About Scar Management Treatment
Scar Management includes customized clinical options combining lasers, silicone sheeting, and intralesional corticosteroid injections to flatten raised scars and minimize discoloration.
Key Benefits:
- Flattens raised keloids and hypertrophic scars
- Relieves pain or itching associated with scars
- Restores skin pliability
Scars are a consequence of uncontrolled synthesis and deposition of dermal collagen during wound healing. A key factor in this is TGF-B (Transforming Growth Factor Beta); when overproduced, it triggers excessive deposition of thick scar tissue. To prevent this, early clinical wound care is vital to facilitate rapid epithelialization.
Multi-Modality Management Plan
We deploy a comprehensive range of clinical and conservative methods to flatten raised hypertrophic scars and keloids:
- Silicone Gel Sheeting: Silicon is applied daily once the wound has epithelialized, maintained for at least 1 month to hydrate tissues and soften the scar.
- Intralesional Corticosteroids: Steroid micro-injections are administered at 4 to 6-week intervals. They inhibit collagen synthesis and carry anti-inflammatory properties, utilizing controlled dermal atrophy to flatten raised keloids.
- Cryo-Freezing: Freezing the scar tissue prior to steroid injections to increase the effectiveness of the treatment.
- Fractional Laser Remodeling: Both CO2 and Erbium glass lasers are used across multiple sessions to remodel the scar tissue in a controlled manner, restoring skin pliability.
