Traumatic & Burn Scar Treatment

Traumatic and burn scars are often more than skin-deep. They can serve as permanent reminders of pain, accidents, or surgeries. For many patients, these scars affect self-confidence, mobility, and even daily comfort.

Understanding Burn Scars: Types and Challenges

Burn scars can result from exposure to heat, chemicals, radiation, or friction. Their appearance and severity depend on the depth and location of the injury. Scar tissue replaces normal skin after a burn, often leading to disfigurement, contractures, and restricted movement. Common types of burn-related scars include:

Hypertrophic scars: Raised, thick, and red scars within the wound boundary

Keloid scars: Extend beyond the initial injury, often itchy and painful

Contracture scars: Cause tightening of the skin and underlying muscles, especially after deep burns

At Canada Scar Clinic, our treatment plans are based on the type of burn scar, its maturity, and your personal goals.

Comprehensive Burn & Traumatic Scar Solutions

Burn and traumatic scars often require more than one approach. At Canada Scar Clinic, we use a combination of advanced technologies and minimally invasive techniques; from lasers and microneedling to peels, fillers, and surgical precision methods. Our goal is to restore both comfort and confidence with tailored treatment plans.

Fractional Laser Therapy for Burn Scars

Delivers precise columns of light energy into scar tissue, stimulating collagen remodeling while softening thickened areas, reducing redness, and smoothing texture.

Subcision for Contracted or Tethered Scars

A fine needle is inserted beneath the scar to release tight fibrous bands, restoring mobility and allowing the skin to lift more naturally.

RF Microneedling (RF Fractional)

Combines microneedles with controlled radiofrequency heat to remodel deeper scar layers, improving firmness, elasticity, and overall surface appearance with minimal downtime.

Chemical Peels for Hyperpigmentationt

Applies a medical-grade peeling solution that resurfaces the outer skin, helping to fade dark marks, even skin tone, and refine texture.

Punch Excision for Isolated Scars

A small surgical tool precisely removes deep, isolated scars; the site is then carefully closed under local anesthesia, promoting smoother healing.

Dermal Fillers for Depressed or Sunken Scars

Soft, biocompatible gels are injected beneath indentations to lift the scarred area, restore lost volume, and create a smoother skin contour.

Additional Options: Supportive Therapies and Combination Care:

For discoloration or volume loss around burn scars, options like chemical peels, dermal fillers, or cryotherapy can enhance results. These are often integrated with lasers or RF microneedling as part of a phased treatment plan.

FAQs

Yes. While scars cannot be erased completely, treatments like fractional laser, RF microneedling, subcision, and peels can soften thick tissue, smooth uneven texture, improve flexibility, and reduce discoloration. The goal is noticeable improvement and better comfort, not “scar-free.”

It depends on the scar’s size, age, and type. Most patients need a series of 3–6 sessions spaced 4–8 weeks apart. We’ll review your progress at each stage and adjust the plan if needed.

Most patients describe the feeling as mild heat, pressure, or stinging. We use numbing creams, local anesthetics, or cooling devices to make sessions as comfortable as possible.

Downtime varies: laser and RF can cause redness or swelling for 1–3 days, chemical peels may lead to flaking for about a week, and subcision or punch excision can leave mild bruising or stitches that heal within 7–10 days. Fillers usually cause only minor swelling or tenderness for a day or two.

Aftercare is simple: keep the area clean, moisturized, and protected with daily SPF. Avoid picking or scratching and limit direct sun or heavy exercise for 24–48 hours. We provide personalized instructions after each session.

What to Expect During Treatment

Each patient begins with a full medical consultation where we assess:

Type and depth of scar tissue

Skin tone and overall skin condition

Pain level and functional limitations

Previous treatments

From there, we create a tailored plan using the most appropriate modalities. Most treatments are outpatient and require no significant downtime.

Recovery expectations:

Mild redness or swelling for 1–3 days

Gradual texture improvement over weeks

Cumulative results with multiple sessions
