Scars on your skin are unwanted trouble that can become stubborn if not treated promptly and correctly. Now that your skin has been dealing with these rigid marks, which have been a barrier to your confidence, it’s time to visit Arha. At our dermatological care clinic, Dr. Ruben Bhasin Passi, our founder, offers multiple skincare treatments, including CO₂ laser resurfacing, for transformative, long-lasting skin clarity.
What are the Different Types of Scars?
Scars are the surrounding regions of the fibrous tissue that form after the skin repairs itself from a surgical injury, acne, or burns. Scars differ from each other based on their color, depth, and texture, and also their healing procedure.
Understanding the types of scars ensures accurate and effective treatment.
Atrophic Scars
These scars result mainly from tissue loss, usually due to severe acne or chickenpox. They create an uneven texture on your skin that requires CO2 laser treatment to stimulate collagen.
Hypertrophic Scars
These are raised scars caused by excessive collagen production. They are not similar to keloids, as they remain within the boundaries of the injury. It requires a laser corticosteroid injection to cure hypertrophic scars.
Keloid Scar
These scars are also raised, but unlike hypertrophic scars, they extend beyond the injury site and appear thick, lumpy, and hard, forming nodular masses. They do not flatten over time; hence, for these scars, multimodal treatments are applied, such as laser injections.
Contracture Scars
This results from burns, and due to these scars, the skin becomes excessively tight, restricting basic movement, especially if it occurs around a joint. Laser treatments improve flexibility and provide adequate resurfacing.
Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation
If your skin’s surface becomes inflamed and discolored due to acne or another reaction, it can result in dark spots. They are not regular scars, but they need to be treated like them. Chemical peeling, brightening clinical formulations, and targeted laser treatment are effective.
Causes and Risk Factors of Scars
Scars on your skin are typically caused by injury, surgery, inflammation, or acne, each with a distinct texture and depth. It also occurs because of insufficient collagen production in your skin during healing. Some of the significant risk factors include:
- Severe burn
- Infections
- Delayed injury care
- Genetical conditions
- Hypopigmentation
- Hormonal imbalance
Our Advanced Scar Solutions That Work
At Arha, Dr. Ruben Bhasin Passi offers evidence-based treatment for repair that reduces pigmentation, smoothens uneven texture and stimulates collagen.
CO₂ Laser Scar Rejuvenation
To deliver accurate resurfacing of skin for the improvement of deep acne scars, surgical incisions, burns, and uneven texture, we conduct CO2 laser scar rejuvenation treatment. This ablative laser treatment has especially been proven to be a miracle for atrophic scars.
Microneedling and PRP Therapy
Microchannels created by microneedling help in repairing skin, whereas platelet-rich plasma therapy improves the skin healing process as a whole. The combined effect of these two treatments helps improve the irregularities in skin texture that are left by keloid scars.
Chemical Peels and Skin Resurfacing
With clinical formula-induced chemical peels, Dr. Ruben exfoliates damaged skin cells and reduces pigmentation by refining superficial scars. Based on your skin type, she develops customized peels to improve cell development and illuminate skin tone.
Fillers and Injectable Treatments
Dr. Ruben Bhasin Passi uses hyaluronic fillers to treat suppressed atrophic scars and restore smoothness to your skin’s surface. Further, she pairs it with injectables, like Botox or lasers, for enhanced collagen development and improved skin contouring.
Stretch Mark Treatments
Stretch marks do not usually fall under the first group of scars, but they come from various surgical incisions. Due to this, Dr. Passi uses microneedling, CO2 laser scar rejuvenation, and PRP to improve elastin and collagen production, enhancing your skin texture and stretch mark appearance.
How to Maintain Scar Care Results?
If you follow the guided routine of our aesthetic physician, Dr. Ruben Bhasin Passi, it will surely prevent your scars from darkening further and also maintain scar care results for the long term.
Avoid Harsh or Exfoliating Products
Avoiding harsh products is convenient for moderate-to-severe scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation. Active exfoliators contribute to preventing healing, leading to irritation.
Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle
You need to maintain a nutritionally-balanced diet, along with adequate sleep and hydration, because they help improve collagen production and accelerate skin healing.
Avoid Addictive Substances
Restricting consumption of addictive substances like cigarettes and alcohol can help limit inflammation and support rapid skin recovery.
