WHAT IS SCARRING?

A scar appears when the skin is injured beneath the first layer of skin. The body reacts by creating tissue that is thicker than the undamaged skin, which is known as scar tissue. Scars mostly consist of the protein collagen. At MOD Dermatology, we understand that scarring can be a concern for many. Our skilled team works to effectively treat damaged skin, promoting healthy tissue repair. We use advanced techniques to minimize scar tissue and ensure your skin looks and feels its best. 

THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SCARS

Scars come in different types, each with unique features:

  • Keloid Scars: These scars grow beyond the original injury site, often looking raised, thick, and red or darker in color. They may be itchy or painful and can keep growing over time.
  • Hypertrophic Scars: Similar to keloid scars, except hypertrophic scars remain within the area of the original wound. They are raised, red, and can itch or hurt.
  • Contracture Scars: These scars form after a burn and cause the skin to tighten, which might limit movement. They can also affect deeper tissues and muscles.
  • Atrophic Scars: These scars are sunken or indented and usually come from acne or chickenpox. Injuries that lead to a loss of underlying tissue can also cause this type of scar. Our West Omaha microneedling services are effective in treating atrophic scars.
  • Stretch Marks: Essentially a type of scar, stretch marks happen when skin stretches quickly, like during pregnancy or weight gain. They often show up as red or purple lines that fade to white or silver over time.
  • Acne Scars: These scars can be sunken (atrophic), raised (hypertrophic), or keloid. Their appearance varies and may require various treatment methods. Chemical peels at our West Omaha clinic are used to treat acne scars.

COMMON SCAR MISCONCEPTIONS

1. ALL SCARS FADE OVER TIME.

Some scars do fade. However, we treat keloids and hypertrophic scars that don’t fade naturally. Our specialized care helps reduce this type of scar.

2. OVER-THE-COUNTER SCAR CREAMS WORK JUST AS WELL AS PRESCRIBED MEDICATION.

At MOD Dermatology, we offer specialized care for severe or complex scar concerns that over-the-counter options can't address. Our tailored treatments, including microneedling and chemical peels, optimize results based on your unique scar type and skin condition. Choose us for expert scar treatment services in West Omaha.

3. TANNING WILL HELP REDUCE THE APPEARANCE OF SCARS.

Tanning might seem like a quick fix for scars, but it's counterproductive. Scar tissue is delicate and reacts differently to sunlight, leading to uneven darkening and making scars more noticeable.
