SCARS

---

Description/ what it is

The formation of scars occurs due to the natural skin response following skin damage. The type of scar that develops will depend on multiple factors: the cause of the skin lesion; the depth and type of the wound, its location; genetic predisposition; local infection or inflammation; and other variables. Scars are broadly categorized in two types: hypertrophic scars and atrophic scars. 

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are thick raised scars. They are an abnormal response to wound healing in which extra connective tissue forms within the original wound area. Those scars typically demonstrate abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts and excessive collagen production in response to a series of skin lesions.

Atrophic scars are characterized by dermal depressions that develop as a result of the destruction of collagen-induced by skin inflammation. This type of scar commonly occurs in inflammatory diseases, such as acne vulgaris or chicken pox, but can also be the result of surgery or trauma. 

Among all, acne scars are the most common and annoying type of scars, and they are not at all accepted by patients, especially by young people.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is not a real scar, but rather a discoloration that occurs peripherally to the wound.

Stretch marks, or striae distensa, form deep within the dermis. When the skin undergoes a period of rapid stretching, stress causes damage to the skin's connective tissues. Initially, they appear red and are in a reversible phase, and if treated in time, they can be adequately removed. Over time we will have tissue loss in the subdermal from inelastic fibrotic tissue.

Treatments

Evoskin proposes, for the treatment of scars, several advanced technologies that can be used individually or synergistically with each other, including SLP Nd:Yag, Q-switch, CPL, and Erbium Fractional. These procedures are all minimally invasive and with a short recovery time.

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can be treated with fewer sessions and less aggressive lasers, such as CPL, or Mandelic acid-based peel, to obtain a regeneration of skin pigmentation.

To reduce the evidence of stretch marks, the best treatments are those combining the reduction of the scars with a regenerative therapy aimed at reproducing new connective tissue rich in collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid. The fractional Erbium laser generates a safe and controlled ablation of the most superficial layer of the skin with the formation of new skin cells and, at the same time, stimulate the formation of new collagen and elastin tissue.

The LYPO-GOLD method allows to obtain an optimal regenerative response, by implanting adult mesenchymal cells that will turn into fibroblasts, even in areas where they were no longer present due to scarring fibrosis.
