Does Dermaroller Work on Hypertrophic Scars
Hypertonic scar appears as a pink or purple bump of raised tissue scar that is often formed around a pierced hole. Although, hypertonic scars can occur without a piercing, they are frequently noticed around a pierced cartilage on nostrils or ears.
Hypertonic scars are quite itchy and cause skin peeling around the lump region. These tend to stay close to the wound and are quite solid to touch. Also, these scars are prone to bleeding when disturbed or knocked.
Hypertonic Scars vs. Keloid Scars
Hypertonic scars are often mistaken as keloid scars. While hypertonic scars occur within 4 – 8 weeks after infection, grows up to 6 months and soon starts regressing, keloid scars on the other hand are permanent and do not disappear naturally.
Derma Roller – Natural Hypertonic Scar Treatment
Derma rolling is one of the best treatments for eliminating hypertonic scars. The best thing about this treatment is that it does not cause any type of skin damage, which is quite reassuring if you are concerned that a derma roller may worsen your skin scarring.
The treatment involves the use of a roller that contains hundreds of micro-needles attached to it. This roller is moved up and down across the scar tissue to open the damaged pores of the skin.
Maximum absorption is guaranteed during this time to boost the healing process. This is specifically useful if you have been prescribed any anti-scarring cream as this will enhance its effectiveness.
Your skin will soon begin with its natural repair and rejuvenation process. Regular derma rolling sessions will eventually lead to fading away of the hypertonic scar.
