A Comprehensive Guide to Scar Treatment

Scars are a natural part of the body’s healing process, but many people want to reduce their visibility for aesthetic reasons. Regardless of the cause – surgery, injury, acne or disease – modern medicine offers a range of treatments to alleviate scars. Lohuis Filipović Medical Group stands out with innovative approaches and state-of-the-art technologies that enable effective scar treatment.

How do scars form?

Scarring occurs when the body replaces normal skin tissue with connective tissue in response to injury. Because the body reacts differently to injuries, scars can vary in appearance and structure:

• Hypertrophic scars: Elevated, red scars that remain within the boundaries of the injured area.
• Atrophic scars: Concave scars that are often associated with acne or chickenpox.
• Keloid scars: Excessive growth of connective tissue that goes beyond the boundaries of the initial injury.

Understanding the type of scar is key to choosing the best treatment.

Laser Treatments for Scars

Laser treatments are the most popular and effective method for reducing the visibility of scars. At the Lohuis Filipović Medical Group Polyclinic, the latest technologies are used to improve skin texture and reduce the visibility of scars.

The main methods of laser treatment:

1. Fractional Laser

   • It has a targeted effect on damaged tissue without affecting the surrounding skin.
   • It stimulates collagen production, improving the appearance of scars.
2. Laser resurfacing

• • Removes the upper layers of damaged skin.
  • It promotes regeneration, making scars less visible.

These methods offer minimal recovery and remarkable results in alleviating scars of all kinds.

Additional treatments to improve the appearance of scars

In addition to laser treatments, additional procedures are also available to improve the appearance of scars. The combination of these methods often gives the best results.

Microdermabrasion

• Removes the surface layers of the skin.
• It helps restore skin texture and reduce the appearance of scars.

Chemical peel

• It uses chemical solutions to remove the upper layers of the skin.
• It stimulates the regeneration of new, healthy tissue.

These methods work effectively on superficial and shallow scars, especially when combined with laser treatments.

Individualized treatment plan

At the Lohuis Filipović Medical Group Polyclinic, each patient receives an individualized treatment plan based on:

• Types of scars: Hypertrophic, atrophic or keloid.
• Skin type: Adaptation of treatment for optimal results.
• Desired goals: A combination of treatments to achieve long-lasting results.
