Lower Metal Element Levels in Hypertrophic Scars: A Potential Mechanism of Aberrant Cicatrix Hyperplasia

Hypertrophic scars and Keloids

The available treatment modalities for hypertrophic scars and keloids have very little success. Surgical treatment of these lesions without adjuvant therapy is also associated with high recurrence rate. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are the results of a series of cellular and molecular changes which their identification can guide us toward new treatment modalities which may decrease the ...

Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids

Hypertrophic and atrophic scars.

DisCussion Two recent reports by the US Department of Health and Human Services indicate recent trends in heroin use. The 2001 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse found that heroin incidence rates rose during the 1990s. There were 146,000 new heroin users in 2000 (1). Data from the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN) report estimated that heroin was involved in 162,137 emergency department vi...

Comparison of the therapeutic effect of microneedling with carbon dioxide laser in hypertrophic burn scars: a randomized clinical trial

Background: Microneedling is recently used to treat skin scars mostly atrophic scars; however, there are limited data about its effectiveness on hypertrophic burn scars. Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is an effective method for the treatment of burn scars. Here, we aim to compare the efficacy of microneedling to CO2 laser in the treatment of hypertrophic burn scars in a randomized clinical trial. M...
