Scarring
Refine Texture & Restore Skin Quality
Scarring can occur when the skin’s natural healing process is disrupted following acne, injury, inflammation or other skin trauma. This can result in visible changes to skin texture, tone and overall skin quality.
Scars may appear as indentations, raised areas or uneven pigmentation and can vary in severity depending on how the skin has healed.
At Bonny Skin, we provide professional scarring treatment in Geelong through detailed skin assessment and personalised treatment planning, designed to support skin repair, improve texture and restore overall skin quality.
Understanding Skin Scarring
Scarring develops when the deeper layers of the skin are affected and collagen is produced unevenly during the healing process.
Depending on the type of damage and individual healing response, scars may appear:
- Indented or pitted
- Raised or thickened
- Discoloured or uneven in tone
- Texturally irregular
The type and depth of scarring play an important role in determining the most effective treatment approach.
What Causes Scarring?
Scarring is influenced by both the initial skin trauma and how the skin heals.
Common contributing factors include:
- Inflammatory acne damaging deeper skin layers
- Picking or squeezing blemishes
- Injury, surgery or skin trauma
- Genetic predisposition to scarring
- Delayed or inadequate treatment
- Sun exposure affecting pigmentation and healing
At Bonny Skin, we assess these factors to guide a safe and effective treatment plan.
Types of Scarring We Treat
Understanding the type of scarring allows for a more targeted approach to treatment.
Atrophic Scars
Indented or pitted scars caused by a loss of tissue, commonly associated with acne.
Hypertrophic Scars
Raised scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound.
Keloid Scars
Raised scars that extend beyond the original wound area and may continue to grow over time.
Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation
Discolouration that remains after inflammation or acne has healed.
Stretch Marks
A form of internal scarring caused by rapid stretching of the skin.
Why Seek Professional Treatment for Scarring?
Scarring can be difficult to improve without a structured and consistent approach. Incorrect treatment may not address the underlying issue or may lead to further skin disruption.
A professional skin assessment allows us to:
- Identify the type and depth of scarring
- Assess overall skin condition
- Determine appropriate treatment options
- Develop a personalised treatment plan
- Support long-term skin repair and improvement
