• prevention of scarring after surgery;
• keloid (colloidal) scars;
• atrophic and normotrophic scars;
• hyperpigmentation and post-acne;
• fresh hypertrophic scars.

Ointments are used to treat any parts of the body, including the face, where scars annoy the most. Treatment of cosmetic defects is complex. Peelings, laser resurfacing, and the use of creams and ointments at home are often required. The full scope of procedures is determined by the nature of origin and age of scars.

After surgery, the risk of scarring on the face increases, the connective tissue may grow together incorrectly, forming a scar. There are several methods for removing scars on the face after surgery, but you need to remember that the choice of method for removing marks directly depends on the type of scar.

Types of scars and scars on the face

There can be several reasons for the appearance of scars.. There are several main types of scars:

• normotrophic. The scar is formed during the normal healing process of the connective tissue in the absence of even minor complications. The scar may appear as a result of a small surgical intervention, after the stitches are removed. The skin area and the scar itself do not differ in color from healthy skin, the scar is flat and inconspicuous.
• atrophic. A scar appears on the face after the removal of moles or other neoplasms. Acne marks can transform into an atrophic type. The scar is formed by flabby tissue in which the level of collagen is reduced. The trace is often rounded, forming a recess on the surface of the epidermis. You can learn how to overcome scars at home.
• hypertrophic. The formation of a mark is preceded by a genetic predisposition to increased tissue growth, long-term non-healing burns and insect bites. Suppuration of the wound can lead to improper scarring. The trace may be convex relative to the skin and have a pinkish tint.
• Keloid scar. The area of ​​affected skin resembles a tumor. The size and extent of the lesion depends on the location, type of injury, and genetic predisposition to scarring. The scar has a red or bluish color, with a bumpy surface.

Traces on the skin of the face that have arisen after surgery can belong to all 4 types of scars.

When and why you need to remove scars and scars on the face

Removal of a facial scar after surgery is allowed for medical reasons and if the scar is a cosmetic defect.

Surgical scars are removed with liquid nitrogen. The procedure must be carried out in a specialized clinic. Cotton swab dipped in solution, it is recommended to apply to the deformed area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin for 1-3 minutes. After the deep freezing procedure, swelling and blisters form on the skin, which burst after 5-7 days. Healing lasts 21 days, the scar gradually brightens.

The method can be used as a preventive method. Suitable for removing fresh keloid scars. The time of the event and the dose of radiation depends on individual characteristics. Buki-irradiation is recommended for use after freezing with cold. The scars come off quickly.

Scar removal is based on mechanical grinding of marks. The specialist uses special brushes and cuts off the scar. Narcosis is required.

There may be some bleeding after the procedure. Therefore, before using this procedure, it is recommended to consult a doctor.

The marking is removed using carbon dioxide and erbium lasers. When the laser is heated, the skin on which the scar is located evaporated. The rays have an antibacterial effect on the skin. Seams are not applied. The event is performed under anesthesia.

Scars after operations or accidents on the face can be smoothed out with collagen or subcutaneous fat. In the area where the mark is located, collagen is injected or products containing hyaluron in their composition.

Let the decoction cool down. Moisten gauze in the resulting solution and apply to the deformed area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin.

Scar removal may not be possible due to a number of medical contraindications. In such cases, you can use a number of popular methods, which include:

• Tattoo scar disguise;
• Make-up application;
• Peeling procedures;
• Cosmetic polishing.

The method must be selected based on the degree of damage to the skin, location and other individual characteristics of the patient.

• laser;
• microcrystalline;
• phenolic;
• retinoic.

Mechanism of action of peeling

• under the influence of acids, scar tissue dissolves;
• metabolic processes at the cellular level are enhanced;
• the independent production of hyaluron and collagen by the epidermis starts;
• after peeling, the scar exfoliates and disappears along with the crusts;
• after the procedure, new skin at the site of the scar is formed in 10-12 days.

Self-removal of crusts is unacceptable. The scar will not only not disappear, but may also increase in size.

• Before removal, it is necessary to consult a specialist and pass all tests.

Plastic surgery as a way to remove scars

Plastic surgery is performed when more gentle methods do not bring results.. Scar tissue is intervened in the formation of keloid scars in accidents or moderate burns. The surgical operation directly depends on the type, size and shape of the mark. The intervention must be carried out under general anesthesia. The rehabilitation period takes place under the supervision of a specialist.

Narrow and small scars removed with a simple operation. The mark is sutured, cosmetic sutures are applied. After healing from the scar, a barely visible light mark remains on the face.

With a large streak of the skin with scars, expander plastic will be required. Bags filled with silicone or special expander fabrics are sewn under the epidermis. The scar itself cannot be touched, the intervention is carried out on the skin near the scar. The sewn-in bags are filled with the solution gradually, which leads to smoothing of the scar cover. Once the new tissue has fully formed, the silicone bags are removed. The edges of the skin are neatly connected to each other.

Gels and ointments that soften scar tissue

To soften scar tissue before carrying out procedures for removing marks, experts recommend using special ointments and gels.. Popular tools include:

• Curiosin;
• Contratubex;
• Mederma;

Answers to your 3 questions about facial scar removal at home

Is freezing a scar removed a safe procedure?

Removal of scars on the face should be carried out by a certified specialist. The scars left after the operation, as well as chronic marks, are not easy to remove. A suitable method is selected individually, based on the general condition of the patient, the size of the scar and its location.

More than 90 percent of girls believe that beautiful and healthy skin is a significant part of their attractiveness. Fresh, elastic, radiant and always even dermis is the key to a successful career, personal life and many other achievements that our contemporary can be proud of. Facial skin requires special attention: if defects in other parts of the body can be hidden under clothing, hairdo or other style attributes, then the “calling card” must be flawless from the very beginning. Any flaws on its surface deliver a lot of experiences, especially if they are the result of trauma. An atrophic scar is one such cosmetic defect. The reasons for its appearance are mechanical, chemical or other types of effects on the skin of the face, as a result of which the cover acquires this aesthetic defect. Is it possible to fight this phenomenon?

What are atrophic scars on human skin, their features

Skin scars are an inevitable consequence of various deep damage to the dermis, whether it is an open injury or surgery. If a noticeable cosmetic defect appears on the face, threatening to remain for life, then it is worth using the entire arsenal of modern means to improve the appearance of the affected area. Unlike a hypertrophic formation protruding above the skin surface and a normotrophic scar merging with it, an atrophic scar is a depression with jagged edges, inside which young collagen cells form a colorless connective tissue. Such skin lesions - soft, mobile formations - most often occur in areas with a missing subcutaneous fat layer. The characteristic appearance of such scars is due to the result of the chaotic construction of connective fibers under them, the lack of a strong “skin frame”, which is formed by the protein compounds of collagen and elastin. Any atrophic scar on the face, even if it does not pull on nearby tissues and does not impair the function of their movement, is subject to treatment, as it is located on a visible part of the body. Its reduced functional qualities are expressed in increased sensitivity to ultraviolet rays, as well as in the inability to restore hair follicles and sweat glands inside tissues. A similar scar on the face or body can be either completely depigmented or have a pronounced color in the center of the scar itself. Translucent vessels can sometimes be seen through an atrophic scar.

Characteristics of scars located below the level of the skin

Atrophic scars differ from each other in several ways. This is localization; the age of the scar (immature - up to three months, moderately mature - from 3-12 months, finally mature, the prescription of which is more than a year); shape (arc-shaped, curly, stripes, multiple dotted (post-acne) and others); dimensions; color (from pale to dark, pigmented); the effect of the scar on adjacent, healthy tissues.
An atrophic scar on the face is aesthetically unacceptable for a patient of any age: from adolescence (most often for those who suffer from acne) to the elderly, when collagen deficiency provokes the appearance of the deepest and roughest scars.

Reasons for the appearance

Any damage to the skin that destroys its collagen fibers can trigger atrophic scars: traces after severe lesions of the dermis with acne (post-acne), burns, injuries associated with a violation of the integrity of the skin (cuts, wounds, mechanical damage), certain medical procedures ( including surgery), infectious lesions (chicken pox, acne or furunculosis). In the area of ​​the cheeks, on the cheekbones due to pregnancy, due to hormonal imbalance, dehydration or sudden weight loss and weight gain, microtraumas - striae - can also appear.

How to get rid of the consequences of trauma on the face? Treatment

A timely appeal to a cosmetologist or aesthetic surgery clinic will help you choose the most appropriate method for scar correction, after which the atrophic scar on your face will become less noticeable. Treatment methods for this skin formation are aimed at restoring the altered texture of the dermis using both surgical and non-surgical methods.
To minimize the trace of an atrophic scar at an early stage, when it is finally formed (but no later than after 3-6 months), the use of ointments, gels and creams helps. Of the professional methods for treating receding scars (whose age is from 6 to 12 months), cosmetologists can offer chemical (median) peeling, mesotherapy or contouring (filling the scar with a filler based on hyaluronic acid), microdermabrasion or laser resurfacing. Among surgical methods, excision of an atrophic scar (with a scalpel or laser) is popular, followed by a cosmetic suture over the old scar, which makes it more accurate and less noticeable. Before leveling an atrophic scar, specialists determine its parameters and select the appropriate treatment, including complex therapy, which allows solving the aesthetic problem using several methods.

External cosmetics for getting rid of scars: ointments, gels and creams

In modern cosmetology, there are several types of drugs that help to effectively deal with the consequences of injuries on the skin of the face. Such aesthetic defects include an atrophic scar. Treatment may include the use of products that include petroleum jelly and silicone. These components prevent the deterioration of the affected areas of the dermis. Healing of fresh scars is more productive with the help of steroid or hormonal creams, which are prescribed by a dermatologist. In addition, the arsenal of care products for the face with traces of damage to the dermal cover includes: scarring gels, silicone plates, moisturizing creams with SPF (ultraviolet protection), which help accelerate the growth of young cells and restore microcirculation in tissues. Such drugs include Contractubex and Mederm, Kelofibraza and Kelo-cat, Fermencol and Dermatix, Zeraderm Ultra and Scarquard liquid cream.

An atrophic scar, the treatment of which depends on the maturity of the scar itself and its size, can be made less noticeable in any case only by increasing the duration of treatment. For example, using transparent silicone plates "Spenko". The choice of cream should be carried out only on the recommendations of a doctor, since self-treatment of atrophic scars can lead to a deterioration in their condition, the appearance of allergic reactions and a waste of money. The disadvantages of treating traces of post-acne, striae and other atrophic scars with the help of external agents are their long-term use and selective effect. The advantages of using ointments and creams are their availability and simplicity, relatively low cost.

Types of injection scar correction

The most common intradermal methods of treatment and restoration of scar tissue today are: mesotherapy, biorevitalization, plasmolifting and contouring (correction of scars with fillers). Mesotherapy, or the introduction of biologically active substances that improve the quality of the skin and affected tissues, contributes to effective therapy and stimulation of acupuncture points. It makes it possible to direct the medicine directly into the atrophic scar.
Biorevitalization helps to saturate the deep layers of the skin with hyaluronic acid and avoid the lack of formation of collagen fibers in the early stages. Plasmolifting prevents the formation of post-acne scars by introducing the patient's own blood component (enriched autoplasma) under the patient's skin. Stimulation of tissue regeneration processes with the help of this procedure provides a safe and fast treatment of scars.

Fillers

Intradermal implants based on stabilized hyaluronic acid help to solve the aesthetic problem of sunken scars by lifting the skin and giving the corrected area of ​​the skin the necessary volume. How to align an atrophic scar with their help? To do this, you need to introduce a filler with a gel consistency (filler) directly under the surface of the scar and raise it to the level of the outer epidermis. In addition, these drugs increase the ability of tissues to regenerate, which accelerates the processes of their natural renewal. The only disadvantage of this method is the need for regular correction due to the gradual biodegradation (decomposition) of hyaluronic acid, as a natural component.

Microdermabrasion - resurfacing of atrophic scars

To carry out this procedure, special equipment is used, which allows microcrystals to be transferred to the surface of the epidermis under pressure (through the tip). Diamond, salt, organic particles or aluminum dioxide, like sand, exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells, leveling its relief.
Some devices are equipped with a diamond tip with nozzles that grind the skin instead of crystals. The standard course of hardware mechanical peeling is 4-6 procedures, but post-acne scars or deep atrophic scars are more often leveled with 10-12 sessions, each of which is carried out no more than 1 time in 1-1.5 weeks.

Laser resurfacing of atrophic scars: modern methods

Laser peeling methods, which are popular today, can reduce the depth and size of sunken scars on the face or permanently eliminate the aesthetic consequences of injuries. With the help of a beam of an erbium or carbon dioxide laser, keratinized skin cells are removed in layers and, due to the formation of protein fibers, the process of updating the dermis - neocollagenesis is stimulated.
Laser resurfacing of atrophic scars of small depth and size is carried out with an erbium beam, which is gentle on the epidermis. This type of radiation is suitable even for dry and sensitive skin. A deeper and more powerful therapeutic penetration is provided by a fractional carbon dioxide laser. It also starts regeneration processes in tissues, stimulates collagen synthesis, and the result of treatment becomes visible after one or two procedures, when the atrophic scar becomes almost invisible.

To get a guaranteed therapeutic effect, when choosing a clinic, it is necessary to pay attention to its reputation and qualifications of a dermatologist, since work on expensive laser equipment is trusted only by trained and certified specialists.

Causes of scarring on the face

The causes of the appearance on the face after acne are:

• self-squeezing acne;
• long-term absence of acne treatment;
• fungal skin lesions.

After the formation, maturation and time when acne bursts, craters appear in their places, which rarely heal without a trace, often causing scarring. It is necessary to notice in time the process during which scars are formed.

The first stage is the appearance of an open wound, which begins to become inflamed due to the negative impact of external factors.

Visually, a person may not notice anything, but many microbes have already settled in a new focus of inflammation.

The body's response is immediate: an increased flow of blood containing leukocytes, platelets and other substances that fight infection and promote healing of irritation is activated to the wound.

When a person has a good immune system and the wound is not too deep, medical treatment is usually not needed. If the immune system is weakened by something or the individual experiences an excessive release of hormones that provoke the appearance and development of acne, for example, due to the passage of adolescence, the condition of acne may worsen, sometimes new ones appear in large numbers.

Affected skin is no longer distinguished by a special color, thickness, texture. This process can take a very long time, and when the depressions after acne are too deep, before a healthy epidermis grows, the surface of the wound will fill with scar tissue.

Types of scars

After acne, the following scars may remain:

1. deep rounded. Reminiscent of waves, have the shape of an arc, sometimes pronounced. They can be treated with an incision, followed by filling the wound with a drug, such as Restylane.
2. Medium and rounded. Look like holes. Usually treated with surgery or laser.


3. Rectangular shape. Treated with chemical reconstruction.
4. Keloid. Appear due to excessive tissue growth. The resulting mounds may darken over time, which does not always appear. Treatment is with steroid injections, sometimes surgery is required.
5. Hypertrophic. They are characterized by a hilly shape. Appear due to the release of excess scar tissue. Often there is no need for treatment, as they go away on their own. Sometimes laser injections, folk remedies, surgery, laser therapy are used.
6. chipped. Formed in the form of a deep hole with notches. Scars of this form can leave cystic acne. Treatment depends on their width and depth. The use of triacetic acid is often practiced. In some cases, Punch Techniques is used, called the push method, when the scar is mechanically removed. Sometimes collagen injections are used.

Scar removal methods

For the treatment of deep scars after a rash, it is recommended to contact a specialist.

An experienced cosmetologist or dermatologist can recommend chemical or fruit peels, after which it is advisable to use a whitening cream.

Laser resurfacing will help to even out the tone of the face in the shortest possible time, which will make the scars almost or completely invisible. With constant treatment, even very deep acne marks can be removed by 100%.

If the skin has not suffered much from acne, there are not many scars and they are not deep, mild whitening creams can be used, for which hydroquinone, which is the active ingredient, is used as the basis.

When the skin is subjected to severe deformation, you can ask the dermatologist personally to create the most suitable cream recipe for the individual characteristics of the skin and scars.

If necessary, the doctor will write a prescription for a product that contains more than 4% hydroquinone, then the patient will be able to freely buy it at the pharmacy.

Such creams give a positive result, since after application the components penetrate deep into the skin, but the time of their use is quite long.

In addition to scars, spots can remain after acne. Find out how to get rid of redness after a pimple.

  this is the most common type of scars. They only slightly protrude above the surface of the skin, and also initially have a red or dark red color. Over a typically two-year period, these scars gradually fade and flatten further.

• Hypertrophic scars (Fig. 2-3) -
  their peculiarity is that they protrude very strongly above the level of the skin. They also tend to have an intense red or purple color. As a rule, this is the type of scar from a caesarean - photo 3.

• Keloid scars / scars (Fig. 4) -
  are formed as a result of excessive formation of collagen at the site of the wound. The peculiarity of these scars is that the scar tissue continues to grow far beyond the wound itself, even after the wound has already healed.

• Contracture scars (Fig. 5) -
  are usually formed as a result of burns. Such scars tighten and compress the skin, limiting its mobility.

• Atrophic scars (Fig. 6) -
  they look like dents on the surface of the skin. Most often, scars on the face after chickenpox or acne look like this.

Scar formation is a natural process of skin healing after injury (Fig. 7). Initially, the wound surface is covered with crusts, and the traumatic defect under them begins to fill with soft granulation tissue. Gradually, granulation tissue is replaced by dense fibrous connective tissue (collagen) produced by cells called fibroblasts.

Fibroblasts actively produce collagen at the site of damage to the skin for three to four months, which usually leads to a gradual elevation of the scar above the level of the skin and the formation of a bumpy surface in it. In parallel with this, blood capillaries actively grow, as a result of which the scar becomes red.

Then, some of the over-formed collagen begins to break down, and the number of newly formed capillaries decreases. This leads to the fact that the scar gradually becomes smooth, soft and begins to turn pale. In most cases, scars are permanent, and only in very rare cases do they disappear without a trace within the first two years after the injury.

How to prevent scars -

It is impossible to completely prevent scar formation, but there are a number of things that can help your scar become less visible and heal better…

1. If a wound is formed on the skin, immediately clean it of dirt and disinfect it.
2. If the wound is deep - use a pressure bandage, because. this can help smooth out the appearance of scars.
3. Always protect the wound from water (do not wet wounds with water).
4. Use a scar and scar treatment to reduce redness and improve healing. It can be a special ointment for scars and scars, or a silicone-based gel / patch.
5. Gently massage the scarred area as the scabs fall off after healing. Massage helps prevent massive layers of collagen from building up and becoming scars.

Important points -

1. Do not cover the wound hermetically, the access of oxygen allows crusts to form faster, which accelerate the healing of the wounded area.
2. In no case do not pick or tear off the crusts, because. this will definitely lead to the formation of a significant scar.
3. For antiseptic treatment of wounds, use any antiseptics, except for hydrogen peroxide, because. it can cause damage to surrounding healthy skin tissue.
4. Do not apply vitamin E to wounds and fresh scars. it disrupts the correct rate of healing.
5. Do not pick or squeeze pimples - this leads to the formation of atrophic scars on the face.

How to get rid of scars -

Depending on the type of scar, as well as how old it is, there are several treatments that can help make them less noticeable and improve their appearance. Keep in mind: it is to improve, because. completely getting rid of scars without a trace is hardly possible.

In this article, we will focus on −
→ cream for scars and scars (for example, Dermatix, Kelo-Kot ...),
→ laser scar removal,
→ surgical excision of scars.

Also used to treat scars -
→ silicone patches (for example, Mepiform),
→ methods of medium or deep chemical peeling,
→ dermabrasion technique (skin resurfacing),
→ cosmetic camouflage (make-up or tattoo on scars).
Read about these methods at the links in the relevant articles. A combination of several treatments is often used.

The best external remedy for scars and scars -

The pharmacy always has a selection of topical products for scars, which help to make them less visible on the skin. The most common and well-known means include -

→ gel "Dermatix" (Fig. 8),
→ gel "Kelo-Kot" (Fig. 9),
→ gel "Zeraderm ultra",
→ gel "Fermencol",
→ gel "Kontraktubeks",
→ gel "Mederma",
→ silicone patches Mepiform or Dermatix (Fig. 10).

How to get rid of scars with these remedies -
The basis of all these funds is either silicone or sodium heparin. Silicone perfectly moisturizes and protects the skin, making it more elastic. Heparin sodium is also excellent at keeping the skin hydrated. Note that all these funds are designed not only to help the correct formation of scars, but also prevent the formation of keloid scars.

As for the opinion of doctors, there is no unanimous opinion about which remedy is better. Moreover, some doctors generally recommend not touching fresh scars and not smearing them with anything, but letting the body cope with the healing process on its own. And only if there is a tendency to form keloids, it is worth using Dermatix or Kelo-cat as a preventive measure.

Scar cream: reviews, efficacy studies

We carefully studied the reviews of doctors, as well as reviews of patients using or not using such external agents. As a result, we did not find a direct relationship between the use of these agents and the formation of an imperceptible or almost imperceptible scar.

It seems that everything is really, strictly individual ... Many patients smeared scars and still they had terrible scars, but there are those who did nothing at all, and the scars themselves gradually disappeared or became completely invisible. We have not found any published objective scientific evidence that any of these remedies actually work. All published clinical studies are based only on subjective assessment methods: interviews and examinations.

Yes, there are scientific studies showing that silicone (which is included in most scar treatments) helps to form a thinner and more elastic scar, but that's about it. However, no quantitative indicators are given in these studies: for example, what percentage of patients had a significant improvement - in relation to the total number of patients involved in the study. All this raises some doubts about the high efficiency of this group of drugs.

For example, massaging an emerging scar with a regular moisturizer or petroleum jelly also improves elasticity and better distributes the emerging new collagen in the scar tissue. But it is difficult to understand how much silicone or heparin sodium is better than regular cream or petroleum jelly, and whether it is worth paying so much for them.

Therefore, there is no unequivocal answer to the question: which ointment for scars or cream for scars and scars is better - no. The use of these creams and gels will not give you a guarantee that the scar will be less noticeable. However, we can say that the use of these funds still reduces the risk of formation of gross scars.

Remedies for scars and scars: price

The packaging of each of these gels is 15 g, and only Fermenkol is available in tubes of 30 g.

• Dermatix (Dermatiks) - costs between 2500-3000 rubles,

• Gel Kelo-kot - price from 1300 to 1700 rubles,

• Zeraderm ultra - price from 3000 to 4000 rubles. (a rich composition, which additionally includes coenzyme Q10 and vitamin K).

• Fermenkol from a Russian manufacturer - costs about 1500 rubles,

• Contractubex - costs only 600 rubles, but this drug has the worst reviews among both doctors and patients.

• Nuobisong scar cream - reviews note that this Chinese cream, which is sold illegally and only via the Internet, has neither the composition indicated on the packaging nor detailed instructions in Russian at all. Therefore, despite its low cost of about 300 rubles, we do not recommend using it.

Laser scar removal: prices, before and after photos

Laser scar removal or laser skin resurfacing (they are one and the same) is an effective method of dealing with scars. The lasers used for this procedure produce high-frequency light pulses, the thermal energy of which evaporates the thin layers of the skin, layer by layer.

Laser scar removal is especially effective for treating post-operative scars that no longer grow or thicken. For example, a cesarean scar can be perfectly removed with a laser. Also, laser resurfacing copes well with shallow atrophic scars after acne (pimples).

Laser scar removal: before and after photos

How does laser scar removal work?

First, the scar is cleaned and the area to be treated is marked with a marker. Often the area to be treated is anesthetized with a local anesthetic. Some patients are offered sedative or anti-anxiety medications to help them relax. If there is a removal of scars on the face, then the patient is put on special glasses to protect the eyes.

During the procedure, the patient may feel a tingling, burning sensation. You may experience slight bleeding after the procedure. When the laser scar removal procedure ends, a special scar ointment is applied to the treated area after operations, after which the wound is covered with a bandage.

24 hours after the procedure, patients are advised to start cleaning the treated area 4-5 times a day and apply a special ointment, or petroleum jelly, to prevent crusting. Healing after laser scar removal usually takes 10-21 days, depending on the size of the scar and its location.

Laser scar removal: prices
the cost varies depending on the area where the scar is located, as well as its size. Therefore, on average, to remove scars with a laser, the cost per 1 cm2 will be from 1500 to 2500 rubles.

Possible side effects after the procedure -
→ pain, burning (passes within 12-72 hours),
→ swelling (disappears within 48 hours),
→ bleeding (disappears within 12 hours),
→ crusting, peeling (within 5-7 days),
→ pigmentation,
→ infection,
→ re-formation of the scar.

After complete healing, the patient should -
→ apply oils to the treated area for 2-3 months,
→ avoid direct sunlight on this area,
→ constantly make sure that young skin is constantly moisturized.

Surgical treatment of scars -

Surgical treatment of scars consists in excising the scar tissue and creating a cosmetic suture. There are various techniques for stitching tissues (for example, intradermal), which make it possible to ensure that in the future the seam will be almost invisible. Very thin suture material is used for cosmetic sutures.

How to get rid of scars at home -

First of all, it is to start using external products based on silicone in the form of gels, which we described above. Of course, no remedy will completely get rid of the scar, but it can help make it less noticeable. In order to get rid of scars at home, you need to treat the scar several times every day for 4 months, so tune in to a long-term treatment.

• Avoid sun exposure to the scar, because. this slows down the healing process and makes the scars more visible in color. If ram is exposed to the sun, use sunscreen (at least 30 SPF) before sun exposure.

• Massage the scarred area every day (at least 2 times a day for 3-5 minutes) to avoid excessive formation of the fibrous tissue that makes up the scars. You can massage both without everything, and using oil or gel with silicone (see brands above).

• Constantly exfoliate the surface layer of the skin, which consists of dead epidermal cells, with superficial chemical peels. It also reduces the risk of developing rough scars.

Treatment of scars with folk remedies -

1. Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera is a natural, herbal remedy for scars and scars, which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. It works as an emollient that aids the healing process and promotes the growth of healthy cells, improving skin texture.

How to apply -
To begin, peel off the outer layer of the Aloe Vera leaf until a jelly-like substance appears. After that, apply the gel to the scar, massaging the scar in a circular motion until the Aloe Vera is completely absorbed. After 30 minutes, wash off the remaining aloe vera with water. Apply Aloe Vera gel twice a day.
Important: Do not use Aloe Vera on open wounds.

2. Coconut oil

Coconut oil is another great natural ingredient that helps get rid of scars. Coconut oil contains lauric, caprylic and capric acids, which stimulate collagen synthesis and promote healing of damaged skin.

How to apply -
Heat natural unrefined coconut oil in your hands until liquid. After that, apply on the scar, massaging it with oil for 5-10 minutes. After that, leave the oil on the skin for another 1 hour so that the skin completely absorbs it. For best results, repeat the procedure 2-4 times a day.

3. Lemon

Lemon contains alpha hydroxy acids, which have a chemical peeling effect. As a result, lemon juice removes dead skin cells, promotes the growth of new cells, and improves skin elasticity.

How to apply -
apply lemon juice on the scar (if the skin is sensitive, you can dilute the juice with water or oil). Wait 10 minutes and wash off with warm water. The procedure should be repeated 1 time per day. Keep in mind that lemon can discolor skin and make it very sensitive to sunlight. Therefore, be sure to apply sunscreen or hide this area of ​​skin from the sun to avoid hyperpigmentation.

4. Apple cider vinegar

Like citric acid, malic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that is used for chemical peeling of the skin. Therefore, it will also help exfoliate and remove dead skin cells.

How to apply -
mix equal amounts of apple cider vinegar and water. Apply this solution to the scar with a cotton swab. Leave on for 5 minutes and then rinse with water. Repeat once a day.

Important: Keep in mind that exfoliating products based on lemon or apple cider vinegar will be much less effective than professional chemical peels performed in cosmetic clinics, as well as special professional preparations for superficial peels at home.

5. Tea tree oil

Tea tree oil reduces scars and blemishes due to its anti-inflammatory and healing properties. Just keep in mind that you should never use tea tree oil undiluted.

The first use case is
Add 4 drops of tea tree oil to 2 tablespoons of water. Wet the scar with this solution 2-3 times a day.

The second use case is
Mix 2-3 drops of tea tree oil with 1 teaspoon of almond oil. Apply this mixture on the scar and leave it on for 30 minutes before washing it off with water. Use once a day.

Types of scars

Speaking about scars, first of all, you need to find out their classification, treatment will depend on this:

1. Normotrophic scars. Beauticians consider them the most harmless. They are formed almost flush with healthy skin, there are no depressions or other deformations. Over time, such scars acquire a natural color, become quite thin and practically invisible. To completely get rid of the defect, it is enough to perform simple cosmetic procedures, such as peeling or applying medications;

2. Atrophic scars. They appear due to mechanical damage to the skin. Very often, the problem occurs after squeezing acne. Hollows, pits appear on the skin. In addition, obvious pigmentation is noticeable, the scars acquire a reddish or pink tint. Treatment is best done at an early stage of scar formation. Folk remedies, cosmetic procedures, the use of medicinal ointments can help. In advanced cases, the help of a plastic surgeon is indispensable;

3. Keloid and hypertrophic scars. As a rule, arise after operations. The scars are quite noticeable, dense, pigmented. In most cases, they require the help of a surgeon to remove them.

Before starting the treatment of scars of one kind or another, it is necessary to consult a cosmetologist or surgeon. Only a specialist can choose the right way.

We use surgical methods for the treatment of scars

To cope with scars, many seek the help of surgeons. This method is quite traumatic, as a rule, it is used to remove large atrophic scars on the body.

Surgical excision is a complex operation. The doctor cuts off the old scar and makes a cosmetic, neat cosmetic scar. The procedure is painful and is performed under general anesthesia. The operation can take several hours. The result can be assessed only after 8-10 months. The recovery period is quite long.

It is worth tuning in to the fact that after excision you will need the help of a cosmetologist or the use of special ointments.

If the atrophic scar on the face is very deep, the doctor may suggest a cutting method (subcision). The operation is performed using a special needle, which hooks the connective sunken tissues and lifts them up. Visually, the skin is significantly aligned. But, as in the previous case, after the operation, you will need to use additional methods that will completely get rid of atrophic scars.

Hardware methods: all the pros and cons

Treatment of atrophic scars can be carried out with the help of special devices. Consider the most effective ways:

1. Microdermabrasion. A grinder is used. A hard-coated nozzle is selected. Mostly small crystals are used. Using vacuum energy, they pass into the epidermis, select the affected skin particles. In their place, regeneration occurs, the replacement of skin areas with new tissues. The method is painless, performed without anesthesia. But to achieve a positive result, at least 10 procedures are needed;

2. Laser application. Pretty efficient way. Cosmetologists advise using this method to remove atrophic scars after acne.

There are several types of laser. The most popular is vascular. In this case, the gluing of blood vessels in the scars occurs. The carbon dioxide laser vaporizes the top layers of the skin. Complications in the form of keloid scars are often observed.

Cosmetologists consider laser resurfacing the most effective method of getting rid of atrophic scars. To achieve the desired results, it is necessary to complete a course consisting of 3-6 procedures. A very important note: grinding is not carried out on dark, tanned skin. It is better to do the procedure in autumn or winter, when there is no scorching sun. But even at this time of year, you will need to use sunscreen.

Injection methods for the treatment of atrophic scars: fast, reliable, effective

Atrophic scars on the face are best treated with injections:

1. Mesotherapy. Under the skin, the cosmetologist injects a special preparation that nourishes the epidermis, starts the process of cell regeneration, and collagen synthesis begins. The result can be seen almost immediately. Deep atrophic scars are leveled, skin pigmentation disappears;

2. Biorevitalization. The cosmetologist injects a preparation that contains hyaluronic acid into the scar. As a result, the process of cell and tissue regeneration starts. Experts say that the procedure is best done after laser resurfacing;

3. Contour plastic. Quickly help to remove an atrophic scar on the nose. The essence of the procedure is that the patient is injected with a gel filler that smoothes the skin and removes defects. The result is instant. The downside is that after 6 months the procedure will have to be repeated, but it is quite expensive.

Injection methods for getting rid of atrophic scars are quite effective. This is evidenced by the photos before and after the procedures.

Patients note that contour plastic gives the best result, which is immediately noticeable. But after 5-6 months, the gel completely resolves, and the problem returns again.

What medicines will help get rid of scars

If the atrophic scar is quite fresh and shallow, you can get rid of it with therapeutic ointments and creams. The list of drugs that have a good effect is as follows:

Kelofibrase. Available in the form of a cream. The main component is urea, which is able to moisturize and soften the skin well. In addition, heparin is present in the composition.

It is responsible for improving blood flow in tissues. Thanks to the cream, the scar is gradually smoothed out, there is no tightening effect. Kelofibraza relieves inflammation and evens out the color of the scar;

Contractubex. Perhaps the most popular tool. The ointment has a fairly dense structure. Well moisturizes the skin, starts the process of cell regeneration, smoothes the scar. The cost fluctuates within 1000 rubles;

Dermatix. New generation drug. Available in the form of a gel. Works great on scars and scars. You need to use at least 2 times a day for several months. Can be used to treat scars in a child. Of the minuses, a rather high price can be distinguished (about 2000-2500 rubles);

Badyaga. One of the most cost-effective drugs in the treatment of scars. The average price is about 150 rubles. It has a completely natural composition. It is made from algae that grow in fresh water or rivers. It helps only in the case of small and shallow atrophic scars, for example, from acne.

Cosmetic procedures at home: is it possible to get rid of scars with them?

Treatment at home can be carried out only if atrophic scars are shallow and fresh. But even in this case, the chances of a positive result are quite small.

Below are recipes for popular masks that will help smooth out scars a little:

Mix 30 g of cosmetic clay with water until a thick mass is formed. Add 40 g of freshly squeezed lemon juice. Do not use a packaged product. Stir the mixture thoroughly, apply to the problem area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe skin. Leave for 30 minutes;

Take a few grams of mummy, mix with 100 g of regular baby cream (for example, Antoshka). Apply to the scar for 30-40 minutes. Do the procedure daily;

Melt 50 g of beeswax, add 100 g of olive or vegetable oil. Apply the mixture to gauze, attach to the scar. Keep track of the temperature. The skin of scars is tender, you can get burned.

Treatment with folk remedies is not always effective. It is better to use them in extreme cases, when there is no money or time to go to specialists.

Atrophic scars can occur for many reasons. Quite often, they appear due to improper skin care, such as squeezing pimples or unsuccessful facial cleansing. How to get rid of such defects was described above. The most correct way is to go to a consultation with a beautician. The specialist will be able to choose the right method based on the condition of the skin. Remember, home treatment does not always bring the desired results. In most cases, the condition of the scars only gets worse.

Reasons for the appearance

Scars on the face appear for several reasons:

• Postponed burn;
• Surgery;
• Due to an accident;
• Insect bites;
• Inflammation or acne.

Under favorable conditions, the healed scar has a smooth surface and does not differ in color from the adjacent skin. However, there are failures in the process of scarring and as a result the following types of scars are formed:

• bumpy;
• itchy;
• Depressed;
• Keloid;
• Painful;
• Scars that have a distorted color.

Classification

1. Normotrophic scars are a normal reaction of connective tissues to an injury. They have a light flat surface with stretch fabric. The sensitivity of such scars is normal or slightly reduced;
2. Atrophic scars appear when tissue response to injury is reduced. With a large size of scars, it is clearly seen that they are sinking;
3. If wound healing is accompanied by an inflammatory process, tissues overreact, resulting in hypertrophic scarring. Such a scar protrudes above the surface of the surrounding skin and has various sizes;
4. The appearance of keloid scars on the face is due to reduced immunity and abnormal tissue response. This happens quite rarely, but brings a lot of problems of a physical and psychological nature.

Treatment with medical methods

Regardless of which treatment you choose, you must remember that it will not be possible to completely get rid of scars, but they can be visually reduced or masked. Based on the type of scars, the specialist will prescribe a treatment program.

Correction without surgery:

• Laser

Laser treatment in cases where it is necessary to remove a hypertrophic scar on the forehead, nose or eye. Coarse connective tissue is destroyed by the laser, resulting in the formation of new elastic fibers. The treatment course lasts for 3-6 months. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. To prevent the inflammatory process, treatment is accompanied by the use of antimicrobial drugs.

• Peeling

There are two types of peeling: superficial and chemical. As a result of the procedure, the keratinized layer of the epidermis is exfoliated, its deep layers are regenerated. The skin becomes more elastic, even and has a uniform color. Peeling is used to get rid of atrophic scars on the face.

Surgical methods:

• Plastic

Removal of scars can be carried out with the help of its excision, followed by subcutaneous sutures. The contours of the scar may also be reshaped or skin grafted from other areas.

• Expander dermotension

It is used when it is required to remove a large scar on the forehead. The procedure includes two steps:

1. A silicone bag is sewn under the damaged area of ​​the skin for the introduction of saline solution, with the help of which the scars are stretched;
2. Next, the pouch is removed, the scars are excised, and healthy skin is tightened.

Which tool you choose depends on the characteristics of the scars and your wishes.

However, if your face is spoiled by a scar on your lip, but you cannot afford an expensive procedure, do not despair. You can mask the scars yourself.

Traditional medicine recipes

• Cacao butter

To increase the elasticity of the epidermis on the face and reduce scarring, the following remedy will help: apply a thick layer of cocoa butter on the skin and massage for several minutes;

• Massage

Daily massaging of the face, and especially the area where the scar is located, will help get rid of it or make it almost invisible. Make sure that the movements are smooth and careful.

• green clay

To mask the scar, prepare an ointment according to the recipe: 1 tbsp. mix green clay with warm boiled water to the consistency of thick sour cream. Add a few drops of rosemary oil. The product is applied to the scar for 25 minutes. After the required amount of time, wash off this ointment and apply a moisturizing face cream. This procedure must be performed 2 times a week. The course is at least 14 days. The mask can also be used in the treatment of lesions on the eyebrow or nose.

To speed up the treatment, this remedy can be alternated with rubbing the face with rosemary oil several times a day.

• Honey and cinnamon

A cream of honey and cinnamon, mixed in equal proportions, will help get rid of scars. This mixture is distributed on the face, and after 15 minutes it is washed off with water. This is an excellent tool to remove not only the scar, but also various spots on the nose.

• Parsley

Chopped fresh parsley is poured with hot water and infused for half an hour. The finished broth is frozen in an ice mold and daily in the morning the skin on the face is wiped with the resulting cubes. This is a great way to hide scars.

Any ointment or cream that you choose to treat facial scars on your own must be approved by your doctor. Otherwise, you will not be able to remove the scar, but will aggravate the existing situation.

Question to the beautician: “How to remove scars on the face?”

Everyone realizes the natural desire to correct existing shortcomings in appearance based on their financial capabilities. When a patient at a cosmetologist inquires about the treatment of scars on the face, he will surely hear the tempting offers of “laser resurfacing”, “mesotherapy”, “chemical peeling”. The choice will depend on the price, quality of service, contraindications and possible consequences.

The treatment of post-acne, acne scars, facial scars has its own specifics, which modern aesthetic medicine necessarily takes into account. It offers chemical peel technology, as well as other techniques that reduce the time from the start of treatment to obtaining acceptable results from 1.5–2 years to several months.

The process of "dissolving" scars with chemicals finds more and more supporters among patients of cosmetology parlors. Often the question is how to remove scars on the face in a short time. Is superficial peeling effective for deep scars? The process itself seems dangerous to some, others do not understand its essence.

Chemical peels and its benefits

Acids dissolve excess dead skin cells, activate the synthesis of elastin and collagen for normal skin. The surface of the face after chemical peeling first turns red, does not look very attractive. Then the skin brightens, evens out, becomes more elastic.

What does a person expect and receive from the procedure:

• smoothing the surface of atrophic scars;
• smoothing bulging scars;
• skin rejuvenation;
• The “emptying” of the wallet is not as noticeable as with laser resurfacing and mesotherapy.

Features of the use of ointments, gels, creams for scars

The effects of juvenile acne, furunculosis or scratches are treated with topical medications. There are enough ways to remove scars from the face using ointments, gels, creams to choose the most suitable one from them. It should be noted that the higher price of products made from natural ingredients, developed on the basis of the latest scientific achievements.

After healing of acne, wounds, spots, ruts, crater-like depressions remain. Traces of the former activity of microbes, the efforts of the body to heal wounds, any scars violate the smooth structure of the skin. The area of ​​damage often becomes the focus of the spread of the pathological process.

"Three whales" or the basics of using ointments, gels and creams for scars on the face:

1. Timely treatment of fresh scars as soon as they are covered with young epidermis.
2. Patience , because the process of removing scars sometimes lasts for years.
3. Caution when choosing a remedy for scars on the face . It is better to entrust the solution of this problem to a specialist; If you don't like his conclusions, you can always turn to other experts.

Active ingredients in ointments: is there a difference between them?

Medicines for external use can inhibit the synthesis of melanin. The active substance of Skinoren cream, azelaic acid, has such properties. When combined with arbutin, glycolic or citric acids, the cream is used to treat post-acne.

Silicone - an organosilicon compound - is recommended by international experts for the treatment of scars. If there are old “marks”, for example, a scar on the eyebrows, then Dermatix ointment is suitable. This silicone gel breaks down excess collagen, softening the affected area.

Scar guard ointment will seem unusual to many because of its liquid consistency. The medicine is applied with a brush, it contains silicone, active ingredients, vitamins. Substances act under a thin film without adverse influence of external factors. Treatment of deep scars can be completed in as little as six months.

Opponents of silicone can use the help of Sledocid cream. Contains hyaluronic acid, plant extracts, a biotechnology product (the result of the activity of baker's yeast). The whole "cocktail" is useful for restoring the skin after acne, blackheads.

Possibilities of modern technologies and scar treatment

Options for getting rid of scars enrich cryotherapy, collagen injection procedures, microdermabrasion. Sometimes patients have no choice but to turn to laser therapy or go under the knife of a plastic surgeon. An effective method for removing facial scars is laser peeling or resurfacing. This is a fractional or fragmentary elimination, in which the beam burns out the skin in small areas (not the entire surface of the scar).

Resurfacing scars on the face with a laser consists in layer-by-layer evaporation of the affected tissues. The skin reacts differently, there are excellent results, mediocre and frankly bad (“gauze effect”). The trouble is that some unscrupulous cosmetologists prefer to remain silent about the negative consequences of laser treatment.

Mesotherapists remove scars with the help of injections of amino acids, enzymes, vitamins. In fact, this procedure shortens the path of the drug to the layer of the dermis, which needs help the most. During mesotherapy, “cocktails” are delivered exactly to the scar area. The effect of injections, such as hyaluronic acid, is not eternal, like everything else in our world. Cosmetologists recommend repeating the course every 6 months.

A lot of people are wondering - is it possible? Human skin is exposed to external factors throughout life. The main purpose of the skin is to protect internal organs, therefore it often suffers on its own, receiving various injuries, as a result of which scars appear on it.

A lot of discomfort is caused by scars left after acne and boils. The skin is one of the few organs that are accessible to the human eye. That is why, her condition is treated with special attention. If the scars on the arms, on the legs, on the back can be hidden under clothing, then on the face they are always in sight.

Modern technologies in medicine offer many methods of treatment and. But, unfortunately, the cost of these procedures is quite high and not everyone can afford it. Moreover, it is almost impossible to cure a scar in 1-2 procedures. But do not despair! There are some things you can do on your own.

Whitening scars at home

With the help of bleaching, scars from acne, mosquito bites, and minor burns can be made visually almost invisible. This kind of scars are most often formed on the face and back, have normotrophic or signs, namely, they are located on the same level with healthy skin or are retracted, stand out in color.

Especially dark spots remain after acne on the back. Such scars can be easily bleached and polished at home.

Whitening folk remedies

Lemon juice will help lighten the dark spots left by acne on the face and back. Apply morning and evening for 10-15 minutes, after the time has elapsed, rinse with water. Use with caution on sensitive skin.

Apply five percent hydrogen peroxide daily in the morning and evening to the scars for 15-20 minutes, then remove with warm water.
