Scars can be difficult to live with, but they do not have to define how you feel about your skin. With the right expertise, meaningful improvement is almost always possible.
Our scar treatments in Glasgow are carefully tailored to your scar, your skin, and your goals, using advanced technology and expert clinical judgement to achieve natural, realistic results.
Scar treatments are designed to improve the colour, texture, thickness, and overall visibility of scars affecting the face or body. At McKeown Medical, we use advanced laser systems, injectables, and surgical techniques to remodel scar tissue and encourage healthier skin regeneration. Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to your scar type, skin tone, and goals, ensuring results that look natural rather than over-treated.
Choosing the right scar treatments starts with understanding both your scar and your expectations. During consultation, we assess scar maturity, depth, colour, location, and previous treatments. This allows us to recommend scar treatments that are safe, realistic, and appropriate for long-term improvement.
Scar treatments differ from general skin rejuvenation. While resurfacing treatments improve overall skin quality, scar treatments are more targeted, focusing on collagen remodelling and structural correction rather than surface refinement alone.
Often, the best treatment plan for each patient will involve multiple different treatment options, usually performed over a period of time, with each stage achieving incremental improvements.
For example, if a scar is red or pink in appearance, we will often start the treatment plan by using a vascular laser to reduce the redness. If the scar is raised, then it may require a fractional ablative laser to help reduce the tissue and make it flatter. If a scar is white or stretched, then again it may require the use of a fractional ablative laser to encourage the formation of more normal-looking tissue. If the scar is indented, then it may require some filler injections to make the contour of the tissues flatter. Most scars have more than one of these characteristics; for example, it may be red and raised, which is why they normally require combination treatments, and usually multiple sessions are required. Occasionally, the best option for a scar is to simply cut it out and start again, as in a surgical scar revision followed up by a course of laser to optimise wound healing.
Your Scar treatment plan will be tailored to your individual needs and the results you are looking to achieve.
Finding the right treatment for you is the most important factor in ensuring that you are on the correct path to achieve the results you desire. Our pre-consultation form helps us to identify your needs and ultimately gets you on the right path to achieving your optimal results.

From the moment I walked through the door I was treated so well by every member of staff, all so friendly and helpful. I received Halo and BBL I was a little nervous but Dr Rhona completely put my mind at rest.
After my treatments I was taken good care of and Dr Darren came and reassured me too which was an added bonus. I returned a few weeks later for my checkup and again was treated so well, Dr Darren remembered me which was lovely.
I am delighted with the results of my treatment I feel my skin looks so much fresher and this in turn has lifted my self esteem which had previously been at a low point. I highly recommend both these treatments and would not hesitate to return to Dr Darren’s Clinic in the future. Thank you to all again.

From my very first contact with yourselves to the minute I left the attention to detail and client service was impeccable, every member of staff I came into contact with was so friendly and professional put me at ease so much.

My consultation answered all concerns Dr Rhona explained what would give me best results as to what I was looking to achieve . As I was travelling from a far your team kindly got my booked in same day for my treatment so I didn’t have to make another journey. Upon my procedure which again every step of the way was explained my therapist was so attentive talked me through everything step as she was carrying out my treatment and explained all my after care.

Your consultation focuses on understanding your scar history, healing patterns, and goals, alongside a detailed assessment of the scar itself.
A bespoke scar treatment plan is created, often combining several techniques delivered over a structured time.
You will receive clear guidance on skincare, sun protection, and preparation. Anaesthetic options are discussed to ensure comfort.
Scar treatments are carried out with precision and care, targeting the underlying cause of the scar while prioritising patient comfort.
Aftercare advice supports optimal healing. Follow-up appointments allow progress to be assessed and treatments refined if required.
You will receive personalised guidance on skincare, sun avoidance, and preparation to ensure safe and effective treatment.
Most patients experience mild warmth or pressure. Numbing cream or local anaesthetic keeps treatments comfortable.
Temporary redness or swelling is common. Improvements develop gradually over weeks to months as collagen remodels.
Most scar revision procedures are performed either with the use of numbing cream or local anaesthetic to reduce the discomfort of treatment.
The downtime will vary depending on the type of treatment you had. If you have an ablative treatment, then you can expect the treatment area to look red and slightly swollen for 5-7 days. If you’ve had a surgical scar revision, then you will likely have stitches that need to be removed in 5-7 days. If you have had a non-ablative treatment (for example, for redness) or a filler injection for an indented scar, then you will typically be able to get back to normal activities immediately after treatment.
Results from scar treatment take time. Typically, multiple sessions of treatment are required, usually every month for 3 – 6 months. The best result will usually be visible around 3 – 6 months after your final treatment session.
Scar treatments can be adapted for most skin types following careful assessment and planning.
Scars cannot be fully removed, but scar treatments can significantly improve their appearance.
Discomfort is usually minimal and well controlled with appropriate anaesthetic options.
Yes. Scar treatments may include injectables or surgical scar revision where appropriate.
With expert assessment, correct treatment selection, and proper aftercare, pigmentation risks are minimised.
