I have two hypertrophic scars that I would like to have removed or faded.

The one on my wrist is about ten years old and is semi-hard to the touch; it is semi-hard to the touch and very discolored. The one on my knee is about five months old; it’s still very soft, but it seems to be getting worse. I’ve been using silicone gelpads on it with minimal success.

I understand that hypertrophic scars are very difficult to successfully remove, but I would like for them to be less discolored or flatter.

– What kind of procedures are available to treat these kinds of wounds?

– How long would they take to heal?

– How much would this cost?

– What clinics specialize in these kinds of scars?
