Scar Improvement
Specialists in treatments to improve the appearance of scars
General Overview
Scar formation is a consequence of the natural healing process that takes place when body tissue suffers a physical injury. Depending on their size and the anatomical areas where they are located, scars can significantly affect a patient because of their aesthetic impact.
There are two types of pathological scars that can appear after a skin injury: hypertrophic scars and keloids. Both are pathological scars resulting from an abnormal, exaggerated response of the natural healing process. These lesions can be painful and itchy, causing significant functional and aesthetic problems.
Many methods for treating and improving scars are described in the scientific literature, both surgical and non-surgical. These include surgical excision, corticosteroid injections, peels of varying depths, microneedling or dermapen, laser therapy, silicone sheets, and others.
Depending on the characteristics of the scars, how long they have been present, their origin, the condition of the surrounding tissue and other factors, one type of treatment may be more suitable than another. At our clinic we will offer you the specific treatment best suited to improving the appearance of your scars.
