Scars & Skin Repair
Scars form as the skin rebuilds itself after injury, surgery, or acne, laying down collagen in a different pattern than normal skin. How a scar heals depends on the depth of the damage, skin type, and the body’s repair process, which is regulated by your circadian rhythm. Ongoing inflammation during healing can lead to thicker, more visible, or discoloured scarring.
Who this applies to
Scar-focused care applies to raised, indented, or discoloured scars, though results vary with the age and type of scar. Newer scars often respond better than very old ones. Higher Fitzpatrick skin tones are more prone to raised or dark scarring, so gentle, well-chosen approaches matter more than aggressive ones, which can worsen pigmentation and inflammation.
My recommendation
Total Beauty Care by Silde is now a fully online practice, so this page is guidance rather than a bookable in-person service. The best starting point is a Circadian Skin Analysis, a written report that assesses your skin type, triggers, and daily rhythm and gives you a targeted plan for understanding your scar type and choosing a realistic, safe approach. Digital guides and recommended products will be added here as they are released.
