Scar Types

• While all may look the same in appearance
  generically, the fact is there are different
  types of scars, and the different types call for
  different treatment methods.

Acne Scarring

• These type typically only results from severe
  acne cases. They can range in appearance from
  mild with a slightly angular and wavy looks, all
  the way to the deeper pit marks we despise so
  much.

Keloid Scarring

• This type of blur comes from an extended and
  tough time of healing. This time of it will
  usually be larger than the injury that caused it,
  and over time these types can be a hindrance to
  free movement. These are most often seen, or more
  noticeable, with individuals with darker
  pigmentation.

Hypertrophic Scarring

• These are red and inflamed or raised in
  appearance. They may resemble the Keloid tarnish
  somewhat, however they are not larger than the
  injury from which they resulted.

Contractual Scarring

• These are usually the result of a burn injury.
  These will tighten up during healing and can
  impede freedom of movement. These are able to go
  fairly deep thus affecting the nerves and muscles
