Scars You Want to Hide

Hello, this is Forena Clinic. 😊

�

“Why does a keloid

keep becoming more noticeable?”

�

Even with consistent care and trying ointments or various methods,

the redness and raised appearance of a scar

often do not easily subside.

�

The reason is that

a keloid is not just a simple scar,

but a result of excessive collagen production

during the skin regeneration process,

with multiple factors involved.

�

Today, Forena

will share the key basic care methods

for managing noticeable keloids

more stably.✨

If a wound easily becomes raised and stays for a long time?

Have you ever worried because

a small wound or surgical mark

gradually became more prominent over time,

and the scar did not go away?

�

If so,

it may be due to a ‘keloid’.

This image is an AI-generated image created to help with understanding.

A keloid is

a scar that forms during the wound-healing process

when the skin produces excessive collagen,

causing it to protrude more than the surrounding skin

even after the wound has healed.

Keloids, causes

1️⃣ Genetic factors

If there is a family history of keloids

2️⃣ Skin type and pigmentation

If the skin is relatively darker or more sensitive

3️⃣ Wound location and trauma

Areas with a lot of movement, such as the chest, shoulders, and back

Wounds subjected to repeated friction or irritation

4️⃣ Poor wound care

Lack of early care, infection, excessive irritation, and more

Keloids, management methods

Keloid wounds have a higher chance of recurrence than ordinary scars,

so the key is to combine

‘procedures + lifestyle care.’

[[ Lifestyle care ]]

1️⃣ UV protection☀️

Prevents pigmentation and worsening of scars

Use sunscreen with SPF when going out

2️⃣ Minimize irritation ⚡️

Do not scratch, press, or rub

Be especially careful of friction from clothing or underwear

3️⃣ Actively care for wounds early🩹

Do not leave even small wounds untreated

If you have a keloid-prone tendency, start care immediately in the early stage

4️⃣ Keep moisturized💧

Dryness can make scars feel harder

[[ Procedure care ]]

1️⃣ Steroid injections💉

Suppress excessive proliferation of scar tissue

Usually repeated at 3- to 4-week intervals

2️⃣ Laser treatment

Reduces redness + stabilizes tissue

Commonly combined with vascular lasers / regenerative lasers

3️⃣ Pressure therapy

Suppresses excessive growth by applying pressure to the scar area

Effective for specific areas such as the ears and chest

4️⃣ Silicone gel/sheets

Helps retain moisture in the scar and soften it

Consistent use is important
