Scars treatment in Ciudad de México

A scar is the mark the skin leaves when repairing a wound, surgery, burn, or inflammatory outbreak such as acne. It is part of the natural healing process, although its final appearance varies greatly from one person to another.

Common types: some remain flat and discreet, while others become raised (hypertrophic or keloid), sunken, or with color changes compared to the surrounding skin.

When is it advisable to evaluate them? If a scar hurts, itches, grows, limits movement, or causes cosmetic discomfort, a review helps you learn the available alternatives.

Who treats them? The dermatologist and the plastic surgeon are the reference professionals for evaluating scars; in certain cases the angiologist or the general surgeon are also involved. The most advisable thing is to discuss your questions in a consultation before deciding on any procedure.
