Scars are not just marks on your skin; they are reminders of the stories our bodies tell, whether from accidents, surgeries, or skin conditions like acne. While scars often carry a personal story, they can also affect your self-esteem and comfort. At Dr. Dipali Malvankar’s clinic, we offer professional scar treatment options to help minimize these marks and enhance your skin’s natural beauty.
Understanding Scars
A scar forms as part of the natural healing process following an injury. Its appearance and treatment depend on multiple factors, including the depth and size of the wound, your age, and even your genetic predisposition.
There are several types of scars, including:
Keloid Scars: Thick, puckered, itchy clusters of scar tissue that grow beyond the edges of the wound or incision. They are often red or darker in color than the surrounding skin.
Hypertrophic Scars: Raised red scars that are similar to keloids but do not breach the boundaries of the injury site.
Atrophic Scars: Create a sunken or pitted appearance in the skin, commonly associated with acne or chickenpox.
Contracture Scars: Result from burns. These scars may tighten skin, which can impair your ability to move and can go deeper, affecting muscles and nerves.
Our Scar Treatment Techniques
Dr. Dipali Malvankar uses the latest advances in dermatological treatment to offer you the best care possible:
Laser Scar Treatment: Helps reduce the appearance of scars by removing the outer layer of skin and penetrating the skin’s surface to stimulate the production of new skin cells.
Microneedling: Involves pricking the scar with tiny sterilized needles to promote collagen production, which can help heal the scar and make it less visible.
Chemical Peels: Removes layers of skin to help reduce the depth of depressions and improve skin texture.
Injection Treatments: For certain types of scars, especially keloids and hypertrophic scars, steroid injections or other types of fillers may be used to reduce scar size and pain.
