Treating Scars with Advanced Technology: A Complete Guide to Scar Revision at Fabulash Brows & Aesthetics

  • Jul 10
  • 5 min read


Scars tell a story—but they don't have to define your skin forever.

At Fabulash Brows & Aesthetics in Wellington, we believe every scar deserves an individual treatment plan. After treating hundreds of clients with different types of scars, we've learned one important truth:


There is no single treatment that works for every scar.

Different scars require different technologies, and often the best results come from combining treatments at the right stage of healing.

Our clinic combines multiple advanced technologies, including:

  • Venus Versa™ Nanofractional Radio Frequency

  • Nanozelle Cold Plasma

  • Plasma Fibroblast (Hot Plasma)

  • Medical Microneedling with Professional Scar Serums

This combination allows us to treat a wide range of scars more effectively than relying on a single treatment alone.

Understanding Different Types of Scars

Not all scars are the same.

The first step of successful scar revision is identifying the scar type.

1. Acne Scars

These include:

  • Ice Pick scars

  • Boxcar scars

  • Rolling scars

  • Mixed acne scars

Usually caused by collagen loss after inflammation.

Best treatments:

  • Nanofractional RF

  • Microneedling

  • Cold Plasma

  • Combination therapy

2. Surgical Scars

Examples include:

  • Caesarean scars

  • Mole removal scars

  • Cosmetic surgery scars

  • Orthopaedic surgery scars

Treatment depends on:

  • Age of scar

  • Thickness

  • Colour

  • Adhesion

3. Traumatic Scars

Caused by:

  • Falls

  • Burns

  • Accidents

  • Cuts

  • Animal bites

These scars often have irregular texture and pigment changes.

4. Stretch Marks (Striae)

Although technically different from scars, stretch marks respond to many of the same collagen stimulation treatments.

5. Hypertrophic Scars

Raised but remain within the original wound.

Need careful treatment to flatten while improving texture.

6. Contracture Scars

Often caused by burns.

These require specialist assessment and sometimes medical referral before cosmetic treatment.

Why One Treatment Is Usually Not Enough

Many clinics advertise a single "miracle scar treatment."

In reality, scar tissue has multiple problems occurring at the same time:

  • Poor collagen structure

  • Tight fibrous tissue

  • Poor blood circulation

  • Pigment changes

  • Reduced skin elasticity

  • Uneven texture

Each technology targets different parts of the healing process.

That is why combination therapy often produces significantly better long-term results.

Technology 1: Venus Versa™ Nanofractional Radio Frequency

How It Works

Nanofractional RF creates thousands of microscopic treatment zones deep within the skin using radiofrequency energy.

This stimulates:

  • New collagen

  • Elastin

  • Skin remodelling

  • Scar softening

Unlike many traditional lasers, the epidermis remains largely protected.

Best For

✔ Acne scars

✔ Surgical scars

✔ Deep texture

✔ Enlarged pores

✔ Wrinkles

✔ Skin tightening

Advantages

  • Safe for many skin types

  • Minimal downtime

  • Less pigmentation risk than some lasers

  • Excellent collagen stimulation

  • Improves overall skin quality

Disadvantages

  • Usually requires multiple treatments

  • Temporary redness

  • Mild swelling

  • Small pinpoint crusting for several days

Technology 2: Nanozelle Cold Plasma

6

Cold Plasma is one of the most exciting developments in regenerative skin therapy.

Unlike heat-based treatments, Nanozelle Cold Plasma works through ionised gas that stimulates skin healing without causing thermal injury.

Benefits

Cold Plasma:

  • Reduces inflammation

  • Improves wound healing

  • Stimulates collagen

  • Encourages healthy skin regeneration

  • Helps remodel scar tissue

  • Supports better healing after other procedures

Particularly Helpful For

  • Fresh scars

  • Sensitive skin

  • Post-inflammatory redness

  • Difficult healing

  • Combination therapy

Advantages

  • Comfortable treatment

  • Minimal downtime

  • Excellent for sensitive skin

  • Supports natural healing

Limitations

Cold Plasma alone is usually insufficient for deep depressed scars.

It works best as part of a treatment plan.

Technology 3: Plasma Fibroblast (Hot Plasma)


Hot Plasma (Fibroblast) creates tiny controlled plasma arcs that stimulate fibroblast activity.

It is excellent for:

  • Skin tightening

  • Scar contraction

  • Surface remodelling

Best For

  • Small scars

  • Raised scars

  • Loose skin around scars

  • Fine texture irregularities

Advantages

  • Significant skin tightening

  • Long-lasting collagen stimulation

  • Excellent precision

Disadvantages

  • Longer downtime

  • Small carbon dots during healing

  • Requires careful aftercare

  • Not suitable for everyone

Technology 4: Medical Microneedling with Scar Serums

Microneedling creates controlled microchannels that stimulate natural collagen production.

Combined with professional scar serums, penetration and absorption improve dramatically.

Depending on your skin, we may incorporate ingredients such as:

  • Growth factors

  • Hyaluronic acid

  • Peptides

  • Copper peptides

  • Exosomes (where appropriate)

  • Professional scar-repair formulations

Best For

  • Early acne scars

  • Stretch marks

  • Surgical scars

  • Pigmentation

  • Overall texture

Advantages

  • Suitable for most skin types

  • Excellent collagen stimulation

  • Minimal downtime

  • Can be repeated safely

Disadvantages

  • Multiple sessions required

  • Results develop gradually

  • Home care is essential

Why We Often Combine Technologies

Every scar has different layers.

For example:

Acne Scar Program

  • Nanofractional RF to remodel deep collagen

  • Cold Plasma to accelerate healing

  • Microneedling to improve texture

  • Scar serum infusion

Surgical Scar Program

  • Cold Plasma for tissue repair

  • Fibroblast if tightening is needed

  • Microneedling for collagen remodelling

Burn Scar Program

Treatment depends on:

  • Scar maturity

  • Pigmentation

  • Thickness

  • Elasticity

Often requires staged combination therapy.

Stretch Marks

Combination may include:

  • Nanofractional RF

  • Microneedling

  • Cold Plasma

Who Is Suitable?

You may be suitable if you have:

✔ Acne scars

✔ Surgical scars

✔ Burn scars

✔ Injury scars

✔ Stretch marks

✔ Chickenpox scars

✔ Old cosmetic procedure scars

A professional consultation is essential before treatment.

When Should Treatment Begin?

Scar treatment can begin at different stages depending on healing.

Fresh scars often benefit from early intervention once the skin has healed sufficiently.

Older scars can still improve significantly—even years later—although they may require more sessions.

What Results Can You Expect?

Scar revision is about improvement, not perfection.

Our goal is to:

  • Smooth texture

  • Soften raised tissue

  • Improve skin colour

  • Increase flexibility

  • Stimulate healthy collagen

  • Restore confidence

Many clients notice progressive improvement over several months as collagen continues rebuilding.

Scar Treatment Aftercare

Successful scar revision depends just as much on aftercare as the treatment itself.

We recommend:

Immediately After Treatment

  • Keep skin clean

  • Avoid picking or scratching

  • Follow all clinic instructions carefully

For the First Week

  • Avoid excessive heat

  • No swimming

  • Avoid vigorous exercise for the recommended period

  • Do not use harsh skincare products

Sun Protection

Daily SPF 50+ is essential.

UV exposure can increase pigmentation and slow healing.

Long-Term Care

Healthy collagen continues developing for several months.

Following the full treatment plan and attending scheduled review appointments helps maximise your results.
