Hypertrophic/Keloid – An Overview

Hypertrophic and keloid scars are thick, raised scars that form when the skin produces too much collagen during the healing process. While hypertrophic scars stay within the boundary of the original wound, keloids grow beyond it, creating larger, more noticeable marks. They can develop after acne, surgery, cuts, or injuries, and may cause itching, discomfort, or cosmetic concerns. Though harmless, these scars can affect confidence and self-image. With advanced dermatological treatments, their appearance can be improved, restoring smoother skin and greater comfort.

 

How Hypertrophic/Keloid Removal Works?

Treating hypertrophic and keloid scars involves reducing excess tissue growth and flattening the scar. Options include steroid injections, laser therapy, cryotherapy, silicone gels, or minor surgical procedures, depending on severity. Multiple sessions may be required for best results. At Derma Redefined, Dr. Sampurna offers safe, customized scar-removal treatments designed to minimize thickness, improve texture, and restore confidence. With expert care, even stubborn raised scars can be effectively managed, leaving the skin smoother, more comfortable, and healthier in appearance over time.

Understanding the Hypertrophic/Keloid Removal

Hypertrophic and keloid scars often form after acne, surgery, or wounds heal, when the skin produces extra collagen. This natural process sometimes goes overboard, leaving raised, noticeable scars. Living with them can feel frustrating or affect your confidence, but please remember—you are not alone, and it’s not your fault. Many people develop these scars, and they are treatable with today’s advanced dermatological solutions. With the right care, their appearance can be reduced, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your own skin.
