Skin is a big seamless organ, and it protects our precious network of nerves, muscle, bones, and critical organs. A small tear, stretch, or burn injury can forever shape and change this very important protective "mesh." There are situations where scarring is intentional, and the effects are just as serious and just as permanent.
Understanding Self-Harm Scars
Intentional self-harm is a way that some individuals cope with emotional pain, anger, or frustration. The resulting scars can serve as a constant reminder of difficult times. Treatment options exist to help reduce their appearance.
Treatment Options
Cosmetic Micropigmentation
Also known as scar camouflage, this technique uses pigments matched to your skin tone to blend scars into surrounding tissue, making them less visible.
Laser Treatment
Laser treatments can help improve the texture and color of scars by stimulating collagen production and breaking down scar tissue.
Microneedling
Creates controlled micro-injuries that stimulate the body's natural healing response, promoting new collagen and elastin production to improve scar appearance.
Topical Treatments
Silicone-based products, vitamin E, and other topical treatments can help flatten and soften scars over time when used consistently.
