I got the scar when I was a child and split my head open. I am 21 now and it is very noticeable and makes me feel insecure. Can I get get a kind of treatment that won't be too expensive in the UK?

Answer: Laser Resurfacing for Traumatic Scars on Face
Laser Resurfacing for Traumatic Scars on Face has been proven successful. No laser treatment or surgical removal of the scar will make the scar disappear completely. Laser resurfacing, as with the Fraxel laser, may help stimulate new collagen, soften the surface irregularities of the scar and make it 'blend' better with the rest of the skin around it. Multiple treatments are required. Recovery and side effects from treatment are minimal, with proper post-operative care.

Answer: Scar revision I see patients with this issue all the time. You can have the scar surgically excised and reclosed using plastic surgical technique to improve its appearance. If the scar is spread, depending upon its size, it can be excised and closed in one sitting or via serial excision to leave the smallest possible resultant scar. These are both office based procedures but I can't comment on the cost of fee for service procedures in the UK.
