Hypertrophic and keloid scars

Effective Treatments for Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars

Hypertrophic and keloid scars are types of raised scars that result from an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. Hypertrophic scars remain within the boundaries of the original wound, while keloid scars extend beyond the wound edges, often becoming larger and more pronounced over time. These scars can be itchy, painful, and aesthetically displeasing, affecting both physical comfort and self-esteem.

Factors contributing to the development of hypertrophic and keloid scars include genetic predisposition, skin type, and wound location. Effective treatment can help flatten and reduce the appearance of these scars, alleviating discomfort and improving skin texture.

  • How does Terra Skin Clinic treat Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars?

    We offer steroid injections to flatten and soften hypertrophic and keloid scars. The treatment involves injecting corticosteroids directly into the scar tissue to reduce inflammation and collagen production. This procedure is repeated every 4-6 weeks until the desired improvement is achieved, offering effective and patient-friendly solutions for scar reduction.

  • How long does it take to see results from the steroid injection treatment for scars?

    The results from steroid injection treatments for hypertrophic and keloid scars vary from person to person. Generally, you can expect to see a noticeable reduction in the size and appearance of the scar within a few weeks to a few months following the treatment. It's important to remember that patience and consistency are key, as multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results.

  • Are there any side effects or post-treatment care for steroid injections for scars?

    After a steroid injection treatment, patients may experience mild discomfort, redness, or swelling at the injection site. These symptoms typically subside within a few days. We advise patients to avoid strenuous activities and sun exposure following the procedure, and they may be advised to apply a topical antibiotic ointment. As with any medical procedure, it's important to follow the practitioner's instructions to ensure optimal results and maintain the health of your skin.
