Skin, hair and connective tissue
Scarring
Scars differ: raised hypertrophic scars, keloids and depressed acne scars need different approaches. Early wound care differs from treating an old scar.
Potential benefits explored
Improved scar appearance and tissue flexibility.
GHK-Cu and thymosin beta-4 are explored through repair/remodelling biology. A mature scar and a fresh healing wound are different targets.
Practical interpretation
Use scar-type-specific care; silicone-based approaches and procedural options may be relevant. Protect healing skin from excessive tension and sun.
Meaningful outcomes: Scar appearance, flexibility, discomfort and movement.
