Indications
Scars formed after surgical procedures or injuries that are wide, hard or cause discomfort require treatment. Therapies may include steroid injections, laser therapy or surgical correction. The goal is to reduce the visibility of the scar and improve the aesthetics and functionality of the skin.
Scars that show excessive tissue growth (keloids or hypertrophic scars) are an indication for therapies that reduce their volume and visibility. Treatment includes corticosteroid injections, laser therapy or the use of compression dressings. In some cases surgical removal of the lesions with additional prevention of recurrences is necessary.
Atrophic scars, such as those after acne or chickenpox, are characterised by depressions in the skin. Treatment with microneedling, fractional laser or chemical peels stimulates collagen production and evens out the skin surface. The effect is a smoother, more uniform skin structure.

Rodzaje blizn
Scars can take various forms depending on the mechanism of their formation. Hypertrophic scars result from an overproduction of collagen and often protrude above the skin surface, while atrophic scars, such as those after acne or chickenpox, are characterised by depressions. Keloids are a more advanced form of hypertrophic scar and can grow beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Each type of scar requires an individual approach to therapy.
Metody leczenia blizn
The treatment of scars includes a variety of methods adapted to their type and depth. For fresh scars, silicone ointments are used, which support the healing process and prevent hypertrophy. For more advanced lesions, laser treatments, chemical peels, dermabrasion or microneedling therapy are recommended, which stimulate skin regeneration and reduce the visibility of scars. In more difficult cases, such as keloids, steroid injections, cryotherapy or modern biological therapies are used.
Post-procedure care
Appropriate care of skin with scars supports the regeneration process and minimises the risk of new lesions forming. It is crucial to use sunscreens, because UV exposure can cause discolouration of scars. In daily care it is worth using creams containing ingredients that support regeneration, such as allantoin, vitamin E or onion extract. Regular visits to the dermatologist help monitor the progress of the therapy and, if necessary, modify the treatment plan to achieve the best possible aesthetic results.
Frequently asked questions
Which scars can be treated at Luna Clinic?
We treat post-operative, post-traumatic, post-acne, hypertrophic scars and keloids. We match the method to the type, age and location of the scar - from conservative therapies to surgical correction.
When is the best time to start scar treatment?
Early action gives the best results - as soon as the wound has fully healed, usually after 3-6 weeks. Mature, long-standing scars can also be effectively corrected, although the therapy then takes longer.
Jakie metody redukcji blizn stosujecie?
Depending on the scar, we use laser therapy, steroid injections (for hypertrophic scars and keloids), microneedling, silicone preparations and surgical scar correction performed by a plastic surgeon.
Can a scar be removed completely?
No method removes a scar without a trace - the goal of treatment is to reduce its visibility as much as possible: levelling it, softening and lightening it so that it no longer draws attention.
How many treatments are needed to reduce the visibility of a scar?
Usually a series of 3-6 treatments at intervals of a few weeks, depending on the method and the nature of the scar. We establish the therapy plan and the approximate number of sessions at the first consultation.
Czy leczenie blizn boli?
We perform the treatments under local anaesthesia, so discomfort is minimal. After the treatment, temporary redness or a burning sensation in the treated area may persist.
How does a hypertrophic scar differ from a keloid?
A hypertrophic scar is raised but does not exceed the boundaries of the original wound and often flattens on its own. A keloid grows beyond the area of the injury and tends to recur - it requires a different treatment regimen.
Can old scars also be treated?
Yes. Mature scars respond well to fractional laser therapy, microneedling or surgical correction. Improvement is possible even many years after an injury or operation.
How to care for a scar after the procedure?
Sun protection SPF 50, moisturising, the use of recommended silicone preparations and avoiding mechanical irritation are crucial. You will receive detailed recommendations after each treatment.
Are scar treatments safe for every skin type?
Yes - we match the laser parameters and methods to the skin phototype and sensitivity. In people with darker complexions we use more cautious protocols to avoid discolouration.
Ile kosztuje leczenie blizn we Wrocławiu?
The cost depends on the size of the scar and the chosen method - from single laser treatments to surgical correction. We present a precise quote after a consultation; you will find indicative prices in the Luna Clinic price list.
When are the effects of scar treatment visible?
The first changes are noticeable 4-6 weeks after the treatment, when the skin remodels collagen. The full effect of the series of treatments is assessed 3-6 months after the end of therapy.
Contraindications
A consultation has no significant contraindications. Any limitations concern selected treatment methods (e.g. laser vs. a tan, isotretinoin vs. pregnancy) - we will discuss them once a diagnosis is established.
How to prepare?
It is worth bringing to the visit:
- a list of medications and supplements taken
- existing documentation and test results
- a list of questions - nothing should slip your mind
- for skin lesions: do not cover them with make-up or irritate them before the visit
How does the procedure go?
We plan the treatment after a thorough skin assessment (with dermatoscopy if needed).
Recovery and recommendations
Diagnostic visits require no recovery. For treatments (e.g. laser) you will receive brief recommendations: sun protection, gentle care and avoiding high temperatures for a few days.
Effects - when and for how long?
Effect: depends on the condition and the therapy plan.

What does scar treatment involve?
Scars is a procedure in the field of dermatology. At Luna Clinic, every treatment plan is created individually - we start with a thorough consultation and qualification, during which the doctor discusses expectations, assesses the starting situation and selects the scope and technique of the procedure. Thanks to this, scar treatment is safe, predictable and tailored to the anatomy and real needs of the specific person. We focus on a natural rather than artificial effect - so that the result emphasises individual beauty and remains in harmony with the rest of the figure or facial features. You will find a full, detailed description of the method in the upper part of this page.
scar treatment - who is it for? Indications and qualification
The best way to answer whether scar treatment is advisable in your case is during a consultation. The doctor always decides on qualification after an examination - we take into account the state of health, expectations and the real possibilities of the given method. If the procedure is not needed or safe at the moment, we will say so directly and suggest a sensible alternative. Such an honest conversation is the basis of a good decision and satisfaction with the result - which is why we never persuade anyone into unnecessary procedures.
How does the procedure go?
The course is planned to take maximum care of your comfort and safety. We work in comfortable conditions that meet all standards, and an experienced team oversees the process. All recommendations - preparation, contraindications and post-procedure conduct - are discussed individually and also provided in writing, so that scar treatment proceeds calmly, predictably and without surprises.
Effects and durability - scar treatment before and after
The effects that scar treatment provides are always assessed individually. A natural, harmonious refreshment of appearance or an improvement of proportions is the goal we strive for with every patient. “Before and after” transformations are best viewed in our results gallery - they show the real outcomes of our work. Remember that the durability and quality of the effect are also influenced by lifestyle, care and consistent adherence to post-procedure recommendations.
Recovery and post-procedure recommendations
Recovery goes most smoothly when you follow the recommendations closely. After the procedure you remain under the clinic’s care - in the first days, contact with a doctor is available, and we schedule follow-up visits until full healing and assessment of the effect. You receive clear instructions on care, activity and any supporting products in writing, so you know exactly what to expect at each stage of returning to form.
Safety, experience and trust
Safety is an absolute priority for us. Scars is performed by Katarzyna Cygan, MD, PhD - a dermatologist and venereologist, with care for safety and an individual approach to the patient. Careful qualification, work in appropriate conditions and the team’s experience allow us to minimise risk and achieve repeatable, aesthetic results. In the field of dermatology, not only technique matters, but also aesthetic sense and trust between patient and doctor - and that is exactly what we build Luna Clinic on every day.
Why Luna Clinic?
Luna Clinic is an intimate, boutique clinic where not only the result matters, but also comfort, discretion and a sense of safety. We carry out scar treatment with attention to every detail - from the first conversation, through the procedure itself, to post-procedure care. Patients choose us for the experience of our specialists, the individual approach and the natural, harmonious results. It matters to us that every person feels heard and well informed, which is why we present the real possibilities and limitations of the given method and choose the best solution together.
How to prepare for the procedure?
Good preparation translates directly into the course and the effect. Before scar treatment we conduct a qualification consultation, order tests if necessary and discuss the recommendations in detail - including which agents, stimulants or activities to avoid in the days preceding the procedure. You receive all the guidance clearly and in writing, and our team remains available should any additional questions arise. We always tailor the preparation plan individually, because every situation and every patient is different.
