Have been wondering how you can remove scars from surgery, trauma, burns or tribal markings?
If you have, this blog post will teach you 8 things that you can do for effective scar treatment. From dermatological procedures to prescription medications and skincare products, we have covered the best for you.
Scar Causes
Scars form after the skin is damaged and the body’s healing process results in deposition of collagen that is arranged differently from normal tissue. This occurs regardless of whether the skin has been injured by surgery, trauma, burns or tribal markings.
Symptoms of scars include lesions on the skin that had been injured that are sunken, flat or raised.
There are 5 types of scars – normotrophic scars which are flat, atrophic scars which are sunken, hypertrophic scars which are raised, keloid scars which extend beyond the margins of the original injury, and contractures which have skin tightening that can restrict movement.

How to Remove Scars:
Get Microneedling with PRP Done
Microneedling is a procedure in which a device with micro-needles is used to create micro-injuries in the skin. This process stimulates the body’s healing process.
Studies have shown that microneedling improves the appearance of surgical scars by increasing collagen remodeling and reducing scar tissue density. Microneedling has also been proven to be effective for treating burn scars since it improves the skin’s texture and elasticity.
We offer microneedling with PRP for scars caused by surgery, trauma, burns and tribal markings in our Nairobi Almasi Skincare Clinic which is located in Fortis Suites, Hospital road, 8th floor, room 809. We see new clients on Saturdays at 10am and Wednesdays at 2pm.

How to Remove Scars:
Get Laser Therapy
Laser resurfacing uses light beams to stimulate collagen production and soften the scar tissue. Ablative lasers also remove the top layers of the skin which improves the scar’s appearance.
