Topical scarring, no matter what the cause may be, can be an unfortunate fact of life. Here at HVME, we offer a number of non-surgical solutions that can significantly reduce the presence of visible scarring.
What Causes Scarring?
Scarring occurs as part of your body's natural healing process after the skin has been damaged. When the deeper layers of the skin (the dermis) are injured, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the wound, resulting in a scar. Several factors influence how a scar forms, including the depth and size of the wound, its location, your age, genetics, and even skin type.
Scars can take various forms—raised (hypertrophic or keloid scars), indented (atrophic scars like those from acne), or flat and discolored. Understanding the type of scarring you're experiencing is crucial in selecting the most effective treatment to reduce its appearance and improve your skin's texture.
