As the skin recovers from damage or inflammation, scars can appear. Sometimes these scars can be cosmetically distracting. Also important to the experience is how scars were created. A memory of falling off the scooter as a toddler is likely to evoke much less emotion than a scar inflicted at the hands of violence. <\/p>\n\n

New scars<\/h2>\n\n

Before treating scars, it is important to determine how old a scar is. Not only in the literal sense, but also in the biological sense. A fresh scar is generally more active, redder, thicker and more sensitive than an old scar and both require a different approach .
New scars, after a wound is closed, can become thicker and more active than what is necessary for the healing process. These scars are called hypertrophic and are characterized by being larger than the wound itself. They are often red, thick and sensitive or itchy.
Treatment of hypertrophic scars may involve using special patches or injecting botulinum toxin(Botox<\/a>) and\/or corticosteroids (Kenacort). <\/p>\n\n

Old scars<\/h2>\n\n

On average, it takes a year before a scar can be called “mature” or “old. An old scar is usually lighter in color than the surrounding skin and relatively flat and smooth.
Treatment of old scars may involve surgically correcting or using fillers<\/a> to strengthen scars that lack strength in relation to the surrounding skin. <\/p>\n\n

Informational consultation and research<\/h2>\n\n

To get an estimate of your options and expected results, you are welcome for a free, no-obligation exploratory consultation. The doctor will discuss with you the different treatments as far as they are applicable in your situation. If another treatment, possibly in combination, such as surgery, peeling or laser treatment is recommended, this will also be discussed. In that case you will be referred to a plastic surgeon or skin therapist. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
