Scar Management

COSMEX offers tailored scar management to improve skin health and scar appearance.

Scars vary in type, location and severity, and treatment suitability differs between individuals. A consultation is required to assess your skin and determine an appropriate management approach and, following this, treatment options like skin needling, laser therapies, LED, and medical-grade skincare are used to support renewal and texture.

Post-operative scar management includes scar massage with a scar balm and use of a silicone-based tape. By maintaining hydration, protecting the skin, and supporting the natural healing process with massage and moisturising, you are helping to optimise your skin’s recovery over time.

It is important to note that individual results vary, and no treatment can completely remove a scar. All medical and cosmetic procedures carry potential risks and benefits, which will be discussed during your consultation.

Post-operative Scar Management

Following surgery, consistent aftercare using scar balm and tape plays an important role in supporting the skin’s recovery process. Healing takes time, and each individual’s response may vary.

By maintaining hydration, protecting the skin, and supporting the natural healing process with massage and moisturising, you are helping to optimise your skin’s recovery over time.

Staff can advise on selection of products to optimise healing and give best results.

Scar Balm

• Helps maintain skin hydration
• Supports the skin’s natural barrier function
• Suitable for gentle scar massage
• May assist in softening and improving skin texture

Scar Tape

Protects, flattens, and softens surgical or injury-related scars while helping to minimise the risk of raised or thickened tissue.

Works by gentle compression and optimal moisture balance to support a smoother scar texture.

By alternating between scar balm and tape for 6-12 months, optimal results can be achieved

Individual healing results vary, and while aftercare optimizes recovery, no treatment removes scars entirely.

Scar Balm:

Maintains hydration and barrier function; ideal for softening texture via massage.

Scar Tape:

Provides a breathable protective layer that balances moisture and reduces friction/UV irritation.

Usage Protocol (After wounds have completely healed).

Monday–Friday: Wear Scar Tape. Pat dry after showers.

Saturday–Sunday: Remove tape and apply Scar Balm daily, massaging for 5–10 minutes.

Maintain this weekly cycle for 6–12 months for optimal results.
