Scarring
Scars, whether from injury, surgery or skin conditions, can impact your self-esteem and confidence. At Define Clinic, we recognise the significance of scars and offer effective treatments to help you achieve smoother, rejuvenated skin. Let’s delve into the causes of scarring, the treatment options available at Define Clinic and how our expert team can assist you in regaining your confidence.
What Is Scarring?
Scars are part of the body’s natural healing process, they happen following tissue damage caused by injury, surgery or conditions like chickenpox or acne.
It occurs when the skin’s dermis, the deeper layer of tissue, is affected, leading to the formation of fibrous tissue as part of the repair process.
Understanding Scarring
Scars can vary widely in appearance and texture, depending on factors such as the depth and extent of the injury, individual healing processes, and skin type. Understanding the nature of scarring is essential for developing effective treatment strategies to improve skin texture and appearance.
Hypertrophic Scars – These scars are raised and may be red or discoloured. They typically remain within the boundaries of the original injury or condition.
Atrophic Scars – These scars appear as depressions or pits in the skin, often caused by the loss of tissue during the healing process.
Keloid Scars – Similar to hypertrophic scars, keloid scars are raised, firm and extend beyond the boundaries of the original injury or condition.
