For example, the aforementioned linear scars, webbed scars, frivolous scars, bridge scars, depression scars, atrophic scars, hyperplastic scars, contracture scars, unstable scars, painful scars, etc. can be treated by the doctor For scar repair

The principle of scar surgery is to smooth the epidermis of the bump scar, and then re-grow a new epidermis through the wound healing process, making the scar blurred and improving its appearance. However, the scar can only be limited to a safe depth, and there is nothing that can be done for scars that are too deep. Other methods for improving scars or comprehensive treatment need to be considered.

Scaling surgery is also divided into depth. The advantages of superficial scars are that they do not require anesthesia, fast wound healing and fewer side effects, but they can only improve shallower scars, and they have to be performed several times before they are effective. Microcrystalline microdermabrasion using high-speed jets of crystal sand is a common method. Deep scars are suitable for deeper scars. Use a high-speed rotating metal brush or diamond to smooth the scars. Or use a laser to heat the scar tissue in layers to evaporate it, so that the scar subsides.

What are the scar repair operations?

There are many methods for scar treatment, and they are generally divided into non-surgical treatment, surgical treatment and comprehensive treatment in medicine.

Non-surgical treatment includes: laser, freezing, stress, physical, radiation, medicine, Chinese medicine, rehabilitation and other treatment methods.

Surgical treatments include: scar removal, fractional removal, resection of skin flaps, flaps or other tissue transplantation, grinding, application of tissue expanders and microsurgical techniques, etc.

Comprehensive treatment includes: supplementary medicine, radiation or isotope therapy after surgery, medical treatment, sports and physical therapy, medicine and physical therapy, etc.

Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages, and the applicable scars are different. If there are so many scars, how do you choose? You must not act rashly, and you must ask an experienced doctor to make a choice before making a diagnosis.

Laser treatment of scars

Laser has four characteristics of strong monochromaticity, strong directivity, high energy density and good coherence. It is a kind of laser light that is different from other medical lights.

New medical technology. There are many types of lasers used in the medical field, but not many lasers can be used to treat scars. It mainly uses the unique technologies of the laser itself such as cauterization, vaporization, cutting, coagulation, and defocusing irradiation. By directly changing the output power of the laser or adjusting the focused laser beam, it allows it to treat different scars with different characteristics. .

The laser treatment of scars is suitable for flat scars without obvious dysfunction, small depressions of uneven size, unevenness left over after the healing of smallpox, chickenpox, acne, bridge-like and redundant scars, and can also be used to treat hyperplastic scar And keloids.

The use of laser technology to treat scars requires doctors to fully understand the functions, use methods, and indications of various lasers, and to be proficient in the operation of the instrument. It also requires strict and effective protective measures. Therefore, before preparing for laser treatment, You should carefully understand, choose, and carefully ask questions that may occur during and after treatment. You cannot make a hasty decision.

Laser treatment of scars, if applied properly, generally does not appear to be dangerous, and very rarely, there may be local complications of scar formation and pigmentation, which are mostly caused by improper depth of treatment. Antibiotics should be taken orally for 3 days after laser treatment. Patients with a large treatment range should extend their medication time. Do not forcefully remove the wound after scabbing, wait for it to fall off naturally, avoid sun exposure and wind and sand stimulation after exfoliation.

2. Scarred

1. Caesarean leave scar

The scars left by Caesarean section often lie on the stomach like a cricket, and it is basically impossible to lighten it. Some people may also bulge, harden and often itch on the scar. A plastic surgeon says that a scar from a caesarean section is a mark that must be left after a caesarean section. Wound infections, improper care, and rejection of subcutaneous sutures can all lead to hyperplasia of scar tissue.

Because the abdominal skin is relatively loose, the surgical method can directly remove the hypertrophic scar tissue, and suture the skin on both sides of the scar through non-invasive microsurgical suture to achieve the finest parasitic growth. This method can not only greatly improve the postpartum scars, but also shrink the loose abdomen, and the body will be much slimmer, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. However, the method of slitting to remove scars is only applicable to long scars, as well as small bump scars. For chicken pox scars and acne scars, it will be more effective when combined with scar surgery.

Burn scars

Burn scars usually become red and bulging. Experts at Shanghai Tianda Medical Cosmetic Hospital say they are contracture scars. How scars move on the face, neck, and facial features is also affected by scar tissue. Therefore, skin tissue expanders can be used for repair. This surgical method is to place an appropriate volume of dilator under the normal skin next to the scar. The doctor injects a certain amount of physiological saline to gradually expand the dilator. After expanding the normal skin to cover the scar skin, the dilator is removed and the scar is removed. Tissue, covering the scar with the expanded skin, and suture the incision. A suture like a thread is difficult to find without notice.

3. Large area scars

Transplanting the normal skin of other parts of the body to cover the scar is a better way to deal with such large scars. Skin grafting can solve a large area of scars and restore body function at one time, but the skin grafting area will leave permanent pigments and the surrounding skin color will have a certain contrast.

The cost of scar repair surgery is generally based on the size of the scar, the location of the scar, and the quality of the surgical method selected according to the condition of the scar. Generally, small scars are around two or three thousand. For larger scars, Will be higher accordingly.

For ordinary scars, pay attention not to bask in the sun to avoid the stimulation of wind and sand. It is best not to use cosmetics at the scar to avoid irritation to the scar. During this period, the epidermis of the scar is thin. Do not rub it with your hands, do not squeeze, and keep it clean. In this way, you can prevent pigmentation, and you can also use topical drugs to keep the scars from growing and the pigments falling off and promote the softening of the scars.

Dermatologists explain: Skin grafting is to remove a part of the skin from your own healthy skin to cover the area where the scar is removed. It is also suitable for large areas of facial scar tissue or local tattoos that are not easy to wash off. The effect of skin grafting Most of them are marked with sutures around the skin, and there will be scars on the skin removal site (donor skin area). If you choose a skin graft that is close to the skin, plus the suture technique is good, the skin will survive, and the effect of removing scars on the face is quite obvious .

If the facial scar covers the entire face, the entire facial scar can be removed at once, and a whole skin graft can be transplanted. This can effectively prevent the formation of scars at the joints when the skin graft is divided into sections, and the effect is better than that of the skin graft after surgery. The skin to be used is preferably a full-thickness skin or a skin with a subdermal vascular network, because after these two skins are transplanted, the color of the face will not be too dark, and the effect is better. Facial scar skin grafting has obvious effects, especially for burns and scars on large areas such as the face and arms, which can cover the ugly skin that has been damaged. The scarred part looks smoother after skin grafting.

Third Generation High Frequency Laser Scar Removal

1. Internal regulation and external governance, internal and external training, clean and thorough:

The third-generation high-frequency laser scar removal technology emits specific pulsed photon waves to absorb skin tissues, disintegrate scars, and use the body's metabolic functions to quickly excrete the body to achieve the purpose of scar repair. Pulsed photons can regulate endocrine, comprehensively conditioning from the inside out, and fundamentally repair scars.

2. Stereotherapy, fast treatment, significant effect

Many patients want to remove scars eagerly and choose cosmetics. Although the scars can be covered in a short time, the skin is also damaged and pigments are deposited in the skin. The third generation of high-frequency laser scar removal is different from traditional microdermabrasion. Based on the three-dimensional lattice laser, it can stimulate the skin's regeneration function, thereby increasing the thickness of the dermis layer, at the same time stimulating blood circulation and strengthening the metabolism of skin cells to achieve rapid Efficient repair.

3. Convenient and fast, no damage, safe and reliable

High-intensity pulsed photons act on the skin for a short time and avoid damage to surrounding tissues. This is also a great advantage of this therapy. The treatment process is safe, less painful, does not leave scars, and has a skin rejuvenation effect. The scars have faded and the complexion returns to normal within a short time. Does not damage normal tissue. No irritation, no side effects, rapid recovery after treatment, does not affect daily work and life.

The proportion of people with scar constitution is very small in the crowd. It shows that after the wound heals, the surface scar continuously increases, which not only affects the appearance, but also local pain, red itching, and scar shrinkage also affects functional movement. It is because there are relatively few people with scar constitutions, and because there are few methods for examining keloids, people with long keloids are also called scar constitutions. Scar constitutions are different from keloid constitutions. , Can appear like keloid scar healing. In other words, keloids are an inevitable manifestation of scar physique, and those with keloid scars do not necessarily belong to the scar physique. The physical appearance of scars is spontaneous. The most common sites are the chest and scapula. The scars on the surface increase continuously, the color is red, hard, and the pressure fades. It protrudes on the surface of normal skin. Females have a higher incidence than men. It not only affects the appearance, but also has a local itching sensation. Hypertrophic scars are different from keloid physiques. Hypertrophic scars are characterized by wound healing that is convex to normal skin, hard, red, and sometimes itching, especially if it is spicy. Stimulate food, especially after drinking. However, if it grows to a certain degree and has passed the proliferative period, if it does not stimulate the scar site, it is less likely to continue to expand. The scar body, its body-prone site, or any cause of damage will cause infinite proliferation.
