What Is Scars?

Scars form as a natural part of wound healing when the dermis is damaged by injury, surgery, burns or skin conditions. The appearance of a scar depends on wound depth, location, genetics and wound-care quality.

At Med Yu Med Dubai, we assess scar type — atrophic, hypertrophic, keloidal or stretch marks — and apply targeted treatments including fractional laser, microneedling, PRP and corticosteroid injections to improve texture, colour and volume.

Common Causes

• Surgical procedures (post-operative scars, C-section scars)
• Skin conditions — acne, chickenpox, burns
• Traumatic injuries, cuts or abrasions
• Stretch marks (striae) from rapid skin stretching during growth, pregnancy or weight change
• Genetic predisposition to hypertrophic or keloid scar formation

Treatment Options at Med Yu Med

• Fractional CO2 / Fotona laser — resurfaces and remodels atrophic and flat scars
• Microneedling with PRP — stimulates collagen for texture improvement
• Corticosteroid injections — flatten and soften raised hypertrophic or keloid scars
• Radiofrequency microneedling (Morpheus8) — deep remodelling for complex scars
• Stretch mark laser treatment — improves colour and texture of striae
• Filler injections — volumise depressed scars for immediate contour improvement

What Results Can You Expect?

Visible improvement in scar texture and colour typically after 3–5 sessions.

40–70% improvement in atrophic and hypertrophic scars is achievable with combined protocols.

• Flatter, softer scar surface
• More even skin tone over the scarred area
• Improved skin texture and reduced scar visibility
