A scar is a deposition of fibrous tissue that leaves a mark left on your skin, usually after an injury heals.
[b]What kind of scars do we take care?[/b]
All kinds of scars are treated at Everlast. These include:
[b]Atrophic scars [/b]– Atrophic acne scars can appear flat or sunken, and sometimes look like a hole in the skin. Examples: chickenpox, cystic acne, or extensive ultraviolet damage.
[b]Hypertrophic scars – [/b]are raised, firm scars that grow above the surface of the skin. Examples: cuts, surgery, burns or even acne.
[b]Keloid scars [/b]– This is also a raised scar. The main difference from a hypertrophic scar is that they can grow outside the wound area.
[b]Striae Distensae (Stretch marks) –[/b] Stretch marks are also a form of scarring. These are caused when the skin is stretched rapidly, like pregnancy or rapid weight gain. Examples: Striae Rubrae, Striae Alba
