SCARS

Skin is a seamless organ, like a fine cloth protecting valuable assets. Imagine a piece of silk. Just one small tear can make a big difference in how it looks. And it's the same with skin. Any burn, injury, or other trauma, such as surgery, can cause a scar. 

​

Now a scar isn't bad if it's small or in a location that's easy to conceal. But when it's not, you may wonder if there's a way to treat it, other than hiding it under your clothes, that will make it go away or at least change how it looks. 

​

The truth is the scar will never completely go away. But there are some methods that can help reduce its size and change its appearance. 

HOW DOES SCARRING HAPPEN?

Scarring is a natural part of the healing process after an injury. Its appearance and its treatment depend on multiple factors. 

The depth and size of the wound or cut and the location of the injury matter. So do your age, genes, sex, and ethnicity. 

Types of Scars

▪️Hypertrophic scars are usually thick and raised and stay within the boundaries of the original skin defect. Their colors range from light skin tones to red. The scar raises due to excessive amounts of collagen during the healing process. 
 
▪️Keloid scars are thick, rounded and irregular clusters of scar tissue that grow beyond the original wound borders. They often appear red or darker in color. Like hypertrophic scars, keloid scars are formed from excessive amounts of collagen. 

​

▪️Atrophic scars are indented scars that heal below the normal layer of skin tissue. These form when the skin is unable to regenerate tissue. This is common in acne scarring. 
 
▪️Contracture scars happen when a large area of skin is damaged and lost. The edges of the skin pull together, causing a tight area of skin. The decrease in the size of the skin can then affect the muscles, joints, and tendons, causing a decrease in movement. These are common in burn injuries 

ACNE SCARS

Acne scarring is the most common type of scarring on your face. Commonly they appear as ice pick, boxed or rolling scars. They vary in terms of shapes and sizes.

The biggest misconception in scar treatment is that one type of treatment is suitable for all scars. This is wrong especially as far as facial scars are concerned. Facial/ acne scars are commonly mixed scars and different treatment are required for each different type of scars. There is no “one size fits all” treatment for these scars. Acne scar treatments often require multiple types of treatment with multiple revisions to achieve the best result.

WHAT IS MD:FN?

MD:FN is a part of Ava's Signature Scar Program which consists of a multistep technique to improve scar appearance. If you have tried other treatments such as lasers, and yet have not achieved a satisfactory visible improvement to your scars, then, MD:FN may be the answer for you. Most of our clients see good visible improvement from the very first session. We're sure you would too! 

MD:FN is a resurfacing treatment that targets the skin at different depths. Epidermal stimulation is targetted at a depth of 0.5mm - 0.75mm.

The epidermal-dermal junction where the basement membrane and skin stem cells are mainly found are then activated to promote better skin turnover and regeneration.  Lastly, dermal collagen remodelling is triggered at depth of 1.5mm to 3.0mm depending on individual skin thickness and severity of the scars.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

Lee SY, 26

I use to cringe looking at my scars. When I started working, it was much easier for colleagues who looked  beautiful to get their work approved by the superiors.  When my scars improved, so did my worklife. I feel more confident and my work just seemed to improve. Everything was much smoother. 

Ronnie W, 28

In college, it was difficult having breakouts and acne scars. There was this girl that I really liked but  when  we  became closer as friends, she kept making fun of my scars. That was what prompted me to want to treat my scars. I tried laser treatment  at a big multibranch centre but it did not  improve much. After doing just 3 sessions of MD:FN with Dr. Shenee, I am really satisfied with the improvements. 

Michelle T, 42

Who would have thought that the scars that have stayed with me all this years  would have improved so much.  I never expected much as I have tried many other treatments  but after a consultation with Dr. Irfan, I am convinced and indeed, after the first treatment, I could see so much improvement.  Thanks, Ava Clinic!
