Keloid & Hypertrophic Scar Treatment in Pune
Laser treatment for raised, thick and excessive scars at Arra Aesthetics
Keloids and hypertrophic scars are raised scars that can develop after skin injuries. They may become thick, firm, itchy, painful or noticeable on the skin.
At Arra Aesthetics, keloid and hypertrophic scars are treated with RecoSMA laser technology from LINLINE. The treatment is planned according to the size, location and characteristics of the scar.
What Are Keloids and Hypertrophic Scars?
Scar tissue forms naturally when the skin heals after an injury. In some people, the body produces excess scar tissue, resulting in a raised or thick scar.
A keloid is a raised scar that can continue growing beyond the boundaries of the original wound. Keloids are often thick, wide and firm. They commonly occur on areas such as the earlobes, cheeks, shoulders and chest.
A hypertrophic scar is also raised and thick, but it usually remains within the area of the original wound.
Both types of scars can affect the appearance of the skin. They may also cause itching, tenderness, irritation or pain.
