Why you might benefit from our scar improvement treatment in Cambridgeshire?
Scars can be a psychologically painful reminder of a previous incident, condition or accident. They can also make you feel self-conscious, with even scars able to be concealed with clothing or makeup resulting in lasting damage to your confidence. Thankfully, scars don’t have to be with you for life. Contrary to popular belief, there are several treatment options to explore, including topical remedies like gels and steroid injections; other non-surgical solutions such as laser treatment and cryotherapy; and surgical revision or refashioning.
Here at SKINSCAR Clinic, we’ve already supported countless individuals in their quest to remove or improve their scars, and we’re here to help you. But who exactly could benefit from the scar improvement treatments we deliver from our Cambridgeshire based clinic?

While often mentioned in the same breath as keloid scarring, hypertrophic scars don’t outgrow the size of the original wound. They can still be unsightly and cause cosmetic upset for the affected individual however. For people with hypertrophic scars, our scar improvement treatments provide hope and resolutions.
Treatments range from topical solutions to surgical excision and refashioning, and provide fantastic results. As with all our scar improvement services, treatments are based on a tailormade plan that suits the individual.
You’ve previously had chickenpox
Chickenpox is something of a rite of passage for children, and whether impacted by this contagious condition as a child, teen or adult, the risk of developing stubborn scars after infection is very real. Chickenpox scars can be improved just like any other scar type. Their dented appearance is able to be refashioned into a shorter, flatter, less visible scar in most cases.
To find out more about how our scar improvement treatments in Cambridgeshire could help you, get in touch with us today.

You suffer from keloids
While their cause is not yet fully understood, keloids affect a small proportion of people, with those of African, Asian or Hispanic descent particularly impacted. Keloids disrupt the way scar tissue forms, affecting its colour and texture to cause irregular scarring that is thick, raised, and doesn’t flatten or fade over time.
Instead keloids cause the formation of excessive tissue presenting scarring that’s much bigger and more pronounced than the original wound. People who suffer from keloids, and have keloid scars as a result of these formations, are excellent candidates for our scar improvement treatments in Cambridgeshire.

Stages of squamous cell carcinoma
As the second most common type of skin cancer, cases of this non-melanoma cancer are particularly widespread in the UK. More than 155,000 people get diagnosed with non-melanoma skin cancer every year, and squamous cell carcinoma accounts for around 23% of these cases.
Generally caused by too much exposure to UV light, squamous cell carcinoma alters the very DNA of skin cells. While most patients with squamous cell carcinoma are deemed low risk, this type of cancer can spread to other areas of the body (including the lymph nodes) if treatment is delayed.
Identifying the level of spread and a suitable prognosis is vital for all squamous cell carcinoma sufferers. As with many types of cancer, there are numerous stages of squamous cell carcinoma. Here we introduce the final stage…
Stage 4
The most serious stage, stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma has spread to one or more parts of the body. This could be distant organs (such as the brain, liver and lungs) or other tissues.
The survival rate for squamous cell carcinoma remains extremely high, yet the spread during stage 4 means it is likely that you’ll need more intensive treatment. The use of surgery and radiation are common amongst stage 4 patients.
For further advice and support with squamous cell carcinoma staging and treatment, please contact us today.

Stage 2
Stage 2 squamous cell carcinoma also presents deeper growth into the skin, with the lower layers and the nerves generally affected. This makes the cancer higher risk. While the tumour has grown deeper, the spread remains localised and has not reached nearby lymph nodes, tissues or other body parts.
Stage 3
At this stage, the squamous cell carcinoma will have made its way into nearby lymph nodes. This is however as far as the spread goes, with organs and other parts of the body untouched by the disease.

Stage 0
As the earliest stage, stage 0 squamous cell carcinoma is of the least concern. At this stage, squamous cell carcinoma only affects the outermost level of the skin or epidermis, which makes the lesions particularly low risk. Stage 0 squamous cell carcinoma is often treated topically as a result.
Stage 1
Stage 1 squamous cell carcinoma penetrates the skin more deeply. While it has not spread to other parts of the body yet, the risk of spread increases as the size of the tumour and its growth into the dermis progresses.

Lipomas may be extremely common, benign (non-cancerous) growths that are harmless and present minimal issues, but here at SKINSCAR Clinic, we see countless patients wanting to get these fatty deposits removed. A lipoma can after all look particularly unsightly, especially if it is large in size or located on a visible part of the body – they’re commonly found on the forehead, neck and shoulders for instance.
The removal of lipomas is generally straightforward, and as a result, the procedure is usually performed under local anaesthetic. How simple the removal process is however depends on which stage your lipoma is at. Read on to discover more about the three stages of lipomas.
Stage 3
If your lipoma has been diagnosed as stage 3, it is at its most advanced. While it can still be removed, greater care will need to be taken to extract every part of the affected tissue, which may be impacted by necrosis, calcification, cyst formation and reactive woven bone formation at this stage.

Stage 2
Stage 2 lipomas are made up of a mixture of viable fat cells and necrotic or calcified fat. This can complicate surgery. Their removal is possible however, with excision the surgical treatment of choice for most, and able to be completed under local anaesthetic.

Stage 1
This is the earliest stage of lipoma, with the tumour made up of what medical professionals call ‘viable’ lipocytes or fat cells. These are the simplest to remove, with the lipoma showing no signs of necrosis or calcification.
Necrosis is the term used to describe the death of body tissue, which can result following trauma, poor blood circulation or inflammation when it comes to fatty tissue. Calcification refers to the hardening of the tissue, which can disrupt your wider body’s natural processes. Both of these side effects make the surgical removal of the affected lipoma more complex.

Five stages of melanoma
Generally caused by exposure to too much UV light, melanoma can spread rapidly, changing a prognosis from good to bad if it isn’t spotted early and treated appropriately. This risk of spread is what makes melanoma such a serious and dangerous type of skin cancer.
After diagnosis, you’ll go through staging to identify if your melanoma has spread and to what extent. Take a look at the final stage of melanoma and what they could mean for those affected.
Stage 4
Stage 4 melanomas can be any size, and can also be either ulcerated or non-ulcerated. At this stage, the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, including distant areas of the skin and lymph nodes, lungs, other organs (such as the brain and liver) and the wider nervous system. Stage 4 melanoma is also referred to as metastatic melanoma.

Five stages of melanoma
Generally caused by exposure to too much UV light, melanoma can spread rapidly, changing a prognosis from good to bad if it isn’t spotted early and treated appropriately. This risk of spread is what makes melanoma such a serious and dangerous type of skin cancer.
After diagnosis, you’ll go through staging to identify if your melanoma has spread and to what extent. Take a look at stages 2 and 3 of melanoma and what they could mean for those affected.
Stage 2
Stage 2 tumours are defined as between 1mm and over 4mm thick, but may be thicker and either ulcerated or non-ulcerated. Again, stage 2 melanomas are categorised further as 2a, 2b or 2c depending on their size.
Stage 2 melanomas do not present signs of spread to nearby lymph nodes or other, more distant parts of the body.
Stage 3
Stage 3 melanomas are no longer defined by their thickness or the level of ulceration, but instead by their spread. At this stage, cancer cells have spread to nearby lymph nodes and may have even made their way into surrounding lymphatic channels. This is however as far as the spread goes at this stage, having not yet reached more distant parts of the body.

After diagnosis, you’ll go through staging to identify if your melanoma has spread and to what extent. Take a look at the first two stages of melanoma and what they could mean for those affected.
Stage 0
This is the earliest and least serious stage. Patients at stage 0 will have a melanoma that’s confined to the outermost skin layer – known as the ‘epidermis’ – with no sign of spread outside of this. As a result, stage 0 melanoma, or melanoma in situ, is very treatable and has a great prognosis.
Stage 1
In patients diagnosed with stage 1 melanoma, the lesion or tumour will be no more than 2mm thick. This thickness is further defined as stage 1a or stage 1b, with staging also differing depending on whether it is ulcerated or not.
As with stage 0, stage 1 melanomas have not yet spread to the lymph nodes or other parts of the body.

A solid skincare regime is of course essential to the preservation of skin health. Without the right skin care, your complexion won’t receive the nourishment it needs to stay in tip top condition. Taking care of your skin will also help to prevent the common skin problems that can hold skin health back, including acne, dryness, inflammation and uneven tone.

Skin care is important for so many reasons, and could even influence your mental, physical and emotional health.

While most individuals use trial and error to decipher a skincare routine that works for them, calling on an expert could save you a lot of time and hassle.

Preventing skin issues
It’s not just treatment that our consultant dermatologists can help with, our skin check service provides a lifeline for those looking to monitor overall skin health and detect more serious issues (like skin cancer) early. The early detection and treatment of skin cancer is after all important, with most types of skin cancer able to be fully cured if spotted quickly. Without early detection, cancerous lesions can spread with potentially life-threatening consequences.
