World-Class Scar Treatment in London
Rejuvence Clinic offers one of the most comprehensive scar treatment programmes in the UK. We are not a single-device, laser-only or beauty-led clinic. Instead, we provide a fully medical, evidence-driven service that looks at:
- The type of scar (atrophic, hypertrophic, keloid, pigmented, red)
- The cause (trauma, surgery, acne, ingrown hairs, AKN)
- The skin type, especially where darker skin tones are prone to keloids and pigmentation
- The patient’s goals and lifestyle
Thanks to our wide range of treatments—including advanced lasers, surgery, steroid and 5FU injections, radiofrequency microneedling and ExoSmart™—we can design a personalised, stepwise treatment plan rather than pushing a single solution.
REJUVENCE PHILOSOPHY
Expertise, Precision, and Innovation
At Rejuvence Clinic, our scar philosophy is simple:
No two scars are the same, and no single treatment is enough for everyone.
We build every plan on four key pillars:
- Multidisciplinary Expertise: Your case may be reviewed by a plastic surgeon, aesthetic surgeon, dermatologist and regenerative medicine specialist, all working together to decide what is genuinely best for you.
- Evidence-Based Treatments: We only offer treatments with scientific backing – no untested fads or unregulated procedures.
- Custom Treatment Combinations: We are not restricted by one laser or one technique. Instead, we combine injections, surgery, laser, microneedling and biologics to deliver optimal results.
Safety in All Skin Types
We have extensive experience treating scars in skin of colour, where the risk of scarring and pigmentation is higher and the margin for error is smaller.
Understanding Scars
Types of Scars We Commonly See
Scars form as part of the skin’s healing process. The way they develop is influenced by genetics, depth of injury, inflammation and skin tone.
At Rejuvence Clinic, we commonly treat:
- Normotrophic scars – flat scars that are usually pale and level with the skin
- Atrophic scars – sunken or pitted scars, often from acne, burns or surgery
- Hypertrophic scars – raised scars that stay within the wound boundary
- Keloid scars – thick, expanding scars that spread beyond the original injury
- Pigmented scars – dark or brown marks following inflammation (PIH)
- Red/vascular scars – pink or red scars with a strong blood vessel component

How Scars Develop
Common Causes of Scarring
Scars can arise from many different events. The most frequent causes we see include:
- Traumatic injuries – cuts, burns, road traffic accidents, sports injuries
- Surgery – mole or cyst removal, C-sections, cosmetic surgery, orthopaedic procedures and operations performed abroad
- Acne – deep inflammatory spots that leave pits, depressions or raised scars
- Hair and follicle conditions – ingrown hairs, recurrent folliculitis, Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
- Genetic predisposition – especially for keloids on the ears, jawline, chest, shoulders, back and scalp
Understanding how a scar formed helps us to choose the right combination of medication, laser, surgery and regenerative support.
Conditions We Treat
Acne can leave behind a mixture of pitted, rolling, boxcar, ice-pick and raised scars. At Rejuvence Clinic, we often combine:
- Ablative Er:YAG resurfacing (Aerolase Era)
- Non-ablative laser (Aerolase Neo)
- Sylfirm X radiofrequency microneedling
- Regenerative support with exosomes or polynucleotides
This multi-layered approach helps improve texture, smooth irregularities and restore a more even skin surface.
AKN is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the back of the head and neck, common in men with curly or Afro-textured hair. It can progress from small bumps to thick plaques and keloid-like scarring.
Treatment may include:
- Medical management and dermatological assessment
- Laser to reduce inflammation and hair contribution
- Steroid and 5FU injections into raised areas
- Surgical debulking or excision in advanced cases
Regenerative therapies to support better healing and reduce recurrence
We are one of Europe’s leading clinics for keloid scars, treating:
- Ear keloids (post-piercing, cartilage keloids)
- Jawline and beard-area keloids
- Chest, shoulder and back keloids
- Scalp and nape keloids from ingrown hairs or AKN
- Pubic and bikini-area keloids after ingrown hairs or surgery
Our keloid protocols often combine injections, laser, surgery and ExoSmart™ to flatten the scar, reduce symptoms and lower the risk of recurrence.
We treat scars after:
- Mole and cyst removals
- Caesarean sections
- Breast and abdominal surgery
- Orthopaedic or trauma surgery
- Cosmetic surgery abroad
Post-operative scars can be wide, raised, dark, red or tethered. We use a combination of surgical revision, laser blending, vascular and pigment control, and regenerative medicine to refine the scar and improve overall cosmetic outcome.
Treatment Options At Rejuvence Clinic
The Most Advanced Combination of Scar Treatments in London
Below is an expanded overview of the key treatments we offer and how they fit into scar management.
What they are:
Steroid and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) injections are used directly into hypertrophic and keloid scars to soften and flatten raised tissue.
How they help:
- Reduce collagen overproduction in the scar
- Improve itching, tenderness and pain
- Soften thick, firm scar tissue
- Prepare scars for laser or surgical intervention
Ideal for:
- Hypertrophic scars after surgery or trauma
- Keloid scars on ears, chest, shoulders, back, beard area and pubic region
- Early raised scars where we want to prevent further thickening
We often combine these injections with laser and ExoSmart™ for better, longer-lasting results.
What it is:
Surgical scar revision is performed by our plastic surgeon or aesthetic surgeon to improve scars that are wide, irregular, tethered, poorly oriented or keloid-forming.
Examples where revision may be used:
- Old trauma scars that healed poorly
- Wide or stretched surgical scars (e.g. C-section, mole removal)
- Cosmetic surgery scars from procedures done abroad
- Ear and belly-button keloids after piercings
- Tribal marks or cultural scarring that patients wish to soften or remove
Approach at Rejuvence:
- Precise removal or reorientation of scar tissue
- Tension reduction and refined closure techniques
- Follow-up with laser, injections and regenerative support to optimise healing
Surgical revision is rarely a stand-alone solution—our strength lies in combining surgery with advanced lasers and biologics for a holistic result.
What it is:
Aerolase Neo is a non-ablative Nd:YAG laser designed to treat redness, pigment and inflammation with minimal downtime.
Benefits for scars:
- Reduces residual redness in new scars
- Helps with hyperpigmented scars and post-inflammatory marks
- Can gently help regulate keloid activity
- Safe and effective in all skin types, including skin of colour
Uses at Rejuvence:
- Red or inflamed acne scars
- Active or early keloids
- Scars with both vascular and pigment components
Neo is often used together with BBL, Era or ExoSmart™ depending on the scar’s behaviour.
What it is:
Era is an ablative Er:YAG laser used for controlled resurfacing of the skin.
How it help scars:
- Smooths rough or uneven scar surfaces
- Reduces depth of atrophic acne or surgical scars
- Softens edges between scar and normal skin
- Stimulates new collagen to remodel the scar structure
Ideal for:
- Atrophic acne scarring
- Surgical scars needing texture refinement
- Selected hypertrophic scars once they have been softened and stabilised
Era is a powerful tool when used at the right stage, typically as part of a structured treatment sequence.
What it is:
BBL Heroic is a broadband light system particularly effective for treating redness and pigmentation.
Benefits for scars:
- Reduces persistent redness in fresh or vascular scars
- Helps improve red hypertrophic scars, especially in lighter skin types
- Can target post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and sun-related pigment flare
How we use it:
- To refine vascular scars after surgery or trauma
- In combination with Aerolase Neo to treat both superficial and deeper vascular components
- As part of a staged improvement plan for facial and body scars
What it is:
Sylfirm X is a highly advanced RF microneedling system designed to treat scars, texture and pigmentation using precise radiofrequency delivered via fine needles.
Benefits for scars:
- Improves atrophic acne scarring
- Helps early hypertrophic scars and texture irregularities
- Reduces pigment and post-inflammatory changes in certain skin types
- Safe across a wide range of skin tones due to its unique pulsed RF mode
Why we prefer it:
Compared with older RF devices, Sylfirm X offers better control and safety, particularly in skin of colour, making it well suited to our patient base.
What it is:
Rejuvence Clinic is the first clinic in the UK to offer ExoSmart™, an autologous exosome system that isolates regenerative vesicles from a patient’s own blood.
How ExoSmart™ helps scars:
- Modulates inflammation within the scar
- Supports more organised collagen remodelling
- Enhances healing after laser, microneedling or surgery
- Can help reduce the risk of poor-quality scar formation
We also use:
- Off-the-shelf exosomes for additional regenerative support
- Polynucleotides to improve tissue quality and hydration
These regenerative options are often layered on top of laser, microneedling or surgery to accelerate and enhance results.
Meet Our Scar Specialists
Our scar service is led by Dr Sam Ghani, an aesthetic and regenerative medicine surgeon with a special interest in complex scarring and keloid management, particularly in skin of colour. He is known for combining surgery, advanced laser protocols and biologic therapies such as exosomes to push scar outcomes beyond what is typically expected.
Working alongside him is Dr Naeem Mitha, a consultant dermatologist with expertise in inflammatory skin disease, pigmentation and laser dermatology. He oversees medical diagnosis, treatment planning and long-term scar health.
Together, they lead a highly experienced team of nurses, tissue-viability practitioners and laser technicians dedicated solely to achieving better scars.
Your Initial Consultation
A proper scar consultation cannot be rushed or improvised. At Rejuvence Clinic, your consultation includes:
- A full medical and scar history
- Detailed examination of the scar and surrounding skin
- Assessment of your skin type and risk factors
- Discussion of all appropriate treatment options and combinations
- A realistic timeline and expectation of improvement
We charge a consultation fee because this is a medical assessment, not a sales pitch. Free consultations are often used by non-medical or single-modality clinics to sell the only treatment they have—usually a laser.
We also regularly review:
- Scars treated unsuccessfully elsewhere
- Scars after cosmetic surgery abroad
- Complicated keloids that have resisted simple treatments

There is no single “best” treatment. The ideal approach depends on the type of scar, the cause, how old it is and your skin type. At Rejuvence Clinic, we combine options such as injections, laser, microneedling, surgery and regenerative therapies to create a plan that offers the best long-term improvement for your specific case.
Yes. We have extensive experience managing scars in skin of colour, including hypertrophic and keloid scars and pigment issues. Our choice of laser, settings and treatment combinations are tailored specifically to reduce risk and improve safety for darker skin tones.
Keloids have a known tendency to recur, especially if treated with only one method. Our approach is to combine steroid and 5FU injections, surgery when appropriate, laser and regenerative support, which significantly reduces recurrence rates compared to single-modality treatments.
Yes. We often see patients with scars following cosmetic surgery carried out overseas. We can assess the scar, explain what is realistic and use combinations of surgical revision, laser, injections and regenerative medicine to improve both appearance and texture.
