Causes And Types Of Scars

The skin is one of our most important organs, protecting our bodies from the harsh external environment. Any damage to the skin – burns, surgical incisions, or cuts and abrasions – can result in unattractive scarring. If scars are small enough to be unnoticeable, or if they are normally hidden by clothing, then they do not matter very much; but scars that are highly visible can detract from one's self image and may become a source of concern. We can show you how to remove scars and once again enjoy clear, smooth skin.


Scars form as part of the natural healing process of the skin, as the damaged tissue reforms itself. The appearance of scars depends on their location, the type of injury that caused them, your age, and even your heredity. Scars can form as the result of burning, moderate to severe acne, accidental injuries such as abrasions or cuts, and surgery.

There are several different types of scars:
* Keloid scars extend beyond the area of the original injury and may cause stiffness and loss of mobility;
* Contracture scars are the result of burning, where the skin becomes overly tightened and may affect mobility, as well;
* Hypertrophic scars are raised in the same manner as keloids, but they do not extend beyond the location of the original injury;
* Acne scars result from damaged follicles due to severe acne blemishes.

Scar treatments range from over-the-counter or prescription creams to injected steroids to surgical removal, depending on the type of scarring and the severity. Your dermatologist can recommend the best type of treatment for your scars. Keep in mind that, while there are hundreds of over-the-counter products that claim to reduce the appearance of scarring, these often do little to live up to their promises. Surgical removal can be painful and costly, and taking steroids to even out the skin tone and reduce scarring can have unwanted side effects.
