After the skin slowly adapts, it can be increased to 12 hours. It takes 6 months to achieve good results. As for the mechanism of action of silicone sheets, Quinn believes that it is the chemical effect of sustained release of silicone oil, while Swada and Son believe that the physiological effects of hydration and occlusion cause the scar-inhibiting effect.

The second category: laser
Based on the principle of laser scar removal, it can be divided into two types: o One kind of microdermabrasion laser is divided into carbon dioxide laser and erbium Jacobs (Er-YAG) laser, which can remove scars. This principle can also be used to smooth out raised and superficial sunken scars. o Depigmentation laser: It is divided into dye (Dye) laser and pulsed intense light (photoderm). The laser acts on the blood vessels and hemoglobin in the scar, making the scar lighten and gradually shrink. This type of laser is especially suitable for scars that have not exceeded the age of 10 years. Half a year old and darker in color.

Category 4: Laser Treatment

Medical technology new medical technology. There are many types of lasers used in the medical field, but currently there are not many lasers that can be used to treat scars. It mainly uses the unique technologies of burning, vaporizing, cutting, solidifying and defocused irradiation of the laser itself, and directly changes the output power of the laser or adjusts the focused laser beam to treat different scars with different characteristics. . Laser scar treatment method is suitable for flat scars without obvious dysfunction, scattered and uneven depressed scars of varying sizes and unevenness left after the healing of smallpox, chickenpox, and acne, as well as bridge-shaped and redundant scars. It can also be used to treat hypertrophic scars. and keloid scars. Laser treatment of scars, if used properly, is generally not dangerous.
