What are the Possible Causes of Scars?

Scars are the body’s natural repair mechanism and are essentially parenchymatous cells with collagen deposited in the wound area to allow healing and closure of the skin.

Who Needs Scars Treatment?

A majority of injuries and wounds heal with scars. However, some scars fade and disappear with time due to the skin’s constant renewal process.

But, if you have a scar affecting your facial or body aesthetics, making you conscious or affecting your self-confidence, you must see a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon about making it less visible.

In some people, scars tend to become itchy, tender, painful or tender and may require scar treatment. If you notice an abnormal growth near a scar, visit your dermatologist immediately.

People with keloid scars or a tendency to form one must see their doctor for scar treatment and learn how they can prevent scars in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

While most people wish to undergo Scar Treatment right after an injury, one must not rush. Tending to your wound or injury and nursing your skin back to health is the most important thing to do. There are several topical scar treatment products that you can apply. Still, only after your wound or injury has healed completely and your dermatologist gives the go-ahead to use these products.

Different Scar Treatments work in varied ways. While topical products smoothen, hydrate and even out the area, lasers and surgery work at a deeper layer of the skin. The result of your scar treatment is subjective as it depends upon several factors like the type of scar, the treatment used, the experience and skill of the surgeon, the age of the scar and the area of the body where the scar is present.

Surgery is a good option for deeper scars and includes skin grafting, excision, dermabrasion, and laser surgery.

Though there are several treatment options for scar removal, the most suitable one for you depends on your scar type. For example, lighter and superficial scars can be treated using topical creams, whereas deeper, more severe scars like keloids require cryotherapy, laser resurfacing or surgery to get rid of them.
