The atrophic scar can be referred to as an indented scar that heals below the upper-most layer of skin tissue. These types of scars develop when the skin is unable to repair the tissue. As a result, it leads to uneven scarring. Some of the common types of atrophic are chickenpox or severe acne scars. These kinds of scars are difficult to treat and need multiple procedures which are required to be repeated over a period of time. Chemical peels and injectables are some of the treatments for atrophic scars. There is increasing popularity for chemical peels treatment, which involves applying chemicals to the skin's surface, the damaged layer of the skin is removed during the peeling process. Therefore, such factors will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
Hypertrophic scars are mainly formed within the site of injury and may regress over time whereas keloids spread beyond the borders of the initial injury and do not regress. Both of these scars are formed by the injury to the skin that goes deep enough to affect the dermal layer. Some of the main causes of these scars include burns, surgery, insect bites, tattoos, acne or chickenpox, and piercings. The main treatments for hypertrophic and keloid scars are medication, injections, lasers, and surgery. Hence, such factors are expected to fuel the growth of this segment which in turn will drive the market growth during the forecast period.
