Scars are more than just marks on the skin; they are often visible reminders of past injuries, surgeries, or conditions like acne, sometimes causing physical discomfort and emotional distress. Whether your scar is raised, discolored, itchy, or depressed, it can impact your self-esteem and daily life.
At AdvanCell in Dhaka, we understand the desire for clearer, smoother skin. Our expert team of dermatologists and aesthetic specialists offers comprehensive and personalized Scar Treatment solutions, designed to improve the appearance, texture, and symptoms associated with various types of scars. We are dedicated to helping you achieve skin that reflects your inner confidence.
Scars form as a natural part of the healing process after skin damage. While some fade over time, many remain prominent and bothersome. You might benefit from specialized scar treatment if you have:
Acne Scars: Pitted (icepick, boxcar, rolling), depressed, or discolored marks left after acne breakouts.
Surgical Scars: Scars resulting from operations, which can be raised, wide, or discolored.
Injury Scars: Scars from cuts, burns, or accidents that affect skin texture and appearance.
Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, red, and itchy scars that stay within the boundaries of the original wound.
Keloid Scars: Raised, firm, and often itchy scars that extend beyond the original wound boundaries and can continue to grow.
Stretch Marks (Striae): Lines on the skin caused by rapid stretching (e.g., pregnancy, growth spurts, weight changes).
Discolored Scars: Scars that are significantly lighter (hypopigmented) or darker (hyperpigmented) than your surrounding skin.
Scars Causing Discomfort: Such as itching, pain, or tightness that restricts movement.
We aim to address both the aesthetic and symptomatic concerns related to your scars, helping to blend them more seamlessly with your surrounding skin.
A scar is the body's natural way of healing damaged skin. When the dermis (the deep, thick layer of skin) is injured, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the damage, often leading to a texture and appearance different from the surrounding skin.
Understanding the type of scar is crucial for effective treatment:
Flat, Pale Scars: The most common type, initially red and raised, but eventually flatten and fade.
Hypertrophic Scars: Raised, red, and often itchy scars that develop within the confines of the original wound. They are due to excessive collagen production.
Keloid Scars: More aggressive raised scars that grow beyond the original wound boundaries. They are typically firm, shiny, and can be itchy or painful. Common in genetically predisposed individuals or certain skin types.
Atrophic/Depressed Scars: Sunken or pitted scars that form when there's a loss of tissue, common after severe acne (e.g., ice pick, boxcar, rolling scars) or chickenpox.
Contracture Scars: Scars that pull the skin and underlying tissue together, often caused by burns. They can restrict movement.
Stretch Marks (Striae): Linear scars caused by rapid skin stretching, leading to tears in the dermis. They initially appear reddish/purplish and fade to silvery-white lines.
At AdvanCell, our approach to Scar Treatment is highly personalized and combines advanced dermatological and aesthetic techniques. We understand that each scar is unique, requiring a tailored treatment plan that considers its type, age, location, and your individual skin characteristics. Our goal is to significantly improve the scar's appearance, texture, and associated symptoms, leading to greater comfort and confidence.
We emphasize non-surgical and minimally invasive procedures that offer effective results with minimal downtime.
Our expert dermatologists and aesthetic specialists utilize a range of proven techniques and state-of-the-art technologies to effectively treat various types of scars:
Laser Resurfacing (Fractional CO2 Laser, Erbium YAG Laser): Highly effective for improving scar texture, depth, and discoloration. These lasers create microscopic zones of injury to stimulate new collagen production and resurface the skin, blending the scar with surrounding tissue. Excellent for acne scars, surgical scars, and texture irregularities.
Pulsed Dye Laser (PDL): Specifically targets blood vessels, making it ideal for reducing the redness and discoloration of new, red, hypertrophic, or keloid scars.
Chemical Peels: Medical-grade chemical solutions applied to exfoliate the top layers of skin, promoting cell turnover and improving the appearance of superficial scars, pigmentation, and overall skin texture.
Microneedling: Using fine needles to create controlled micro-injuries in the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. Highly effective for atrophic (pitted) scars, stretch marks, and overall skin rejuvenation.
PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) Therapy: Often combined with microneedling, PRP uses your body's own growth factors to accelerate healing and collagen remodeling, enhancing results for acne scars and overall skin texture.
Dermal Fillers: Injectable gels used to fill in depressed (atrophic) scars, particularly rolling acne scars, making them less noticeable and smoothing the skin's surface.
Subcision: A technique used for depressed or rolling acne scars where a needle is used to break fibrous bands beneath the skin, allowing the skin to lift and smooth out.
Steroid Injections (Intralesional Injections): Corticosteroids injected directly into hypertrophic and keloid scars to reduce inflammation, flatten the scar, and alleviate itching/pain.
Silicone Gel Sheets/Creams: Non-invasive options for flattening and softening hypertrophic and keloid scars, often recommended as part of a home care regimen.
Cryotherapy: Controlled freezing of the scar tissue, sometimes used for keloids to flatten them and reduce symptoms.
Topical & Oral Medications: Prescription creams or medications to manage inflammation, itching, or abnormal collagen production.
Improved Scar Appearance: Visibly reduce the prominence, discoloration, and texture irregularities of scars.
Smoother Skin Texture: Achieve a more even and refined skin surface.
Reduced Symptoms: Alleviate itching, pain, and tightness associated with certain scars.
