It depends on how many years of scars you have and what your constitution is.

If you only use ginger or vitamin E mentioned upstairs for a few months, maybe the effective premise is persistence.

But if there are a few years or even more than 10 years, those things will have no effect.

At this time, only high-tech means are used, one is to use high-tech medical products, and the other is to go to beauty salons.

The former includes Langton Lavender and 080 Scar Removing Cream recommended by Big S, both of which are famous. You can try.

The latter's current technologies include laser scar removal, collagen injection and skin grafting. The following is for your reference:

The first one:

1. Skin rubbing method: apply a cooling agent to the affected area to numb the skin and fix its surface, and then polish it with a rotatable stainless steel wheel inlaid with fine industrial diamonds. The edge of the scar can be polished, and the bottom can also be polished to enlarge the central part and flatten the surface of the repaired skin. Scraping can turn a deep box into a flat valley.

If the scar is serious, continue to pay interest tax for 6 months to 1 year. Suggestion: avoid the sun. After using the skin rubbing method, the skin turns black after sun exposure. Collagen is a kind of protein that can restore skin health. When injecting, doctors usually use highly refined bovine collagen and add lidocaine to it, which is a intoxicating agent that can poison the treatment site.

In order to confirm whether collagen injection can help to eliminate the scar left by acne, put your finger on one side of the scar and pull the skin. If the scar disappears, you are probably suitable for this treatment.

The treatment step is very simple: your doctor will produce it from the second layer of the skin-the dermis. Because the human body "dissolves" collagen, depending on the injection site, you may need another round of treatment within 3 to 9 months. Because a person has an allergic reaction to collagen. Similarly, collagen injection is not safe for pregnant or lactating women. Fat injection: Deep scars caused by fat loss can be cured by fat injection. Sometimes it's called fat injection In this treatment, fat is obtained from another part of the body through surgery, washed and injected into the scar to increase the fat of the scar. This healing effect usually lasts for 6 to 12 months.

2. Chemical peeling method: mild or shallow peeling-only gently removing the superficial skin cells-treated with trichloroacetic acid or α -hydroxy acid. For severe acne, doctors use phenol peeling, which usually requires general anesthesia by cosmetic surgeons. For common scars, doctors can peel them off with trichloroacetic acid. These peels are very effective in treating pit scars.

3. Punching and chiseling: This treatment is very effective for producing narrow and deep "broken ice cone" scars. The doctor cut the scar with a round integrated chisel and then stitched the edges together.

4. Laser skin scraping method: This treatment method is to polish the skin with carbon dioxide laser. Different from scraping, laser scraping is a relatively bloodless skin polishing method. However, like skin scraping, laser therapy also has its disadvantages-if it is not used properly, it will produce new scars or uneven spots.

The second one:

Facial scar will seriously affect people's appearance, so many people ask for facial scar cosmetic surgery.

Most facial scars are caused by burns and trauma, and a few people are iatrogenic scars (that is, scars left after some facial operations). From the perspective of cosmetic surgery, facial scars are often divided into the following categories: the first is functional facial scars, such as ectropion of eyelids, mouth askew, and small mouth deformity. The second is a large area scar that hinders facial beauty, although there is no dysfunction. Some are hyperplastic, and most of them are flat, such as map scars. This kind of scar mainly affects the face, but it does not hinder the function of the five senses much; The third category belongs to facial small scars, that is, small scars on a certain part of facial skin caused by trauma, infection, burns or other reasons. Such small scars often have no obvious effect on function and face shape, but some patients have a strong desire for plastic surgery.

What are the commonly used treatments for facial scars?

1. Simple excision and suture method

Simple excision and suture method is suitable for the third kind of small and medium-sized facial scars. After the skin scar is removed, carefully suture the wound with a small needle and thin thread, preferably along the dermatoglyphics, leaving only a thin scar line after operation. Sometimes for people with a slightly larger area and nervous skin, scar resection can also be used by stages. However, the first and second operations are usually more than half a year apart.

2. Facial scar excision plus skin grafting

It is impossible to suture a large area of scar directly after scar removal, because there is not much normal skin on the face of such patients. At this time, a whole piece of skin can be repaired in a natural shape according to the natural shape of the face (forehead, upper and lower eyelids, nose, upper and lower lips, lower jaw), and several parts of skin can be planted according to the amount of scar resection. Another method is suitable for patients with facial scar covering the whole face, that is, removing the whole facial scar at one time; Transplanting a whole skin can avoid the scar formation at the junction of skin grafting in different areas, and the postoperative appearance is better than that of skin grafting in different areas. It is best to use full-thickness skin graft or skin graft with subdermal vascular network, because the facial color will not be too dark after free transplantation and the cosmetic effect will be better.

3. Repair the scar with skin flap.

Because the flap contains more subcutaneous adipose tissue, it can not only be used to repair the skin defect after facial scar resection, but also protect the deep tissue. Skin flap transplantation is also a common method to repair scars near some facial organs. Such as alar defect, eyelid ectropion deformity and squab deformity. All of them need cosmetic plastic surgery based on skin flap transplantation. After transplantation, the color of the flap is close to the facial skin, and it can also be used to repair some facial tissue depression defects. In addition, skin flap has better blood supply and higher survival rate than free skin graft, so it is also a common method in facial scar plastic surgery.

4. Non-surgical treatment of facial scar

For some hypertrophic scars that do not affect facial function, sometimes surgery is not needed, because even after resection, it is very easy to relapse and produce new hypertrophic scars. In order to soften and flatten the scar, the following methods can be used for cosmetic treatment.

(1) Compression therapy People gradually apply compression therapy to scar hyperplasia after burns, and the effect is positive. After facial scar excision, the surgical incision needs to be pressurized for 6 months to 1 year. This can effectively prevent scar hyperplasia.

(2) Drug therapy practice has proved that injecting hormone suspensions such as prednisolone acetate and triamcinolone acetonide acetate into the hyperplastic part of facial scar can flatten the hyperplastic scar and restore its color to or near the normal complexion of the face. But sometimes it takes several injections to achieve the desired effect.

(3) Radiotherapy For small-area hypertrophic scars on the face or hypertrophic scars after skin grafting, shallow X-ray radiotherapy should be performed, and generally 4-6 times can achieve good results.
