What are scars?
Scars form when the skin repairs itself after an injury, such as a cut, burn, surgery, or acne. During the healing process, the body produces collagen to repair the damaged skin, which can lead to thickening, discoloration, or an irregular skin texture. Although scars are usually harmless, they can be cosmetically disruptive and affect self-confidence. At Cryon in Breda, we offer professional treatments to fade scars and improve skin texture, for smooth and even skin.
Types of scars
Scars vary depending on the cause and the healing process. The most common types are:
-
Atrophic scars: Sunken, thin scars, often caused by acne or chickenpox, which leave a pitted mark on the skin.
-
Hypertrophic scars: Raised, red scars that remain within the boundaries of the original wound.
-
Keloids: Bumpy, thickened scars that grow beyond the wound boundaries and often itch or are sensitive.
-
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation: Dark spots that appear after skin damage, especially in darker skin tones.
At Cryon, we analyze the type of scar to choose the most suitable treatment.
Why do scars form?
Scars are the result of the skin's natural healing process, but certain factors influence their appearance:
-
Type of injury: Deep wounds, such as from surgery, or inflammation, such as from acne, often lead to more visible scars.
-
Skin type: Darker skin types are more prone to hyperpigmentation or keloids.
-
Healing: Improper wound care, such as picking at scabs, can worsen scars.
-
Age and genetics: Younger skin heals faster but can produce more collagen, while genetic predisposition influences scar formation.
At Cryon, we understand how scars can affect your self-confidence and offer solutions to minimize them.
