Scar Management
What is a scar?
A scar is the body’s natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. A scar is usually composed of fibrous tissue. Scars may appear anywhere on the body, and the composition of a scar may vary. A scar may appear flat, lumpy, sunken, or coloured. It may be painful or itchy. The final look of a scar depends on many factors, including the skin type and location on the body, the direction of the wound, the type of injury, age of the person with the scar, and his or her nutritional status.
What are the different types of scars?
Abnormal scars sometimes form after a wound has healed. There are many different types of scars, including:
Keloid scar is a raised, enlarged scar, caused by excess collagen production. It is a benign tumour of scar tissue which grows excessively. They can appear soon after a very minor skin damage such as an acne spot or a piercing. they can develop months later. Although keloid is harmless to general health and does not change into anything sinister, they can be uncomfortable or itchy and extend well beyond the original wound.
Hypertrophic scars are similar to keloid scars. Like keloid scar, hypertrophic scar is the result of excess collagen being produced, but unlike keloids, hypertrophic scars stay within the boundary of the original wound. While a hypertrophic scar generally settles in time or with treatment, a keloid may persist and prove resistant to treatments.
Atrophic scar is an indented scar which can be a result of severe acne or chickenpox.
At The London Cosmetic Clinic, we offer safe and effective treatments for a range of scars, including keloids, hypertrophic and atrophic scars, which can reduce the appearance or permanently remove these scars.
Hi, my name is Jean-Claude. I’ve been coming to this clinic for nearly a year now and I must say I’m more, more, more than satisfied. I’ve been having Kiloid for nearly 5 or 6 years and I’ve been everywhere to cure it and I’ve never had someone to help me. Since I’ve come in here, I see a big, big improvement. And to be honest with you, it’s not the medication they’re doing me, but it’s the people here. They are so professional and they’re so nice. They’ve been talking to me, make me feel like I’m okay already. And they make me bring me a new feel of life because there was a point I wanted to kill myself. because of the killer eat and I lost hope and since I came here I mean everything changed my life changed I’m happy to leave and I don’t know it’s amazing thank you.
