Hypertrophic Scars vs Keloid Scars: How to Tell the Difference & What to Do About Them

Описание: 👩🏼‍⚕️Not all raised scars are the same. In this video, I explain the difference between hypertrophic scars and keloid scars—how they form, who’s most at risk, and how we try to prevent them after surgery.

I also go over the various treatment options available, from topical therapies to steroid injections, laser treatments, and surgical revision if needed.

Whether you’re planning surgery or just want to understand your own scar history better, this video will give you a clear breakdown of:
• What makes a scar hypertrophic vs keloid
• Risk factors like genetics, skin tone, and scar location
• How I reduce tension and manage scars surgically
• Treatment strategies if abnormal scars develop
