Facial scars—whether from acne, injury, surgery, or inflammation—can leave more than just a physical mark. At Allure Laser, Skin & Aesthetic Medicine Centre in Nairobi-Karen and Mombasa, Kenya, we believe everyone deserves clear, radiant skin. This guide explores expert-backed methods to prevent and treat facial scarring, and which Mesoestetic products we recommend for optimal results.
Why You Might Be Experiencing Facial Scarring
Scars develop when the skin heals after trauma. Whether it’s a breakout, a wound, or a surgical procedure, how you care for your skin during the healing process determines the final outcome.
Common causes of facial scars:
Acne or cystic acne
Cuts, scrapes, or surgical incisions
Burns or allergic reactions
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
How to Prevent Facial Scarring
1. Clean Wounds Properly
Gently cleanse with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water
Avoid harsh scrubs or aggressive rubbing
At Allure, we recommend Mesoestetic Hydra Milk Cleanser for gentle daily use
2. Keep Skin Moist and Protected
Use a silicone-based scar gel or healing ointment to retain moisture
Apply Mesoprotech® Melan 130 Pigment Control SPF to prevent UV-induced darkening of healing skin
3. Don’t Pick!
Scratching or squeezing can worsen scars and introduce bacteria
Use targeted spot treatments like Mesoestetic Acne One to speed up healing
4. Incorporate Preventive Active Ingredients
Niacinamide for skin barrier repair
Vitamin C for collagen production
Retinol for skin renewal (use only under guidance)
