Oct 13, 2023 | Blog

Welcome to our in-depth guide on dealing with Hypertrophic Scars by Dr Anju Methil at Skin Vibes Clinic. If you or someone you know is grappling with these raised, red scars, you’re in the right place. Dr. Anju Methil, a renowned expert in the field, is here to share her expertise and help you on your journey to smoother, scar-free skin.

Let’s delve into everything you need to know about Hypertrophic Scars, from what they are to the best treatment options available.

Understanding Hypertrophic Scars

Hypertrophic scars are a type of raised scar that often appear after trauma or surgery. They are characterized by their raised, thick, and red appearance. Unlike keloid scars, which can extend beyond the original wound, hypertrophic scars stay within the boundaries of the injury. They can be itchy, painful, and aesthetically concerning.

Dr. Anju Methil’s Expert Insights

Dr. Anju Methil, Skin Vibes Clinic’s leading expert, emphasizes that understanding the causes of hypertrophic scars is crucial for effective management. These scars result from an overproduction of collagen during the healing process. Genetic factors, skin tension, and injury severity can influence their development.

The Impact on Patients

Hypertrophic scars can have a profound impact on an individual’s life. Beyond the physical discomfort, they can affect self-esteem and confidence. Patients often seek treatment not only to alleviate physical symptoms but also to regain a sense of normalcy.

Effective Treatment Options for Hypertrophic Acne Scars

Dr. Anju Methil and her team at Skin Vibes Clinic offer a range of advanced treatments for hypertrophic scars. These options include

  • Steroid Injections: Administered by experts, steroid injections can help reduce inflammation and flatten the scars.
  • Silicone Gel Sheets: Silicone sheets are applied to the scar site, helping to flatten and soften the scar tissue.
  • Laser Therapy: Cutting-edge laser technology can significantly improve the appearance and texture of hypertrophic scars
  • Surgical Revision: In some cases, surgical revision may be necessary to remove the scar tissue and create a more aesthetically pleasing result.
