How to remove surgical scars

It is inevitable that a person will have one or two major surgeries in his or her lifetime, but the damage left behind cannot be underestimated. Especially the scars left after the operation are glaring, not matching other skin, and easily remind people of the past when looking at them. There are many ways to eliminate scars, whether external or internal treatments. The following also introduces some ways to remove surgical scars.

Scar removal surgery method

1. Laser scar removal. Laser scar removal is a surgery that uses lasers of different wavelengths to selectively remove scars without damaging the skin. The light penetrates the dermis, turning the pigment particles into powder, making them jump higher and larger, and then they are absorbed and cleared by macrophages. If the tattoo pattern is darker in color, it can be repeated many times, constantly changing the wavelength of the light.

2. Scar removal surgery. The principle of scar removal surgery is to smooth the epidermis of the uneven scar, and then through the wound healing process, new epidermis will grow again, making the scar blurred and improving its appearance. However, scar removal can only be limited to a safe depth. It is powerless for scars that are too deep. It is necessary to consider other methods to improve scars or comprehensive treatments. Deep scar grinding is suitable for improving deeper scars. It uses a high-speed rotating metal brush or diamond grinder to grind the scars flat.

The wound care after deep scar removal is more troublesome and takes longer to recover. During the recovery period, there may be some redness or pigmentation of the scar for several months.

3. Topical medications. Topical ointments are applied to the scar area, and their uses are limited to moisturizing and softening, stopping scars, reducing inflammation and redness, and fading pigmentation, thereby improving and beautifying the appearance of scars, but they cannot truly "remove scars".

As for the fruit acid used for beauty care, since it can improve skin texture, can it also smooth out ugly acne scars on the face? In fact, fruit acid, especially at high concentrations (>10%), has the property of stimulating the proliferation of dermal collagen, restoring the skin's elasticity and thus flattening the uneven acne scars. However, it must be used continuously for several months to be effective, and it is only limited to shallow scars and has no effect on deeper scars.
