Scarring can result from a variety of skin issues, such as acne, injuries, or surgery. At My Dermatology Clinics, we offer advanced treatments designed to reduce the appearance of scars, promoting smoother, more even skin.
Symptoms
- Raised or depressed areas on the skin’s surface.
- Discolouration or dark spots in the area of the scar.
- Thick, lumpy scars (hypertrophic or keloid scars).
- Pitted or indented scars (atrophic scars).
- Visible scars that remain after acne, surgery, or injury has healed.
Causes and Risk Factors
Causes:
- Healing after an injury, surgery, or acne.
- Inflammation or infection during the healing process.
- Overproduction of collagen during wound healing.
- Skin trauma, burns, or other injuries.
Risk Factors:
- Genetics: Some individuals are more prone to developing certain types of scars, such as keloids.
- Delay in proper wound care or infection.
- Excessive tension on the skin during the healing process.
- Picking at or squeezing pimples during acne outbreaks.
Treatment Options
- Laser Treatments: Targets the pigmentation and texture of scars to improve skin appearance.
- Microneedling: Stimulates collagen production to reduce the visibility of scars and improve skin texture.
- Chemical Peels: Exfoliates the skin and reduces scar tissue for smoother skin.
- Steroid Injections: For hypertrophic or keloid scars, to flatten and soften the scar tissue.
- Fillers: For atrophic scars, fillers can restore volume and smooth out indented areas.
Prevention Tips
- Keep wounds clean and moisturised to promote proper healing.
- Avoid picking at or scratching healing skin to reduce the risk of scarring.
- Protect scars from the sun by using sunscreen to prevent pigmentation changes.
- Apply silicone gel sheets or ointments to help flatten and soften scars.
- Consider consulting a dermatologist early on to manage and treat scars effectively.
