Volumisers For Scars
Volumisers are well known for their ability to add volume and youthful plumpness to our skin, but they are also an invaluable tool in improving the appearance of scars.
Volumisers can be an effective way of dealing with many indented scars, including:
- Acne scars
- Chicken pox scars
- Scars from injuries
About Volumisers
Volumisers are an aesthetic treatment whereby a gel is injected into the skin in order to add volume.
We use hyaluronic acid based dermal volumisers. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance which hydrates the skin and supports the production of collagen.
How Volumisers Improve Scars
Hydration
The hyaluronic acid content in dermal volumisers also has a hydrating effect, which helps to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin.
Volumising Effect
While dermal volumisers can’t completely eradicate your scars, they can dramatically improve their appearance, so they become virtually unnoticeable.
The dermal volumiser will be expertly injected into the site of the scar to push up the skin at the base of the scar, thereby making it more flush with the surface of your skin.
Longer Term Improvements
Over the longer term, dermal volumisers can make a permanent improvement to the appearance of scars.
The volumiser injections help to break up scar tissue and the collagen-boosting properties of hyaluronic acid naturally repair the area.
While this will never get rid of the scar entirely, it can mean that over time, less volumiser and fewer frequent treatments are required to maintain the improved appearance.
Areas Which Can Be Treated
Most of the patients who come to us for help with scarring want to primarily improve the appearance of their facial scars.
However, dermal volumisers are appropriate for use on any part of the body, so they can also be helpful in managing the appearance of bodily scarring. For example, chicken pox scars on the chest and décolletage, or acne scarring on the back.
Immediate Results
One of the great things about dermal volumisers is that you’ll see the results immediately after your treatment. And, aside from occasional, short-term redness or swelling at the point of injection, you’ll be able to go about your day as normal straight afterwards.
How long the effects will last depends on the type and location of scar being filled, but you should expect to benefit from the treatment for at least six months.
Other Treatments
Laser treatments and chemical facial peels can both be used in conjunction with dermal volumisers to maximise the improvement to your scarring.
Our expert medical practitioners will be able to recommend the best course of treatment to minimise the appearance of your scars, taking into account your skin type and the nature of the scarring.
