Scar Removal

According to medical studies, scarring is a normal bodily system that helps in the healing process of a person’s injury. When you are injured, your body tissues are damaged. This is where your collagen supply works its wonders, collagen help rebuild and heal the damaged tissues to strengthen and reinvigorate the skin tissues. Thus, scars form and develop.

The different types of scars vary in their formation. Most are raised while others are depressed and some are skin discolourations.

Here are some of the most common types of scars:

Acne Scarring

This is the result of untreated or neglected acne outbursts. The most common type of acne scarring is atrophic scars characterized by shallow depressions. Although some acne scarring is manifested by hypertrophic scars. Another kind of acne scarring is macular scars or those that are flat hyperpigmented scars.

Surgical Scars

These are scars formed as a result of prior surgery. In most cases, they form keloid in the incision site. Keloid scars are hypertrophic scarring manifested by raised skin tissue that accumulated too much collagen.

Contracture Scars

This type of scar is the result of s burnt skin. When you are injured by burning, a tightened appearance on the skin is manifested, this is a contracture scar. In some cases, this type of scar can affect not just the inner layers of the skin but also other body structures like the muscles and nerves.

There are many ways to treat a scar. However, treatment varies on the type of scar you have. In some cases, surgeons prescribe anti-scarring creams to prevent a scar from forming or at least minimize the keloid from manifesting.

If you have an open wound, make sure to clean and dress it according to your doctor’s instructions. Apply the prescribed mediation to your wounds to minimize the infection which may lead to scarring.

Here are some scar removal treatments that you may want to consider:

Laser Scar Treatment

Laser treatment is one of the most effective scar reduction procedures that are ideal for most hypertrophic or raised scars. These non-surgical laser techniques use light to directly target the affected skin surface without damaging the surrounding area. Lasers can be CO2 fractional laser or Er: YAG laser technology.

Subcision Treatment

Generally, subcision is most ideal for depressed acne scars. The procedure involves the use of specialized hypodermic needles. The skin needling disrupts the scar tissue to release the anchorage of the depression to the deep layers of the skin. When the anchorage is release, the acne scars are also released. Thus, reducing the manifestation of atrophic scarring in the treated area.

Microneedling

Microneedling is a minimally invasive resurfacing technique that helps patients achieve a smooth and scar-free skin complexion. This scar removal procedure is most ideal for depressed scars. The resurfacing action skin needling releases the deep hold of the depressions in the inner layers of the skin tissues.

Microdermabrasion

These non-surgical techniques are a minimally abrasive procedure that effective for keloid, acne and surgical scars. It uses microcrystal beads that effectively works with the superficial layers of the skin. However, this treatment should not be performed on fresh wounds and skin with trauma as it may cause infection or may worsen the skin condition.

Plastic surgery is an effective technique in removing scars, especially old, large, and severe types of keloid. However, normal healing time may be longer than non-surgical techniques. In some cases, surgery may lead to a newer scar coupled with trauma.

During your consultation, your doctor will process the evaluation of your skin and scar. He or she will determine the composition of your scar and consider other factors such as your medical history, your preferred treatment, your expected results, your skin’s laxity, and the severity of the scar.

After a comprehensive evaluation and diagnosis, your doctor will determine and recommend the best treatment for your scars. Whether they are surgical scars or keloid scars, your doctor will help you minimize if not eliminate them.

While laser treatments are the best choice for treating a keloid, acne or surgical scar, it will depend on the results of your evaluation and diagnosis during consultation. Just like any other aesthetic enhancement treatment, there is no definite scar removal technique that will work for everyone.

The number of treatments varies on the severity of the scar, your skin laxity and the type of treatment. There are treatments that require a number of sessions to ensure that the scar is fully treated.
