It is with great pleasure that we introduce you to
The London Scar Clinic has assembled a dedicated expert group of Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists and Allied Healthcare Professionals to offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to the effective assessment, prevention and treatment of scars.
Some scars settle down over time to be virtually unnoticeable, but some scars remain troublesome and noticeable. Although it may not be possible to fully ‘remove’ scars, we aim to significantly improve scars and make them less visible and problematic. Our team understands that a scar can have a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life no matter its size, appearance or location.
There are different types of scars with different characteristics; scars often demand more than one treatment, from more than one professional in order to maximally improve the look and feel of the scar and reduce its impact on function and wellbeing. Therefore the best scar treatment involves a team approach.

From your initial consultation right through to your treatment and aftercare our team of specialists at The London Scar Clinic are there to support you every step of the way. Invasive treatments are where access to the body/scar is gained via incisions or entering the body using medical instruments. Minimally invasive treatments refer to procedures performed through smaller incisions such as needle punctures; these procedures tend to have a quicker recovery period than invasive treatments.
Non-invasive treatments unlike invasive treatments do not involve the breakage of the skin or the removal of tissues. Non-invasive treatments are considered conservative methods which have much less downtime, if any, associated with the treatment. Non-invasive treatments are a common first step in your scar improvement journey, especially if you are still in the initial stages of scar formation and healing.
