Scar Retexturing or “Collagen Induction Therapy” causes the scars to “re-heal,” changing the appearance of so it blends nicely with the surrounding skin and softened. This procedure reduces the scars’ appearance, colour, tissue thickness and consistency. When a particularly large scar is worked on, multiple sessions will be required and the scar may appear pink for a few weeks as it is “re-healing” in it’s revised state. This can be a finishing touch to surgery, creating more flexibility, reducing tightness and changing the colour.
