1. Method 1. External use of drugs. Almost everyone with scars is looking forward to a magical ointment that can remove scars and make them disappear without a trace. Scar ointment can be divided into ordinary moisturizing ointment, anti-inflammatory ointment containing steroids, moisturizing and softening ointment containing silica gel, and melanin-removing ointment used to dilute pigmentation. Scar is the normal connective tissue of wound healing, so it will inevitably form and exist in any wound. External ointment applied to scar can only slightly moisten and soften connective tissue and dilute pigment, thus improving and beautifying the appearance of scar, but it can't really "remove scar".
2. Method 2: Laser treatment. Laser is suitable for superficial depression and hypertrophic scar. When the laser acts on the skin, only the scar on the skin surface is affected by the laser, and other tissues are not affected. These parts that are not affected by laser will accumulate more collagen and elastin, which is helpful to the regeneration and rearrangement of collagen in dermis. In addition, after laser irradiation, it will produce photothermal effect, photochemical effect, pressure effect, electromagnetic field effect and biological stimulation effect on skin tissue, so that the damaged and necrotic tissue at the skin scar can be quickly pyrolyzed, gasified or broken into tiny fragments, which will be excreted after being swallowed by phagocytes in the body, thus achieving the purpose of calming the scar.
3. Method 3: Operation. For severe superficial or hyperplastic scars, plastic surgeons will choose cutting, suturing or skin grafting to improve and correct the scars. Cutting method is suitable for small concave-convex scars, such as chicken pox scars, ice cone pockmarks, too thick or sunken scars. The method of operation is to remove the scar first, then peel off the skin and subcutaneous tissue, reduce the tension of the wound, and then sew it carefully to make it a beautiful and young linear scar. However, patients with mild or less severe scars should try not to choose surgery, which is not only dangerous, but also prone to new scars.
