Scars (Hypertrophic Scars)

What are Hypertrophic Scars?
Hypertrophic scars consist of fibrous tissue formed during the healing of a wound, enlarged due to the increased size of the cells composing it.

Where are Hypertrophic Scars Found?
Hypertrophic scars can be found anywhere on the body, within the boundaries of the original wound.

What Causes Hypertrophic Scars?
The cause of hypertrophic scars is not entirely known. However, when a wound begins to heal, new skin cells are produced as part of the healing process. Sometimes those cells are enlarged and begin to grow in all directions, elevated above the skin.

How Does The Laser Clinic Treat Hypertrophic Scars?
The Laser Clinic lasers feature innovative ultra-long pulse duration, the longest offered in a laser that treates scars. This means that each pulse delivers laser energy to the targeted scarred area over longer periods of time, resulting in a gentle heating effect and uniform results. By heating targeted skin cells more gently, The Laser Clinic avoids the downtime that bruising may cause (otherwise known as purpura).

What Kind of Results Can I Expect?
The Laser Clinic combines large laser spot sizes with the ability to vary laser pulse durations. This allows treatments to be quick, effective, and comfortable. Results may vary based on your individual situation. Please contact us for details.
