Keloids and hypertrophic scars result from abnormal wound healing processes where excess collagen production creates raised, sometimes painful tissue extending beyond the original wound. These challenging skin conditions often respond poorly to over-the-counter treatments. Our compounding pharmacists can create customized formulations with precise combinations of ingredients that target multiple aspects of scar formation and remodelling.
We can compound specialized preparations that simultaneously address inflammation, collagen production, and tissue remodelling at concentrations tailored to your specific scar type and location. For patients who have experienced disappointing results with standard treatments, we can formulate medications with enhanced penetration capabilities to reach deeper tissue layers where scar formation occurs.
Here is how we can help:
- Custom-strength combinations of corticosteroids with silicone and other scar-modifying agents
- Specialized formulations incorporating collagen inhibitors like fluorouracil or bleomycin
- Novel delivery systems for improved penetration into thickened scar tissue
- Non-irritating bases suitable for sensitive skin or facial applications
- Targeted treatments for specific scar types, including post-surgical, acne, or burn scars
For patients with keloids resistant to standard treatments, we can create multi-modal compounds that combine anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and remodelling agents in a single application. Our pharmacists can also develop preparations designed explicitly for challenging locations like the earlobe, chest, or joints where keloids commonly form.
When conventional products haven’t improved, our prescribing pharmacists can help, or work collaboratively with your dermatologist, plastic surgeon, physician or nurse practitioner to develop innovative approaches that may include peptides, enzymatic agents, or specialized growth factor modulators that influence the scar remodelling process.
