Scar correction
Post-traumatic tissue healing is often accompanied by the formation of scars - compacted areas of skin that tighten the boundaries of wounds to ensure the integrity of the skin and protection from infection. Neoplasms are a visible aesthetic defect, and the deeper the damage to the skin layers, the more pronounced the healing of the scar. Scar removal is a popular service in aesthetic cosmetology and medicine, characterized by excellent results even in the most difficult cases.

Types of scars
Scar tissue, unlike healthy tissue, is devoid of protective mechanisms: there are no hairs on the surface, no fat layer and sweat glands, and there is a deficiency of connective tissue fibers. Externally, the scar, as a rule, differs from the rest of the skin in color and is felt as a raised unevenness that can cause discomfort when touched.
Scar removal requires preliminary diagnostics to determine the causes and structural features of the tumors in order to select the appropriate correction method based on these data.
Hypertrophic and keloid scars are often the result of excessive sun exposure, diabetes mellitus and other concomitant pathologies, and genetic predisposition. The scarring process is usually accompanied by various complications of regeneration - infection, excessive reaction to injury, etc.
Removal of scars on the face and other parts of the body is carried out using different correction methods. Carrying out the procedure requires the experience and qualifications of a doctor, so you should choose specialized clinics to receive the service.
The following types of scars are distinguished:
- Normotrophic Formed when the upper layers of the skin are damaged. They are often the result of surgery performed parallel to skin tension lines (Langer's lines). Their severity is usually relatively small and does not cause noticeable discomfort.
- Atrophic Located below the level of the epidermis, scars are characterized by multiple dips or pits on the surface formed as a result of insufficient production of collagen and elastin. They often form on the face after acne or chickenpox.
- Hypertrophic Associated with wound healing across Langer's lines. These scars appear reddish and lumpy, raised above the skin surface.
- Keloid They are raised areas of dense scar tissue that can grow beyond the original area of damage. Such defects are the most difficult to treat and cause considerable concern, because often painful to the touch, itchy and highly pigmented. They form more often on the shoulders, chest, neck, and earlobes.
Scar correction methods
Drug therapy
Treatment of scars and scars using external remedies can be quite effective if used at an early stage of formation of defects. As a rule, the drugs have pronounced anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects that can prevent excessive formation of scar tissue. In the case of an already formed scar, the use of special ointments and creams will help prepare the skin for other corrective procedures, making the process more effective and safe.
A good cosmetic effect is ensured by applying silicone gel to the scar, creating a thin protective film. Thus, moisture is retained in the defective area, helping to slow down inflammatory reactions and enhance regenerative processes. The product is applied under the patch for 6-8 hours for several months.
Before using medications, it is important to consult a doctor. The doctor will help you choose a suitable remedy, taking into account the characteristics of the tumor, and determine a treatment regimen.
Each type of scar is corrected using the method that is safest for the patient. In any clinical case, the decision on the choice of treatment is made only by the doctor, taking into account the existing contraindications. It is especially important to take them into account during surgical correction of scars. These include:
- Infectious seasonal diseases
- Chronic pathologies in the active phase
- Vascular disorders
- Hemodynamic problems
- Pregnancy and lactation
- Age up to 16 years
If such reasons exist, scar correction is contraindicated in most cases. Individual intolerance to individual components included in therapeutic drugs, the presence of acne, herpes, and a large number of moles or warts are also taken into account.
