Scar treatment in Zurich

Scar correction refers to various forms of therapy that aim to remove scars or at least significantly reduce their appearance.

Scars can have very different causes. They can result from accidents, remain after operations, or be the result of Inflammation and Acne. Many women are also bothered by a noticeable C-section scar and would like to have it removed at a later date.

Just as every scar has its own story, their appearance also varies. Some scars protrude significantly above the skin, while others are even or indented below the skin. Accordingly, there is no single method for removing scars.

Using various procedures—invasive, minimally invasive, or non-invasive—we can specifically correct scars of varying severity. For scar treatment in Zurich, we rely on modern technologies such as Laser therapy or medical Needling. However, medication, compression, plasters, or massages can also be used to gently reduce scarring.

The reasons for wanting scar treatment are primarily aesthetic in nature. In addition, the scar itself or the experiences associated with it often cause emotional distress. In some cases, scars can also cause discomfort. In this case, scar treatment in Zurich is also indicated from a medical point of view.

Reasons for scar treatment in Zurich may include:

• Reduction of noticeable scarring
• Refined and more even skin appearance
• Emotional stress caused by the Scars
• Skin irritation, tightness, or pain
• Limited mobility due to the scar
• Restrictions in clothing choices

Please let us know what bothers you about your scar and what results you hope to achieve from Scar treatment. Our specialists will then recommend a suitable procedure for your treatment goal.

Preparation for treatment

Before we plan your scar treatment in Zurich, it is important for Dr. Köhler to find out your reasons for wanting scar correction. He will provide you with expert advice on how the scars can be removed and then plan an individual scar treatment.

Before scar treatment in Zurich, it may be necessary to examine whether the skin changes are actually Scars and not malignant changes.

If the scars are treated with a Laser, you should ensure consistent sun protection before and after the treatment, as Laser therapy increases the skin's sensitivity to light.

Performing scar treatment

The treatment for scars in Zurich may vary slightly depending on the method used.

In the case of laser scar treatment, the treatment head is slowly moved over the scar tissue. Superficial changes are gently removed, while selective laser pulses penetrate the deeper Skin layers and stimulate the regenerative processes there. With repeated application, the skin appears increasingly finer, healthier, and more even.

The procedure for needling to correct scars is similar. Instead of laser pulses, very fine needles penetrate the skin and cause tiny injuries, which stimulate increased collagen formation and tissue regeneration. For optimal results, several sessions are usually necessary.

Non-invasive methods such as compression therapy with a medical corset or treatment with silicone patches usually need to be continued over a period of several months. They can support wound healing in the long term, improve the skin appearance, and reduce the color intensity of the scar.

In rare cases, our specialists recommend surgical scar treatment in Zurich. Under local anesthesia, the scar is either corrected or completely removed from the skin. The surgical wound is then sutured using special techniques to prevent unsightly scarring.

Follow-up treatment

Depending on the type of scar correction performed, the aftercare may vary slightly. In any case, you should take care to look after your skin and scars carefully so that the scar heals optimally and no new scarring occurs. The treated area should be protected from the sun for a prolonged period.

If slight scabbing occurs after scar treatment in Zurich, you should not remove the scabs, as this could lead to new scars forming in the worst case. With careful skin care, the scabs should fall off by themselves within a week. Soothing skin care products can be helpful if slight itching occurs after scar treatment.
