1. Scars can be treated by laser, surgery, injections, skin grafting and other methods depending on the size, location and unevenness of the scar. For specific treatment suggestions, you can go to the plastic surgery clinic of a well-known large hospital for consultation or treatment.
2. New progress in scar treatment
Due to skin trauma, inflammation, infection (such as eczema infection) Scars caused by acne, insect bites, etc. generally have no significant impact on the body's functions, and most do not require surgical treatment. However, patients often experience itchy discomfort and obvious unsightly appearance. To reduce symptoms, accelerate scar softening, and maximize appearance. We use non-surgical treatments. Including laser, drug injection and topical drugs or imported scar removal products, etc.
Laser treatment: In the treatment of scars with 585nm dye laser, when we set a certain pulse width, the laser emitted can be specifically absorbed by the hemoglobin-rich tissue structure in the scar body. In our treatments in recent years, we have observed that this laser has significantly improved the color, size, surface texture, softness and pain and discomfort of scars. At the same time, it was found that there was less recurrence of scars. Histopathological examination after treatment also showed a reduction in sclerosing glue in the scar tissue. This treatment is suitable for hypertrophic scars and keloids in all parts of the body. It does not require anesthesia and is almost painless. The number of treatments varies based on the length of time the scar has formed, the type of lesion, and the individual's response to laser treatment. The general interval between repeated treatments is 6-8 weeks.
Drug injection: Inject corticosteroids into the lesion. It can also achieve better therapeutic effects. However, this treatment requires relatively skilled injection techniques. It has been used in our department for many years with satisfactory results.
Topical drugs: There are many kinds. Doctors will make appropriate choices based on different situations. In order to allow better penetration of the drug, ultrasound can also be used. The Kangruibao cream currently used in our hospital has a relatively good effect on newly formed scars, post-operative scars or preventing post-operative scar formation. In recent years, foreign countries have used the new immune response modulator imiquimod to treat keloid scars with satisfactory results. We are also using this drug in combination with other therapies to treat scars.
Scar removal series: Our hospital’s skin beauty laser center has introduced a set of scar removal series products from the United States. Including targeting protruding scars, depressed scars (more common in acne, scars after animal bites, and fine skin lines such as stretch marks), general scars and pigmentation (scars caused by falls, bumps, etc., smoke, etc.) There are different products for scars, surgical scars, insect bites, acne scars, dark circles, etc.) as well as new wounds, inflamed wounds, wounds after squeezing pimples). Both can achieve ideal results. It is especially suitable for patients with dark circles, stretch marks, pigmentation or scarring after insect bites, and recurrent acne. It is more suitable to use it in the early stage.
