1, the method of scar removal
Once a scar is created, it will not disappear. Several common scar treatment methods: scar excision and non-invasive suture; Repair the scar after normal skin expansion with soft tissue expander; Drug injection in scar; Scar grinding; Local spraying and coating can improve appearance and reduce scar hyperplasia. But one thing is certain, no treatment can completely eliminate scars. American scholars used scar antibody to study the immunotherapy of scar, and threatened to win the Nobel Prize, but three years later, this immunotherapy has not been applied to clinic, that is, it has not achieved the expected results. Visible scar treatment still has a long way to go.
(1) surgical skin grafting
Cut off qualified skin from other parts of the body and transplant it to the scar-removed part. This method is the most important, which can obviously improve the severe scar after transplantation, but it may leave scars on the peeled parts of the body. Most patients' own fat or dermis is used as filling material. Generally, the cost of skin grafting surgery is charged according to three area specifications: large, medium and small.
(2) Release and reshape scars.
This is after scar removal, the incision is changed to "Z" shape, which is most suitable for webbed scars. Reticular scar forms skin adhesion, which especially hinders behavior. By mobilizing the skin tissue next to the scar through surgery, the influence of the scar on the body function is minimized.
(3) Buried dilator
Two dilators (water bags made of silica gel film) are buried under the skin on both sides of the scar, and normal saline is injected regularly to make the skin bulge here and leave room for new skin growth. After the dilator is taken out, the extra skin can make up for the skin at the original scar. The method of burying the dilator works best on the head or face, because there are bones inside to resist the dilator and make it expand outward. This is a good way to treat scars, but it takes a long time and requires hospitalization for at least one month. Because it needs two operations: embedding and taking out, using dilator and hospitalization, its cost is also high. As far as dilators are concerned, 200ml-300ml ones usually cost several hundred yuan.
Many people will have some scars. If they want to get rid of their scars as soon as possible, people should find the right way for them. Don't try blindly to avoid any problems.
2. Precautions after scar removal
1. Prescribed diet
Don't eat irritating food, such as peppers, and don't smoke or drink.
You can eat more kelp and seaweed at ordinary times. These foods can improve scar constitution, soften scar connective tissue, deliver nutrition and moisturize skin.
make up
Do not use cosmetics containing lead, mercury, silver and other heavy metal elements and photosensitive substances to avoid skin pigmentation. The skin care during the scar removal period should also be based on simple hydration.
Protect yourself from the sun.
Sunscreen is the most important job during scar removal. Because the newborn's skin is immature, it is difficult to resist ultraviolet rays in the sun and it is easy to form pigmentation. Therefore, we must do a good job in sun protection at ordinary times, especially during the scar removal period.
It is suggested that beauty seekers take double measures when they go out during scar removal. On the one hand, you should wear an umbrella or a sun hat, and at the same time, you should apply sunscreen and replenish it in time.
