How Do Scars Form?
Scar formation is a natural part of the skin healing process. It results from accidents, diseases, skin conditions and surgery. Although scars are permanent, they can improve and fade over a period of up to two years based on the severity of the injury, the size of the wound and the location on the body. After this time, it is unlikely they will continue to fade. Some people are also more prone to developing severe scars, with factors such as age, heredity and ethnicity affecting scar formation.
What Kind of Scar Do You Have?
Different types of scars require different treatment. Your age and how long you’ve had the scar may also affect the types of treatment that will work best for you. A board-certified dermatologist has the training and experience required to tell you: the type of scar you have, if a scar is likely to fade with time, when to treat the scar to get the best results, and what treatment is recommended. Aside from topical treatments, our clinic offers an array of treatment options specific for your scar type.
Different types of scars
Hypertrophic Scar

These are raised, red scars that are similar to keloids but do not go beyond the boundary of the injury. Treatments include injections of steroids to reduce inflammation or silicone sheets, which flatten the scar.
Keloid Scar
Hypertrophic Scar
Hypertrophic Scar
These scars are the result of an overly aggressive healing process. They extend beyond the original injury. Treatments include surgery to remove the scar, steroid injections, and cryotherapy for smaller keloids.
