Types of Scars

• Keloid Scars: These are raised scars that extend beyond the original injury. Over time, a keloid scar may affect mobility and require treatment for its removal.
• Contracture Scars: If your skin has been burned, you may have a contracture scar, which tightens the skin and may impair your ability to move.
• Hypertrophic Scars: These are raised, red scars like keloids but do not extend beyond the boundary of the wound. They may decrease in size over time.
• Atrophic Scars: These scars appear as depressions in the skin and occur when underlying structures supporting the skin, like fat or muscle, are lost. They often occur due to surgery or acne.
• Acne Scars: Severe acne often leaves behind scars that can vary in shape and size, ranging from deep pits to angular or wavelike appearances.

Scar Removal Procedures

Various options are available for scar removal, each tailored to the type and severity of the scar.

• Dermabrasion involves the removal of the surface of the skin with special equipment and is often used for acne scars.
• Laser resurfacing uses high-energy light to remove or remodel scar tissue, which reduces the appearance of scars.
• Filler injections are used to treat atrophic scars, filling in the area under the skin to give it a more even look.
• Surgical scar revision involves removing the scar and reattaching the skin.
