During the healing process following surgery or an accident, it is not uncommon for certain anomalies to occur in the skin’s regeneration process.
The scar increases in volume (called “hypertrophic”) and takes on a pink or dark brown color, depending on the skin type (the darker the patient’s skin, the greater the risk of hypertrophic scarring). The scar is then hardened and fibrous.
Aesthetic medical treatments are available to reduce the appearance of these hypertrophic scars.
