Nowadays, the love of beauty has become the basic demand of people's life, and the word medical beauty is no longer strange. This edition specially introduces a new column, inviting authoritative experts to show you the most credible methods and technologies of medical beauty.
In life, trauma, surgery, burns and scalds may leave large or small scars on our bodies. Scar not only affects the appearance, but also sometimes "unruly", accompanied by itching, even festering and malignant transformation, which seriously affects life. These pathological scars need to be prevented in advance and repaired as soon as possible.
At present, the treatment of scar is still a difficult problem in the world, and the existing methods can only make the scar fade to the greatest extent, but not completely. The following three stages are very important for scar formation and repair.
The first stage: debridement and repair immediately after injury (operation). Cold therapy burns (including thermal injury and chemical injury) should be cooled immediately to minimize the wound deepening. When the injury is serious, go to the hospital for treatment in time, and don't easily choose the ancestral secret recipe. Non-burns (cuts, bruises, etc.). To go to the hospital for debridement in time, good healing is the premise of reducing scars. If possible, it is best to go to the plastic surgery department for debridement and repair to minimize the scar.

The second stage: within six months after operation. In order not to affect the function, in principle, traumatic treatment of scars should not be carried out within six months after injury (surgery). At this time, the weapon to deal with scars is to apply drugs (silica gel, long-acting hormones, etc. ), physical therapy (compression therapy) and laser therapy. Among them, dot matrix technology is a milestone breakthrough in laser technology and an important progress in scar treatment. This method advances the opportunity of active scar treatment (research found that it is best to start treatment within 1 month after suture removal, or even on the day of suture removal), which is no longer limited to half a year after injury, and more importantly, greatly improves the curative effect. The lattice action mode can decompose the damage into parts and recover quickly, which greatly reduces the risk of scar, pigmentation or discoloration in traditional treatment methods.
The third stage: six months after injury (surgery). 1. surgery. If there are indications for surgery, try to operate, such as scar contracture affecting joint function and causing ectropion of eyelids. There are also many surgical methods, such as simple resection and plastic surgery, skin flap, skin grafting and skin expansion. Doctors need to choose according to scars. Sometimes it is necessary to combine various means after operation, such as auxiliary laser and drug treatment, which will get better results.
