Scars tell the story of your skin’s resilience, but they don’t always need to be permanent reminders. Whether caused by an injury, surgery, or conditions like acne, scars can take on various forms that may impact your skin’s appearance or even its function.
At Dr Malay Mehta’s clinic, we offer tailored scars treatment solutions designed to smooth, soften and rejuvenate the skin. We use advanced techniques to enhance your skin’s natural recovery process while improving its overall texture and tone.
What Are the Types of Scars?
Understanding the type of scar is essential to choose the most effective treatment. The main types of scars include:
- Flat Scars: These scars appear level with the surrounding skin and may darken over time, especially on dark skin, due to increased pigmentation.
- Raised Scars: Also known as hypertrophic scars, these scars form when the body produces excess collagen during healing. They remain within the wound’s original boundary but appear elevated and firm.
- Keloid Scars: A more severe form of raised scar, keloid scars extend beyond the original wound area. They may feel itchy or uncomfortable and are more common in certain skin types.
- Depressed Scars: Depressed scars occur when there is a loss of tissue, leading to indentations. Examples include acne scars (also called ice-pick scars).
- Contracture Scars: These scars form after severe injuries like burns. A contracture scar tightens the skin, potentially limiting movement and may affect underlying muscles or blood vessels.
Why Do Scars Form?
Scar formation is part of the body’s natural healing process. When the skin is injured, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the wound, resulting in scar tissue. Factors such as the depth of the wound, skin type and care during healing influence how a scar appears. Sun exposure to damaged skin may worsen scarring or even increase the risk of developing skin cancer in severe cases.
Scars Treatment Options
We offer a range of treatments to treat scars, each tailored to the type and severity of the scar. These include:
Chemical Peels
A Chemical Peel removes the outer layers of the skin to reduce the appearance of scars. This treatment works well for flat scars and minor surface irregularities by improving skin tone and texture.
Laser Therapy
Laser therapy is effective for a variety of scars, including raised scars and deeper scars. It promotes skin regeneration by targeting scar tissue, helping to flatten scars and improve their overall appearance. This method is also helpful for addressing pigmentation changes in scars on dark skin.
Skin Whitening Treatment
For scars with pigmentation issues, such as dark or discoloured scars, Skin Whitening Treatment can help even out skin tone. This treatment uses advanced methods to target uneven pigmentation, leaving the skin brighter and more uniform.
Steroid and Corticosteroid Injections
Steroid injections or corticosteroid injections are often used to treat raised scars, including keloid scars. These injections reduce inflammation, soften the scar and prevent further growth.
Skin Graft
A skin graft may be required for severe scars, such as large contracture scars, to improve functionality and appearance. This procedure involves transplanting healthy skin to the affected area.
