Scar Treatment
Scars—whether from injury, surgery, burns, or acne—can have a significant impact on both appearance and self-confidence. At Phoenix Plastic Surgery Centre, Bangalore, we offer comprehensive scar treatment options tailored to each individual’s skin type, scar characteristics, and personal goals. Using advanced surgical and non-surgical techniques such as serial excision, subcision, fat grafting, and platelet-rich plasma (PRP), we help improve the appearance, texture, and flexibility of scarred skin.
Understanding Scar Treatment Options
Scar treatment isn’t one-size-fits-all. The approach depends on scar type (hypertrophic, keloid, atrophic, contracture), its location, age, and the functional or cosmetic impact it has. Our experts at Phoenix Plastic Surgery Centre, Bangalore assess your scars carefully and create a personalized treatment plan using one or a combination of techniques:
- Serial Excision: Gradual surgical removal of large or wide scars over multiple stages to minimize tension and improve cosmetic results.
- Subcision: Release of fibrous scar tissue underneath the skin to lift depressed scars.
- Fat Grafting: Injection of purified fat harvested from your own body to improve contour and skin texture.
- PRP Therapy: Injection of platelet-rich plasma derived from your blood to enhance healing and collagen formation.

Techniques Used in Scar Treatment
We employ the following advanced techniques, either individually or in combination:
1. Serial Excision
- Performed under local or general anesthesia
- Scar is removed in stages to allow skin to gradually close the wound with minimal tension
- Ideal for long or wide scars not suitable for single-stage excision
2. Subcision
- Fine needle inserted under the skin to release fibrous bands tethering the scar
- Often used for acne or post-traumatic scars
- Stimulates new collagen and allows elevation of depressed scars
3. Fat Grafting
- Fat is harvested from areas like abdomen or thighs
- Processed and injected into scarred areas
- Improves volume, texture, and overall skin quality
4. PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
- Platelets from your own blood are separated and injected into the scar
- Enhances collagen synthesis and healing
- Often combined with subcision or fat grafting for synergistic effect
Benefits of Scar Treatment
