How to Get Rid of Self Harm Scars

Posted on 29 Apr, 2020

Self Harm Scars

Often resulting from a traumatic time, self-harm scars are a physical manifestation of a difficult time for many people where they needed an outlet to deal with and overwhelming situation, negative feelings, or painful memories. However, the main issue with self-harm scars is that they remain long after their underlying cause has been addressed and appropriately dealt with.

What this means for many people is that they are left living with a reminder of a dark time in their life, which can, of course, not only hinder their recovery but also have an effect on their self-esteem as they are left answering unwelcome questions about the cause of the marks.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. Scar treatments have come a long way in recent years, allowing clinics like ours to treat self-harm scars in the same way that we would treat any other type of scarring. Having successfully treated thousands of patients in the decades we have been operating, we know the optimum combination of treatments to deliver you the best possible results.

No matter how tempting it may be to go down the route of home treatments or using over-the-counter products, it is these decades of expertise that allow clinics to deliver great improvements in the look of self-harm scars, and these cannot be matched by any products you can apply yourself at home.
