What causes scarring? 

Scars are part of your body’s natural healing and wound repairing process, as they occur when the dermis is damaged. The dermis is the deep, thick layer of skin below the epidermis, or surface layer of skin. When the dermis is damaged, your body produces an influx of new collagen fibers to repair the damage. Collagen fibers are a naturally occurring protein in your body essential to wound healing and the structural integrity of every connective tissue in your body, including your skin, hair, bones, muscle, and other soft tissues.

The influx of collagen fibers and blood supply to the wound results in a scar. Ideally, the collagen eventually breaks down after the scar forms and the blood supply is reduced, resulting in smoother and softer skin at the scar site. However, visible or raised scars that remain long after the wound are typically a result of your body producing more collagen than is needed to repair the damage, which is often the case with severe wounds.

While many cosmetic treatments work by increasing collagen production through controlled injuries to the skin, the injuries are so slight and managed that no scarring remains after such procedures.

How do you heal old scars? 

The older a scar is, the more challenging it can be to remove it. However, there are numerous effective treatments and home remedies to employ that can help with the healing of old scars. With that in mind, when attempting to heal old scars, it is important to know the type of scar you have, as this can influence the effectiveness of treatments and home remedies.

In addition to the treatments listed above, our aesthetic providers at Golden Health & Beauty Center can also inform you of the best home remedies to improve the appearance of old scars when you come to our clinic for scar removal treatment. Some possible home remedy options could include topical creams and exfoliants, silicone sheets, and proper sun protection to avoid worsening scar appearance.

What are the different types of scars?

The different types of scars are categorized by symptoms, appearance, and causal injuries, including the following:

• Fine-line scars: these scars have a raised line that gradually softens and flattens over time
• Hypertrophic scars: raised, red scars that result from excess collagen produced at the wound site
• Keloid scars: result from an excessively aggressive healing process with too much collagen produced, causing the scar to extend beyond the boundary of the wound
• Pitted or sunken scars: also known as acne scars, these scars have a pitted or sunken appearance at the site of the scar
• Scar contractures: these types of scars typically occur due to burns on the skin and tighten or shrink the skin in the wound area, which can restrict movement
