only with the proper treatment.
if you do nothing about them, then you have to rely on your body's natural healing process. They may get a bit better, but likely the tissue will harden and stay that way.

Hi,
My name is LeiLani, I specialize in Facial and scar relaxation needling. I have helped many. I work closely with the VGH Burn and Trauma Unit and can flatten, smooth and give flexibility to the scarring. Then if needed I can tattoo skin color back in.
I'd love to chat I own the Cosmedic Corner in Langley

I have a hypertrophic scar on the tip of my nose. It's been there for a couple of years and looks like perpetual pimple. And it hasn't gotten better with time. It's just always THERE. Ughhh.

in my experience, no. i began breaking out seriously in jr high and thats when i developed hypertrophic scars i believe. i've had them for as long as i can remember on both sides of my jawline. (i'm 18 now) they're very bumpy, red, and have not digressed since my teenage years.
