Ways Of Treating A Hypertrophic Scar

Surgical Intervention

Surgical intervention is a treatment option for hypertrophic scars that are over one year old and have not responded to other treatments. A surgeon slices out the affected tissue and sews the skin back together with stitches. If the treatment is successful, the new wound will heal more cleanly and replace the hypertrophic scar with a less noticeable mark on the skin. Of course, precautions need to be taken to make sure the new wound does not get infected. Infection or improper wound care could lead to the hypertrophic scar simply reappearing. Researching to find a skilled and experienced surgeon is a must before patients undergo this procedure.
