background: results of various studies suggest that the hypertrophic and keloid scars are highly prevalent in the general population and are irritating both physically and mentally. objective: considering the variety of existing therapies, intense pulsed light (ipl) method along with corticosteroid injection was evaluated in treating these scars. materials and methods: 86 subjects were included...

A hypertrophic scar is the result of abnormal repair of the body after trauma. Histopathologically, it is mostly the result of the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and the accumulation of extracellular matrix. Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that long non‑coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have a critical role in the regulation of gene expression and in the pathogenesis of diseases. However, th...

Hypertrophic scars and keloids are fibroproliferative disorders that may arise after any deep cutaneous injury caused by trauma, burns, surgery, etc. Hypertrophic scars and keloids are cosmetically problematic, and in combination with functional problems such as contractures and subjective symptoms including pruritus, these significantly affect patients' quality of life. There have been many st...

Hypertrophic scars and keloids resulting from surgery, burns, trauma and infection can be associated with substantial physical and psychological distress. Various non-invasive and invasive options are currently available for the prevention and treatment of these scars. Recently, an international multidisciplinary group of 24 experts on scar management (dermatologists; plastic and reconstructive...

Keloids and hypertrophic scars are different expressions of the same derailment of wound healing; their biological behaviors and appearances are quite different. The clinical differences between hypertrophic scars and keloids have long been recognized. However, distinguishing between the two types of scars on histology is sometimes difficult as the ‘keloid collagen’, the hallmark of keloid, is ...

BACKGROUND Previous reports on the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids have not described clear algorithms for multimodal therapies. This article presents an evidence-based review of previous articles and proposes algorithms for the treatment and prevention of hypertrophic scars and keloids. METHODS The methodologic quality of the clinical trials was evaluated, and the baseline charac...
