Scar Management

Scar management involves various techniques to reduce the visibility of scars, improve skin texture, and promote healing. The best approach depends on the type of scar, its location, and how the skin heals.

Types of Scars:

Hypertrophic Scars – Raised and red but stay within the wound boundary.
Keloid Scars – Overgrown, thick, and extend beyond the wound area.
Atrophic Scars – Sunken or pitted, common in acne or chickenpox scars.
Contracture Scars – Tightened skin due to burns or deep wounds.

Scar Revision

Scar revision is a procedure designed to improve the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery, or skin conditions. While scars are a natural part of healing, some may be raised, sunken, discolored, or restrict movement. Scar revision helps minimize their visibility and restore a smoother, more even skin texture.

Common concerns with scars include:

Thick, raised (hypertrophic or keloid) scars that may be itchy or painful.
Depressed or sunken scars, often from acne or deep wounds.
Contracture scars, which can limit movement, especially near joints.

Treatment options vary based on scar type and may include laser therapy, surgical excision, steroid injections, or skin grafting. The goal is to enhance skin appearance while maintaining function and flexibility.
