Keloid Scarring Keloids result from abnormal wound healing due to fibroblasts producing excessive amounts of collagen, making collagen fibres thickened. This is not related to the severity of the wound. Keloid scars are more common in ages 10 to 20 years old and more frequently in females, black, Asian, Polynesian skins. However, keloids can develop in all races, age groups, male or female and may have a genetic factor. The worst areas for scarring are over bony areas, joints, shoulders, earlobes with the sternum being the worst.   Hypertrophic and keloid scars both manifest as pink, red, purple, itchy, painful, raised, ugly scars and usually remain in that condition for years if untreated. The difference between hypertrophic and keloid scarring is that hypertrophic scars follow the incision line whereas a keloid infiltrates into surrounding ‘normal’ tissue. Keloid Scar Formation     One must try to promote balanced collagen production, particularly in the initial inflammatory phase of wound healing. Reduce swelling and inflammation to a minimum, which one can with RégimA Scar Repair. If a scar is over 3 months old and is hypertrophic or beginning to keloid one should start peeling with natural AHAs. One may peel every 2 weeks starting with 20% building up the percentage depending on tolerance. The body can obviously tolerate higher concentrations than the face and the concentration of treatments would be decided by the skin care professional following assessment and initial trial to ascertain client response.
