Scars are the outcome of the skin’s repair process after trauma, surgery, burns or severe acne. They may be thin and barely visible, or raised, red, tight or depressed, depending on location, cause and the patient’s skin type.
A scar can be hypertrophic or keloid (thick, raised, sometimes itchy), atrophic (sunken, as in many acne scars) or contracture-like, when it restricts movement around joints or skin folds. Each scar has its own history, and this influences how it looks and how it should be treated.
Treatment options
At MAVIT, after a careful morphological assessment, the treatment plan may include topical therapies (silicone, specific creams, sun protection), injections or microinjections for hypertrophic and keloid scars, fractional lasers and microneedling to improve atrophic and post-surgical scars, and in selected cases combined protocols with radiofrequency or targeted peels.
The aim is not to erase the scar completely, but to make it less visible, softer and better blended with the surrounding skin, while reducing possible symptoms such as tightness, itching or pain.
