1. Early intervention: In the early stage of scar formation (usually within 1-2 months after injury), anti-scar drugs are used for treatment. These drugs can inhibit the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts and slow down the formation of scars. Common anti-scar drugs are scar enema (silica gel preparation) and Kangruibao (corticosteroid hormone).
2. Pressure therapy: Pressing with elastic clothes or scar patches can reduce the blood flow in the scar area, thus inhibiting the growth of scars. Elastic clothing should be worn continuously every day, and the scar patch should be replaced every week.
3. Laser therapy: For hypertrophic scars, laser therapy can destroy scar tissue through heat energy and stimulate collagen remodeling, thus improving the appearance of scars. Laser therapy usually requires multiple treatments to achieve the desired results.
4. Surgical excision: For very serious hypertrophic scars, surgical excision is an effective treatment. After surgical resection, skin transplantation or skin flap transplantation is usually needed to avoid depression or deformation of scar area.
5. Adjust living habits: maintain good living habits, avoid excessive exposure of the skin to the sun, and avoid scratching and rubbing the scar area to reduce the possibility of scar deterioration.
During the treatment, please follow the doctor's advice and make regular follow-up visits to ensure the best treatment effect.
