Body scarring covers a wide range of scar types across the back, chest, shoulders, stomach, arms and legs. Back acne scars are among the most common concerns, particularly for clients who experienced severe or cystic breakouts in their teens or twenties.
Body skin is thicker and often more resilient than facial skin, meaning it can tolerate more intensive treatment protocols. However, it can also be more prone to hypertrophic and keloidal scarring in genetically susceptible individuals. A consultation and assessment is always required before treatment.
Body scars form through the same mechanisms as facial scars: insufficient collagen production creates atrophic (depressed) scars while excess collagen creates hypertrophic or keloidal scars. Body skin's greater thickness can actually work in favour of scar revision as it tolerates more intensive laser energy.
Deep inflammatory cystic acne on the back and chest is a primary cause of significant body scarring
Some individuals have a genetic predisposition to keloid or hypertrophic scar formation in response to any wound
Surgical incisions heal with varying degrees of scarring depending on technique, wound care and individual healing
Cuts, burns and abrasions that penetrate into the dermis will heal with some degree of permanent scarring
There is no single solution for every skin. Your Skin Specialist builds a bespoke SDL Pathway using the most effective combination of therapies for your specific presentation.
At Sydney Dermal Lounge, we follow a structured four step process across all in-clinic services. Through our four-phase skin methodology, we aim for our processes to be made inclusive of all kinds of skin concerns and goals. Whether it’s a 12-month melasma pigment program, acne correction pathway, rosacea program, or other pathway to skin rejuvenation, we actively provide this methodology.
*The above is only a general overview of our SDL pathway process. For more information about our specialised 4 phase treatment structure, get in touch with our Sydney Dermal Lounge team.
