The effective method that desalt scar how should scar be removed?

scar is one of the beautiful natural enemies. Whether it's a knife cut wound, an operation or a serious burn, it will leave scars of different degrees.

In terms of current medical technology, scars can only be diluted and cannot be eliminated.

What is scar?

To know scars, we need to know skin first. This seemingly simple structure can at least be divided into cuticle, epidermis, dermis and subcutaneous tissue.

When the damage only destroys the epidermis or superficial dermis, the wound will soon heal; when the damage reaches the deep dermis or even deeper, it needs to fill the damaged area by producing granulation tissue, which will eventually become ugly scars.

Scar is the inevitable result of post-traumatic repair. Any operation is an injury, so scars can never be removed by surgery. Surgery can only dilute, shrink or change the shape of scars.

What are the types of scars?

There are three types of scars in medicine:

1. Ordinary scars: generally, the color is lighter than the normal skin, the texture is softer, and some of them will be wrinkled or sunken.

2. Hypertrophic scar: it is obviously red, prominent and flexible in texture. Most patients will feel pain and itch, and most of them need active treatment.

3. Keloid: it is obviously prominent, often spherical, red or similar to normal skin, with very flexible texture, and may be accompanied by obvious pain and itching, which is the most stubborn.

3. What are the means to deal with scars?

1. Anti scar drugs: it is very effective for unstable scars and hypertrophic scars, and the damage to patients is the smallest, but it has little effect on old scars.

2. Anti scar patch and pressure therapy: it is more effective for obvious raised hypertrophic scars. With customized elastic sleeve to exert pressure on scars, it can effectively limit the development of hypertrophic scars, fully soften scars, and create conditions for later surgical treatment.

3. Scar injection: scar ointment and film have no effect, so scar injection is needed. But this way is more suitable for scars of small area, and the process of injection is more painful.

4. Surgical removal: if the appearance of old scars is not good, they can be removed and re cosmetically sutured. In the process of new scar formation, doctors can intervene by various means to make it as inconspicuous as possible.

5. Operation local injection combined therapy: when the hypertrophic scars and keloids are too large, it is necessary to keep the edge of the scars and inject scar injection after partial resection.

6. Surgical reconstruction or skin grafting: any scar may cause contracture, restrict joint movement and even distort the facial features. At this time, we need to do surgery and reasonable reduction. Sometimes it will pay the price of slightly longer scar length, but reduction will improve the overall beauty.

7. Fat injection: at first, some doctors took autogenous fat filling to fill the sunken scars, but unexpectedly found that the quality of scars had been improved.

8. Whole face pre construction and reconstruction: through expander technology, stem cell technology, free blood vessels and flap transplantation technology, a face is reconstructed with the patient's chest skin and transplanted to the severely damaged face. This is our country's first technology, known as "Chinese face changing".

4. How can we reduce the scar effect when we are injured?

From the moment of injury, the repair mechanism of the body has been activated. At this point, accelerating wound healing itself can limit scarring. Here are a few points, you can get good results with a little attention:

1. Thorough debridement and suturing: clean, non infectious wounds heal faster, and there is no inflammation stimulation, and scars generally do not grow crazy. If it's a bruise, don't pick up the scab after fully washing the wound. It's better to let it "ripen and fade away". Continuous stimulation of the wound will make the scar very obvious.

2. Avoid spicy tobacco and alcohol: Although there is no strong clinical evidence, long-term observation shows that eating spicy, smoking and drinking will promote scar hyperplasia. However, it is said that eating soy sauce will deepen the color of scars.

3. Reduce activity: in many cases, trauma occurs at the joint. Frequent activity of the skin around the joint will obviously stimulate scar hyperplasia, so it is best to reduce activity. Then the question comes, someone will ask me what to do if I get hurt around my mouth. The answer is to talk less and eat less.

4. Early application of silicone preparation: the wound can be touched with water 24 hours after suture removal. Pay attention to keep the scars clean and gently scrub them. Silicone gel can accelerate scar maturation and avoid scar hyperplasia.

Pay attention to the above items, and even some scar plastic surgery can be avoided. Even if surgery is still needed, it can greatly reduce the difficulty of surgery, reduce surgical trauma and improve the postoperative effect. On the way to fight against the disease, please don't let your doctor fight alone. Be sure to trust and cooperate with the doctor.

5. Attention: the scar should be operated as soon as possible

Often someone just did a wound suture, the next day rushed to plastic surgery consultation. Once the wound is sutured, it should not be operated again within three months. If the operation is performed again rashly, it will aggravate the inflammatory reaction of local tissue, which is no different from promoting the scar.

At this time, you need to wait patiently for the scar to stabilize, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, take medicine on time, avoid eating and reduce activities.

But there are some cases, even if the scar is still very red and swollen, we need to operate as soon as possible.

For example, some hypertrophic scars and keloids may affect the position of the five senses or cause joint stiffness due to contracture, which requires immediate surgery, otherwise it will lead to joint stiffness or deflection of the five senses, and even scar softening can not be recovered.

Scarring is one of the many diseases that people still know little about. But the completion of the human genome project has taken the first step in the long march to speed up the search for the mysteries of life. I believe that the mystery of scars will be revealed in the near future.
