Keloids and scars can be difficult to manage, especially when they continue to change in size, color, or texture over time. These skin concerns often develop after injury, surgery, acne, or inflammation, and may extend beyond the original area of damage. For many individuals, the concern is not only how the skin looks, but also how it feels, including tightness, itching, or sensitivity.
At Natural Results Medical Aesthetics, care is focused on understanding how each scar or keloid has developed and how it responds to treatment. Early evaluation can help guide the right approach, including options such as scar revision and laser scar softening, to reduce the likelihood of further progression.
Keloids: Raised, thickened areas of scar tissue that grow beyond the original wound boundary
Hypertrophic Scars: Elevated scars that remain within the original injury site but may appear firm or discolored
Uneven Skin Texture: Areas that feel rough, bumpy, or irregular compared to surrounding skin
Discoloration: Scars that appear darker, redder, or lighter than the natural skin tone
Itching or Discomfort: Some scars and keloids may cause ongoing irritation or sensitivity
Limited Skin Flexibility: Tight or thickened scar tissue that may restrict natural movement in certain areas
Visible Skin Changes: Scars that remain noticeable and affect the overall skin appearance
Scars and keloids can evolve due to several factors. Understanding these can help determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Skin Healing Response: Some individuals naturally produce more collagen during healing, leading to raised or thickened scars
Injury Depth: Deeper wounds are more likely to result in noticeable scarring
Genetics: A family history of keloids can increase the likelihood of developing them
Inflammation: Ongoing irritation or repeated trauma to the area may worsen scar appearance
Skin Type: Certain skin types are more prone to pigmentation changes or keloid formation
Time: Scars may mature, fade, or become more prominent depending on how the tissue remodels
Laser resurfacing is used to improve the texture and appearance of scars by targeting uneven skin layers. The Alma Hybrid® CO2 laser combines ablative and non-ablative technology to support controlled skin renewal and surgical scar reduction .
Treatment plans are based on a detailed assessment of the scar type, location, and skin condition.
The Alma Hybrid® CO2 laser is designed to address both the surface and deeper layers of scar tissue. Combining different laser wavelengths helps refine skin texture while supporting collagen renewal beneath the surface. This approach allows for a more controlled treatment of keloids and scars, with adjustments made based on the thickness, size, and sensitivity of the area being treated.
This treatment may be recommended for raised scars, uneven texture, and areas with visible skin changes. The goal is to improve how the skin looks and feels while maintaining a natural appearance, sometimes as part of a broader scar revision plan.
Keloids are raised scars that extend beyond the original wound and may continue to grow over time.
Keloids grow outside the initial injury site, while most scars remain within the original area.
Some scars may fade over time, but others, especially keloids, may persist or become more noticeable.
This can be due to nerve involvement, inflammation, or the way collagen forms during healing.
Treatment is tailored based on the type of scar and skin condition to ensure appropriate care.
The goal is to improve the appearance and texture of the scar, not to fully remove it.
Keloids and scars can affect both the look and feel of your skin. Addressing them early and with the right method can help improve texture and reduce visible changes over time.
