How to remove stitch scars

When our bodies are traumatized and left with wounds, they often need to be repaired with stitches. Sutures are very effective in healing wounds, but they can easily leave scars, especially those in obvious areas, which have a great impact on one's image. Methods of eliminating them have become a major concern. So, how to remove stitches scars? Let’s take a closer look below.

The dermabrasion method involves applying a cooling agent to the affected area to numb the skin and firm its surface, which is then abraded with a rotating stainless steel wheel studded with tiny industrial diamonds. The raised edges of the scar can be smoothed, and the base can also be smoothed, so that the center is enlarged and the skin surface is flattened. The rubbing method can turn a deep box into a flat valley. Fat Injections Deep scars caused by fat loss can be healed with fat injections. This is sometimes called a lipoinjection. In this treatment, fat is surgically removed from another part of the body, rinsed, and then injected into the scar to create fat growth there. This healing effect usually lasts 6 to 12 months. Chemical peels are mild or superficial peels—just the top layer of skin cells is gently removed—using either trichloroacetic acid or an alpha-hydroxy acid treatment. For very severe acne, doctors use phenol peels, which are usually performed by a plastic surgeon under general anesthesia. For common scars, you can ask your doctor to perform a trichloroacetic acid peel. These peels are very effective in healing pit-like scars. Punch excision is a treatment method that is very effective for narrow, deep, "ice pick" scars. The doctor uses a circular, cutter-like chisel to cut the scar away and then sews the edges together.

Note: Surgical sutures usually leave suture scars. Once scars are formed, it is difficult to completely eliminate them, and we can only prevent and treat them as early as possible. The following points should be noted in preventing and treating stitch scars: ① After the wound has scabbed, the scab cannot be forcibly removed, but it should be waited for to fall off naturally, in order to avoid the wound losing the protection of the hard scab and forming scars and causing pigmentation. At the same time, after the scabs on the wound fall off, you should also pay attention to sun protection to prevent the new skin from being exposed to the sun and causing pigmentation. In addition, patients should also pay attention to avoid consuming irritating or dark-pigmented foods such as chili peppers, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and wine in their daily diet to avoid scar hyperplasia and pigmentation. In order to promote wound healing, patients can eat more fruits and vegetables. If the wound is large, they should supplement vitamin C appropriately. ② Patients should also use cosmetics with caution during the recovery period, because some cosmetics contain a large amount of chemical substances, which are very likely to irritate the wound and affect its normal healing. If the scar formed after the wound heals does affect the appearance, it can be removed through surgery. However, when performing the operation, you must choose a regular hospital and an experienced doctor to avoid lifelong regrets caused by improper surgery.
