How to remove this scar?

What are the methods to remove scars? There are many treatments and procedures available to remove scars, here are some options. 1) Skin scrubbing method: Apply coolant to the affected area to numb the skin and fix the surface, and then polish it with a rotatable stainless steel wheel set with small industrial diamonds. The protruding edges of the scar can be polished, and the base can also be polished so that the center area is increased and the surface of the repaired skin is flattened. Scrubbing can turn a deep box into a flat valley. If the scar is severe, it may last from 6 months to 1 year. Advice: Avoid sunlight. After using the skin scrub method, problems such as skin darkening may occur after being exposed to the sun. Collagen is a protein that restores skin health. When injecting, physicians often use highly refined bovine collagen and add lidocaine, an anesthetic that can seduce the treatment area. To see if collagen injections can help remove acne scars, place a finger on one side of the scar and stretch the skin. If the scar disappears, you may be a candidate for this treatment. The treatment steps are very simple: your doctor will create the dermal layer from the second layer of the skin. Because your body "dissolves" collagen, you may need another round of treatment in 3 to 9 months, depending on where the injections are made. Tested because one person had an allergic reaction to collagen. Likewise, collagen injections are not completely safe for pregnant or breastfeeding women. 2) Fat injection: Deep scars caused by fat loss can be healed by fat injection. Sometimes called lipoinjections. In this treatment, fat is surgically removed from another part of the body, rinsed, and injected into the scar to cause the fat to grow in the scar. The healing effects usually last 6 to 12 months. 3) Chemical peeling method: Mild or superficial peeling only gently removes the top layer of skin cells and treats it with trichloroacetic acid or alpha hydroxy acid. For very severe acne, doctors use a phenol peel, which usually involves a cosmetic surgeon administering general anesthesia. For general scars, you can ask your doctor to perform trichloroacetic acid peeling. These peels are very effective in healing pit-like scars. 4) Puncture excision method: This treatment method is very effective for narrow and deep "ice pick" shaped scars. The doctor uses a round, corrugated cutter-like chisel to cut out the scar and then sews the edges together. 5) Laser skin abrasion: This treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser to polish the skin. Unlike dermabrasion, laser dermabrasion is a relatively non-bleeding method of skin polishing. However, like skin peeling, laser treatment also has its disadvantages. If used improperly, it will produce new scars or uneven stains.
