What does your Scar revision journey at V6 clinics look like?
The procedure for scar revision varies depending on the type, location, and severity of the scar, as well as the technique recommended by the specialist. Here’s an overview of common scar revision techniques:
Scar Revision Surgeries
Scar revision surgeries utilize specialized techniques to reduce the visibility of scars and restore a more even skin surface.
Types of Scar Revision Surgeries
1. Subcision Technique
- Best suited for treating depressed scars.
- Releases fibrous bands beneath the skin that pull the scar downward.
- Allows the skin to rise, creating a smoother and more even surface.
2. Scar Excision
- Involves surgically removing the scar tissue.
- Particularly effective for deep or prominent scars.
- Sutures or skin grafting are used to improve the appearance of the treated area.
3. Punch Excision
- A specific form of scar excision designed for small, deep scars, such as acne scars.
- The scar is removed using a punch tool, and the area is closed with stitches or grafts.
4. Punch Floatation Technique
- Used for deeper, pitted scars.
- The scar tissue is lifted and realigned to blend more seamlessly with surrounding skin.
- Improves overall texture and appearance.
What to expect after the procedure?
Mild Discomfort and Swelling
It’s normal to experience some pain, swelling, and redness in the treated area. These symptoms typically subside within a few days to a week, and over-the-counter pain medications can help manage discomfort.
Healing Time
The healing process varies depending on the type of scar revision surgery. Stitches from procedures like punch excision or scar excision are usually removed within 5-10 days. Full healing and improvement in scar appearance may take several weeks to months.
Scar Appearance
Initially, the treated area may look red or raised, but over time the new scar will gradually fade and flatten. It can take several months to see the final result of the procedure.
Follow-Up Care
Regular follow-up appointments may be necessary to monitor healing and ensure optimal results. Your doctor may recommend specific creams, ointments, or silicone sheets to help with scar healing and reduce visibility.
Minimal Downtime
Most patients can return to their normal activities within a day or two after the procedure, but it’s advisable to avoid strenuous activities for at least a week to allow proper healing.
Sun Protection
Protecting the treated area from direct sun exposure is crucial, as UV rays can darken the scar and slow down the healing process. Use a high SPF sunscreen to safeguard the healing skin.
Results
Scar revision results vary depending on the type and severity of the scar, but most patients notice significant improvement in the appearance of their scar. While complete removal is not always possible, our treatments are designed to minimize the scar’s prominence, blending it more naturally into the surrounding skin. Over time, you’ll notice a smoother, more even complexion that boosts your confidence.

The cost of scar revision at V6 Clinics varies based on the treatment plan recommended for you. Factors such as the size, location, and type of scar all influence the overall cost. Scar revision procedure usually takes place between INR 10,000 to INR 20,000 per session.
