One of the most common scar types encountered is acne scarring. Acne, a common skin condition, can leave behind stubborn scars, impacting both physical appearance and self-esteem. Acne scars could be of icepick, boxcar or rolling type of scars. Several treatment options like chemical peels, fractional lasers, microneedle radiofrequency and surgical techniques like subcision, TCA cross and punch elevation are performed to treat different types of scars. By customizing treatment plans to suit each patient’s unique needs, people can see remarkable improvements in their skin s texture and tone.
Aside from acne scars, surgical scars are commonly seen. Whether from a minor procedure or major surgery, scars can vary in size, depth, and appearance. Surgical scars can be managed through topical applications, laser resurfacing, scar revision surgery, microneedle radiofrequency, and injectable fillers.
Some people have severe scarring resulting from injuries or burns. These scars can be particularly challenging, both physically and emotionally. Traumatic scars can improve with fractional laser resurfacing, microneedling and sometimes scar revision surgeries. Burn scars are often thick, discoloured and itchy and improve with topical applications containing silicon gels. Severe burn scars require skin grafting, flaps and tissue expansion techniques to improve their aesthetic and functional outcome. Burn scars on the scalp may be treated by hair transplantation.
Scar treatments require constant post-treatment care and support. A comprehensive follow-up care and adjustments in treatment plans are needed to achieve optimal results.
