There are many treatments and procedures available to remove scars, here are some options.

Skin scrubbing method: apply a cooling agent to the affected area to numb the skin and fix the surface, and then polish it with a rotatable stainless steel wheel set with tiny 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, the treatment will last for 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 dermis from the second layer of 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.

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.

Chemical peels: Mild or superficial peels - only gently removing the top layer of skin cells - are treated 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.

Punch 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.

Laser dermaplaning: This treatment uses a carbon dioxide laser to polish the skin. Unlike dermabrasion, laser dermabrasion is a relatively non-bleeding method of skin polishing. But like skin peeling, laser treatment also has its drawbacks - if used improperly, it can produce new scars or uneven stains.

About laser treatment

Laser treatment of scars and other skin diseases is a new application of laser in medical treatment. It is suitable for treating small hyperplasia and atrophic scars, such as trauma or surgery. scars, residual depressed scars after sores, etc. It is also suitable for the treatment of various skin tags, such as flat warts, syringomas, age warts, etc. and superficial skin color cord diseases, such as freckles, café-au-lait spots, etc.

Each treatment lasts from 5 minutes to 2 hours depending on the area and type of disease. It is performed in an outpatient clinic without hospitalization. Due to the instantaneous high temperature generated locally during laser treatment, there will be some stinging and burning sensation, but most patients can tolerate it without anesthesia. For a few sensitive patients, we can add local superficial or infiltration anesthesia during the operation to reduce the pain. Feeling of discomfort. So don't worry, the surgery will go smoothly. 1-3 days after laser treatment, there will be redness, swelling and exudation in the treatment area and surrounding tissues, and you can feel swelling and numbness. Later, the redness and swelling will gradually subside, and the surgical wound will be covered with scab. The skin will fall off and the wound will heal 1-2 weeks after the operation. Within 2 weeks after surgery, the surgical wound should be kept clean, dry, not scrubbed, and protected from sunlight. Topical antibiotic ointment should be used if necessary. The scab cannot be removed by force, it should be allowed to fall off on its own. After treatment, the local skin color may be redder and then pigmented. Depending on individual circumstances, the pigmentation will gradually subside after 1 to 6 months.
