What are scars?
Scars form when the skin is damaged and heals. They can be flat, sunken, or raised. Scars can vary in color from red or brown to white. Many people look for ways to reduce facial scars, such as acne scars, because these affect skin texture and remain visible.
Causes of Scars
Scars can be caused by various factors. The most common ones are:
- Acne scars: Inflammation and pimples damage the skin, often leaving deep marks.
- Wounds and surgeries: These can cause wide or raised scars that you sometimes wish to have removed or laser-treated.
- Deep skin inflammations: Lead to red or brown scars that are often difficult to fade.
- Genetic predisposition: Some skin types produce scar tissue more readily.
By understanding the cause of your scar, our specialists can optimally tailor the treatment.
Scar treatments and costs
Scars can have various causes and forms: from acne scars to scars that arise from a surgical procedure or due to burns. Depending on the type of scar, Glow Institute uses various advanced treatments to improve skin texture and make scars less visible.
Atrophic scars (pitted, often after acne)
These scars are characterized by small pits or sunken areas in the skin. We have several acne scar treatments specifically for this:
- Microneedling (€145): Stimulates collagen production and makes the skin smoother and more even.
- Polynucleotide Microneedling (€125): Promotes repair and cell renewal, especially for deeper skin damage.
- Exosomes Microneedling (€125): Powerful skin regeneration and faster recovery.
- Morpheus8 (€550): Combines microneedling with radiofrequency for deeper skin renewal for more stubborn scars.
Hypertrophic scars (thickened or raised)
These scars lie on top of the skin and often feel thick or firm. This type of scar is much more difficult to treat.
However, there is a very suitable treatment for hypertrophic scars:
- Morpheus8 (€550): Works deep into the skin layers and can soften scar tissue.
Pigment or color differences around scars
Many scars leave redness or dark spots. Suitable treatments:
- Lumecca IPL (€125): Reduces redness and evens out color differences.
- Chemical peels (including the powerhouse BioRePeel TCA): Address pigment differences and skin renewal simultaneously. Costs for the BioRePeel are €125, the Fire & Ice Peel €125, and the Brightening Peel €159)
- Glowing Skin Treatment (from €499): A course of peels and skin improvement for a more even complexion.
Combination of scar treatment and general skin improvement
Do you want to treat scars and also work on a fresh, healthy appearance? Suitable treatments:
- Signature Glow (€149): Combines cleansing, exfoliation and skin improvement.
- The Ultimate Glow (€329): Intensive all-in-one treatment.
