Scars on the skin

Skin scarring is a natural part of the body's healing process, resulting from an injury, surgery, or skin condition. While scars are a testament to the body's resilience, they can sometimes affect one's confidence and self-esteem. At Verve Medical Aesthetics, we understand the impact of scars on your well-being and offer personalised treatment options to help you achieve smoother, more radiant skin.

Signs of scarring

Scars can manifest in various forms, depending on factors such as the type of injury and individual healing process. Common signs of scarring include:

Discolouration: Scars may appear lighter or darker than the surrounding skin, leading to uneven pigmentation.
Texture Irregularities: Raised (hypertrophic) or depressed (atrophic) areas of skin can develop, altering the skin's texture.
Thickness: Some scars may feel thicker or more pronounced, particularly in keloid scars, which extend beyond the original wound site.
Itchiness or Sensitivity: Scars can be accompanied by itching, tenderness, or sensitivity, especially during the healing phase.

causes of scarring

Scarring occurs when the deeper layers of the skin, such as the dermis, are damaged. Common causes of scarring include:

Accidental Injuries: Cuts, burns, and abrasions can result in scarring if not properly treated.
Surgical Incisions: Surgeries, including cosmetic procedures, can leave behind scars as the skin heals.
Acne: Severe acne lesions can lead to the formation of depressed scars, such as ice pick or boxcar scars.
Inflammatory Skin Conditions: Conditions like eczema, psoriasis, and dermatitis may cause scarring due to prolonged inflammation and tissue damage.

Types of scars

Scars can vary in appearance and severity, with different types requiring specific treatment approaches:

Hypertrophic Scars: These scars appear raised and may become red or itchy. They typically remain within the boundaries of the original wound.
Atrophic Scars: Characterised by depressions or indentations in the skin, atrophic scars include types like ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars commonly associated with acne.
Keloid Scars: Keloids are thick, raised scars that extend beyond the original wound area. They can be itchy, painful, and may continue to grow over time.
Contracture Scars: Often resulting from burns, contracture scars cause tightening of the skin, potentially restricting movement and flexibility.
