Ever seen a scar that heals thick, raised, or rope-like? 🩺
Proper post-op care starts during surgery, but how your body remodels collagen determines the final scar result. Here is how we evaluate and treat thick, raised marks:
🔍 Hypertrophic vs. Keloid Scars:
Hypertrophic Scars: Raised and firm, but stay strictly within the original incision boundary.
Keloids: Proliferative tissue that grows beyond the original incision site, often causing itching, tightness, and discomfort.
🛠️ Targeted Treatment Options:
While surgical closure technique and tension-relieving sutures are crucial, stubborn scars often need extra non-surgical intervention:
Silicone Gel & Sheeting: Protects the moisture barrier and flattens fresh tissue.
Red Light Therapy: Supports tissue repair and cellular turnover.
Corticosteroid Injections: Breaks down excess collagen bundles to flatten raised ridges.
Collagen Induction Therapy: Softens and remodels dense, fibrous scar bands.
