Scar Reduction
in Toronto
Scars—whether the result of past acne breakouts, scrapes and scratches, or surgery—are reminders of past trauma that can affect the way we feel about our skin’s appearance. Scar reduction treatments with our Venus Versa™ technology or with SkinPen microneedling can effectively treat scars of all shapes, sizes, and colours.
There are a number of non-surgical technologies that can be employed to minimize the appearance of scars. In some cases, we will use microneedling treatments, creating tiny wounds that the body then works to heal naturally. This process stimulates collagen production to repair signs of damage, including scarring, on the surface of the skin. Additionally, laser light treatments can help reduce the redness or pigment of scars, helping them to appear more faded.

Cumulative and permanent results — the results of scar reduction will continue to improve with every subsequent treatment.
The level of scar reduction will be dependent on the type of scarring, and the area being treated, but the effects achieved are permanent.
Scar reduction treatments in Toronto typically last no more than 30 minutes, depending on the area being treated. During your treatment, you will feel tiny pins on your skin followed by a little zap and a warm sensation. Treatments may be slightly uncomfortable but not painful.
Very little downtime is associated with scar reduction, and you can return to most day-to-day activities immediately. The treated area will be red and warm, similar to a sunburn, subsiding within 24 hours. Keep the area clean and protected from the sun for 24 hours. We recommend applying sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher.
Caring for your skin at home is key to achieving the best possible scar reduction results. In addition to the use of a topical anti-scar gel, we recommend incorporating complementary skincare products. We recommend waiting 24 hours after your in-office treatment before applying any products.
