Answer: Treating hypertrophic scars on the knee This appears to a traumatic scar and it generally responds well to PRP treatments with microneedling in order to rebuild the tissue, and i combination with laser treatments to improve the color. A special dressing should applied to the area in order to avoid color changes and other complications. You will likely need 2-3 treatments.

Answer: Scar on knees Scars continue to mature and improve over a year. You can continue treating your scar with various methods. Topical options include silicone-based strips or gels. Most importantly, keep them out of the sun. Overtime, your scar should continue to improve on its own. For young,old, or deeper scars that have plateaued in their improvement, microneedling with or without PRP, fractionated laser, and radiofrequency make microscopic holes in the scar to stimulate your body to remodel and fill in the scar with new collagen. I especially like a combination of a chemical peel for the hyperpigmentation and acne control, microneedling with PRP for texture and collagen building, and PIXEL fractionated laser or RF to resurface and build even more collagen. For large or more severe irregularities, a scar revision or re-excision may swap out your old scar for a less noticeable one in a single procedure. Not everyone is a candidate for all the treatment options however as certain skin types can get worse from certain treatments. For the safest treatment plan, it is important to visit an expert for an in-person examination. Hope this helps!
