Methods of scar treatment
| Method | For which scars | What is known |
|---|---|---|
| Fat grafting (lipofilling) | Depressed, tethered, surgical, burn scars | Reviews report better appearance, pliability and sometimes pain; data are mixed |
| PRP | Atrophic acne scars, usually with laser or microneedling | Adding PRP slightly improves the results of combined procedures |
| Laser, microneedling | Uneven surface and texture | Standard methods; often combined with PRP |
| Steroid injections, silicone | Hypertrophic and keloid scars | Main approach for raised scars; chosen by a dermatologist |
Important to know
- Several sessions are usually needed; results are assessed after 3–6 months.
- Part of the grafted fat is resorbed.
- Bruising, swelling, irregularities, colour changes and, rarely, infection are possible.
- Fresh scars (under 6–12 months) are often observed first.
We select clinics and request a plan and prices. Other procedures are on the aesthetic medicine page.

Frequently asked questions about scar treatment
Can a scar be removed completely?
Usually not. The aim is to make the scar softer, flatter and less noticeable.
Do stem cells help?
There is no convincing evidence that isolated stem cells are better than ordinary fat grafting.
What is done for keloid scars?
They are treated differently: steroid injections, silicone, sometimes radiation. A dermatologist chooses the method.
How can RegenPAS help?
RegenPAS is a patient service centre in Munich, not a clinic. We review your images and symptoms and send a request to several partner clinics at once. Clinics that can accept you send their own conditions and price; prices differ between clinics, and you choose the option that suits you. The coordinator replies within 24 hours, and a clinic physician’s preliminary opinion follows in 1–3 business days. We then arrange the appointment, visa invitation, interpreter, transfers and accommodation. Treatment decisions are made by the clinic physician. Contact a coordinator.
