What You Need to Know About Scars?

Scarring is a natural part of the healing process after injury. The scar’s appearance and its treatment depend on multiple factors, including the depth and size of the wound, its location and the age, sex, ethnicity and genetics of the patient. These are the several different types of scars, including:

  • Keloid scars- resulting from overly aggressive healing process, these scars extend beyond the site of the original injury. They may hamper movement. They are most common with people with dark skin.
  • Contracture scars- These scars formed on burned skin. As they tighten, they can impair movement. Scarring also goes deeper, affecting muscles and nerves.

Treatment of Choice

  • Intracel

    Intracel is an innovative, skin resurfacing technology that delivers heat energy below the surface of the skin. Traditional resurfacing lasers work by burning the surface of the skin, which means downtime and discomfort. Intracel Fractional Radio Frequency (RF) microneedles directs the RF energy just below the skin providing a comfortable, efficient treatment with minimal downtime, without causing any harm to the epidermis.
