How can i treat old hypertrophic scars?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several options.: Dermatologist and plastic surgeons can both offer a number of approaches. An acupuncturist can do scar deactivation with or without electrical stimulation or scar injection (homeopathic solution - not steroids).
