whether they have undergone the same operations, suffered the same injuries have different scars. Each person has different and varying predispositions of their skin to regenerate. There are some people who will develop a scar from a minor injury and others who will not have the slightest trace of a scar once they have healed.

Atrophic scars, or acne scars, are caused by the breakdown of collagen fibres, meaning that there is simply a lack of tissue at the site of injury. Post-traumatic sc ars are formed after the scab has fallen off and involve covering the skin defect with fibrous connective tissue covered by epithelium. After a period of six months, the scar is comparable to a stretch mark. The scars become thickened and may be accompanied by pain and itching.

Types of scars

We can divide the types of scars by cause of formation and structure, which we can ultimately equate to:

simple scars

their healing is short, they are formed after a minor skin trauma, in the form of light-coloured scars. Treatment of the scars in this case is not necessary, because after a period of convalescence, these wounds become soft and bright. These scars disappear completely or are only slightly visible after a certain period.

hypertrophic scars

arise from improper wound healing, lack of skin care. Hypertrophic scars can result from multiple ruptures of the wound stupa or multiple injuries to the same area on the skin.

atrophic scars

an adolescent disease such as acne or smallpox can leave scars for life, which is what acne scars are. Small injuries to the skin, they usually take the shape of round depressions where collagen is not produced. With proper skin care during the course of acne, further treatment of these can be avoided.

surgical scars

they result from scalpel cuts after surgical procedures performed on our skin. They take the shape of longitudinal furrows or skin folds. The most common skin folds include incisions after hernia repair, prosthesis insertion or caesarean section. As these incisions are immediately sutured, they are among the least visible of all the scars listed above.

Burn scars

The scar resulting from a burn is considered to be the least aesthetic. There are special preparations to be used moments after a burn to avoid its unpleasant consequences.
In addition to the thickened skin itself, the burn scar is also accompanied by skin discolouration. A burn is caused by touching a heated object with bare skin or spilling a hot liquid on oneself.
