Scar Removal
A scar is often more than just a mark on the skin. It can be a persistent reminder of a past injury, a necessary surgery, or an unexpected accident. The human body is remarkable at healing itself by producing fibrous tissue to close wounds.
However, the resulting scars can sometimes be raised, discolored, or textured in a way that affects your self-esteem. Whether you are dealing with a thickened keloid, a wide surgical mark, or a contracture from a burn, you don’t have to settle for a permanent reminder.
At CosmeSurge, we offer the most advanced scar removal in Dubai, combining surgical expertise with cutting-edge laser technology.
Our goal is to minimize the visibility of scars, restoring the natural texture and tone of your skin. If you are looking for an effective scar removal treatment in Dubai, our specialist team provides personalized care designed to help you look and feel your best.
Scar removal in Dubai medically referred to as scar revision is a range of procedures aimed at reducing the appearance of a scar so that it blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture.
It is important to note that while no scar can be completely “erased” to the point of disappearing perfectly, modern treatments can make them significantly less noticeable. The type of treatment required depends heavily on the nature of the scar. At CosmeSurge, we treat a wide variety of non-acne related scars, including:
- Surgical scars: These result from incisions made during medical or cosmetic surgeries. While surgeons aim for discreet lines, some patients develop wide or raised marks during healing.
- Keloid scars: These are thick, puckered clusters of scar tissue that grow beyond the edges of the original wound. They are often red or darker than the surrounding skin.
- Hypertrophic scars: Similar to keloids but stay within the boundaries of the original injury. They are raised, red, and can sometimes be itchy or painful.
- Contracture scars: Commonly caused by burns, these scars pull the edges of the skin together, which can restrict movement if they occur over joints or large muscle groups.
- Injury and trauma scars: Resulting from accidents, cuts, or abrasions that healed with irregular textures.
Most individuals who are bothered by the appearance of a scar are potential candidates for scar removal Dubai. However, candidacy is often determined by the stability and age of the scar.
- Scar maturity: Generally, it is best to wait until a scar has “matured” (usually 6 to 12 months) before undergoing revision, as the appearance can change naturally over time.
- General health: You should be in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the degree of improvement.
- Male patients: We offer specialized male scar removal in Dubai, addressing scars resulting from sports injuries, surgeries, or accidents with techniques that respect the thicker skin profile of men.
- Non-smokers: Smoking can impair blood flow and hinder the healing process, particularly in surgical scar revision.
If you are looking for scar removal for men in Dubai or women’s scar revision, a private assessment with our specialists will determine the most effective technology for your specific skin type.
Choosing laser scar removal in Dubai or surgical revision at a premier clinic offers numerous benefits:
- Improved aesthetics: Significantly flattens raised scars and fades dark or red discoloration.
- Restored confidence: Reduces the social anxiety often associated with visible marks on the face or body.
- Functional relief: Releases tension in contracture scars, improving the range of motion in affected areas.
- Smooth texture: Uses advanced resurfacing to make the “rope-like” texture of scars feel soft and natural.
Tailored solutions: From lasers to microneedling, we provide a customized approach for every patient.
At CosmeSurge, we utilize a multi-modal approach. Depending on your scar, your treatment may involve one or a combination of the following advanced technologies:
1. CO₂ laser resurfacing
The CO₂ laser is a gold standard for deep laser scar removal Dubai. It works by delivering short pulses of high-energy light that vaporize the outer layers of the scar tissue. This “controlled injury” stimulates the production of new, healthy collagen, allowing the skin to heal with a much smoother texture.

2. Fraxel laser
Fraxel laser is a “fractional” treatment, meaning it treats only a fraction of the skin at a time with thousands of microscopic laser columns. This leaves the surrounding tissue intact, which promotes rapid healing. It is excellent for blending the texture of surgical or injury scars with the surrounding skin.

3. Sciton laser (Scar revision)
The Sciton laser system is highly customizable. Using its precision ablative technology, our specialists can “sculpt” the edges of a raised scar, leveling it with the rest of the skin surface. It is particularly effective for hypertrophic scars that require meticulous thinning.

4. Fotona laser
Fotona utilizes dual wavelengths (Er:YAG and Nd:YAG) to address both the surface texture and the deeper vascular components of a scar. It is ideal for reducing the redness (vascularity) associated with newer or inflamed scars.

5. Pico laser
For scars that have become dark or hyperpigmented, the Pico laser uses ultrashort picosecond pulses to shatter pigment particles without damaging the surrounding skin. This is an essential tool for evening out skin tone during scar removal treatment in Dubai.

6. Dermapen (Microneedling)
Dermapen provides a mechanical way to break up old, fibrous scar tissue. By creating thousands of micro-channels, it triggers the body’s natural wound-healing response, replacing the stiff scar tissue with flexible, new skin.

7. Surgical scar revision
In cases of very wide or long scars, the best scar removal in Dubai may involve surgery. Our surgeons excise the old scar and re-close the wound using advanced plastic surgery techniques to ensure the new scar is as thin and discreet as possible.

Your recovery timeline depends on whether you had a non-invasive laser session or a surgical revision.
- Laser recovery: Following laser scar removal in Dubai, the skin may appear red or slightly swollen, similar to a sunburn. This usually subsides within 3 to 7 days.
- Surgical recovery: If a surgical revision is performed, sutures are typically removed within a week. You must avoid stretching the area to prevent the new scar from widening.
- Sun protection: This is the most critical step. New skin is highly sensitive. You must apply high-SPF sunscreen daily to prevent the scar from darkening (hyperpigmentation).
- Topical care: Your doctor will recommend the best scar removal cream in Dubai (often silicone-based) to be applied during the remodeling phase to keep the tissue flat and hydrated.
While scar removal in Dubai is generally very safe, it is important to be aware of potential risks:
- Pigment changes: Temporary lightening or darkening of the skin, especially in darker skin tones.
- Incomplete removal: A scar can be significantly improved, but it can never be 100% removed.
- Recurrence: Keloids, in particular, have a risk of returning. We often combine treatment with steroid injections to minimize this risk.
During your consultation, we provide a transparent overview of these risks to ensure you are fully informed.
Scar removal surgery cost in Dubai varies based on the size, type, and complexity of the scar. Factors influencing the cost include:

Yes. While newer scars often respond faster, advanced fractional lasers like Fraxel and Sciton can successfully revise scars that are years or even decades old.
No medical treatment can make a scar 100% invisible, but we can often improve it so significantly that it is no longer noticeable in casual social interactions
Yes. Men’s skin can be more prone to certain types of scarring (like keloids from injuries). We adjust our laser settings and surgical techniques specifically for male skin physiology.
For most non-ablative lasers, there is minimal downtime, and you can return to work the same or the next day. Deep CO₂ resurfacing may require 3–5 days of “social downtime.”
