Scar Revision Treatment

Infinity Clinic offers surgical and non-surgical scar revision (úprava nevzhledných a bolestivých jizev) for cosmetically problematic or painful scars. Performed within the surgical ambulatory, the treatment targets hypertrophic scars, keloids, retracted surgical scars, and traumatic scars that cause discomfort or aesthetic concern. The approach is tailored to each scar's characteristics — surface irregularity, tension, pigmentation, and pain — with options including surgical re-excision, intralesional injection, and adjunct topical therapy. At 1,000 Kč per session, the clinic provides specialist-level scar management at a fraction of private dermatology or cosmetic clinic pricing in the region.

Scar revision at Infinity Clinic (úprava nevzhledných a bolestivých jizev — correction of cosmetically unsightly and painful scars) is offered as part of the surgical ambulatory service, reflecting the clinic's integrated approach where surgical expertise supports both primary procedures and their sequelae. **Types of scars addressed:** - **Hypertrophic scars:** Raised, red, firm scars that remain within the original wound boundaries. Often develop after deep dermal injuries, burns, or surgical incisions under tension. May cause itching or tightness. - **Keloid scars:** Overgrown fibrous tissue extending beyond the original wound margin. More common in darker skin phototypes and certain anatomical sites (sternum, shoulders, earlobes). Tend to recur if not managed comprehensively. - **Atrophic scars:** Depressed scars from acne, chickenpox, or deep lacerations where tissue volume was lost. - **Contracted or retracted scars:** Scars that restrict movement by pulling adjacent skin, particularly over joints or across natural skin folds. - **Painful scars:** Scars with neuropathic pain components, adhesions to underlying structures, or sensitivity from sensory nerve involvement. **Treatment modalities at the clinic:** 1. **Surgical re-excision:** For wide or distorted scars, the scar tissue is excised and the wound re-closed under reduced tension, ideally aligning with natural skin tension lines. Applicable to mature scars (>12 months old) that have stopped remodelling. 2. **Intralesional corticosteroid injection:** Triamcinolone injected directly into hypertrophic or keloid tissue flattens the scar and reduces itching. Typically a series of injections 4–6 weeks apart. 3. **Adjunct topical therapy:** Silicone gel sheets or topical silicone application after treatment to maintain hydration and reduce recurrence. **Recovery and expectations:** Improvement is progressive — scars rarely resolve completely but can be substantially softened in colour, texture, and symptom burden. Realistic expectations are discussed at consultation. Sun protection of the treated area is essential throughout treatment to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At 1,000 Kč per session, Infinity Clinic provides specialist-guided scar management at an accessible price for self-pay patients, with insurance coverage applying where a medically documented clinical indication exists.
