In some cases, scars can cause pain, itching or restricted movement. If they are located in visible areas of the body, such as the face, scars can also cause psychological distress. Fortunately, there are many ways to treat scars today. Whether it is scar injections, microneedling, laser therapy or surgery – there is a solution for every scar! If you are looking for a specialist near you, AIVA in Berlin offers a wide range of scar removal and treatment options to help you feel good about your body again.
AIVA - Where medicine meets beauty
Every scar is different because, in addition to the original injury, many other factors influence the appearance of a scar, such as its location, the skin type or wound healing disorders. Scars can be classified into several types: There are atrophic scars, which are sunken into the skin. These can be pimple or acne scars, tattoo scars or incised scars. Another type of scars are hypertrophic scars, which are bulging, reddish scars that protrude from the surrounding skin, and keloid scars, which are benign scar growths. Then there are pigmented scars, which appear as dark or discoloured patches on the skin. Some chickenpox scars fall into this category.
Depending on the type and extent of the scar, scar treatment at AIVA in Berlin can significantly reduce its visibility. Please note that a complete removal of a scar is usually not possible. However, with our treatment methods we can significantly improve its appearance. As we always tailor the procedure to the characteristics of the scar and your individual needs, we will have a detailed consultation with you before the treatment. We will inform you about the various scar removal and treatment options available at our Berlin clinic.
The best time for treatment depends on the individual situation. However, the healing process of the injured area of skin must be complete before treatment can begin. In most cases, this takes between six months and a year.
In principle, scar correction is suitable for anyone who feels self-conscious or experiences physical discomfort because of a scar. In some cases, however, treatment is not advisable, for example during pregnancy and breastfeeding, or in the case of open, infected or inflamed wounds. In a detailed consultation at our Berlin institute, we will discuss with you whether scar removal or treatment is appropriate in your case and which method is most suitable for you.
At AIVA in Berlin, we usually only use general anaesthesia for major surgical procedures. For scar removal and treatments without surgery, a local anaesthetic is generally sufficient.
A variety of lasers are used for scar removal and treatment at AIVA in Berlin: diode lasers, KTP lasers, CO2 lasers, Nd:YAG lasers and ruby lasers. The device we use to laser a particular scar depends on the individual findings.
The cost of scar removal and treatment starts at €200. The price varies depending on the findings and the type of procedure. We will discuss the final price with you in a personal consultation.
