Scar Treatment Options

The human body usually receives a variety of injuries, including penetrating trauma, burn trauma and blunt trauma. All of these injuries set into motion an orderly sequence of events that are involved in the healing response, in which the normal functional tissue (skin) is replaced by connective tissue (scar) and the healing response is characterized by the movement of specialized cells into the wound site.

There are a variety of different scars that can be formed after an injury has occurred. The following is a brief explanation of some of these types of scars.

What are pigmentary scars? A pigmentary scar comes as a result of multiple types of damage and can appear anywhere on the body but usually means that there is no textural alteration in the skin, but the skin is noticeably discolored relative to healthy skin color. A pigmentary scar can be light, lighter or darker or redder than the healthy skin and requires to be approached very carefully in repairing with surgical or laser methods. Caution is crucial because over-correction of the scar will produce a scar of a different color more hard to treat.

What are hormone-induced scars? Hormone-induced scars usually involve melasma hormonal pigmentary disorders, which usually occur exclusively in women but not always. And they are usually on the face but not exclusively. Also, they are extremely hard to treat. Melasma or hormonal coloration change needs very slow, step-wise reversal medically with the use of lasers and needs lifelong adequate use of sunscreen to keep clear.

How are acne scars treated? Acne scars can occur anywhere on the body, not only the face. They can be of various shapes and depth and can be treated in numerous ways: sometimes with chemical peel methods, other times with surgical scar removal laser or micro-dermabrasion procedures, and with natural topical creams. No matter of the scar or number of scars, it is a long-term process to efficiently reduce acne scar visibility.

How are animal bite scars treated? They're usually treated by blending them to the surrounding non-scar skin. Common blending includes topical medical agents to soften the scars -like rosehip oil-, followed by resurfacing laser and microdermabrasion techniques for blending surface quality. And if there is a remaining color difference then oftentimes, permanent make-up, tattooing, is employed at the end.

Is cortisone still used as a treatment for skin scars? Cortisone can be used both topically and by injection into the injury to promote better healing and scar formation reduction.

There is great artistry required for the injectible cortisone to work well and it is best done by someone who clinically does this frequently.

Topical Treatments When thinking about topical natural products we must take into account that the skin is a barrier to exterior environment and will not let all products that claim to be cosmetic or dermatological ingredients into it, in the same way as it does not allow most airborne pollutants into it.

The truth is that the skin acts as a filter to assess and determines the relationship - the user-friendliness, if you will - to the interior body itself. The skin is a very adaptable organ. It is built to adapt to the ambience so it can help to keep us alive in any given climate. The most immediate ambience to our skin is what we apply on it topically. Yes, the skin care and cosmetics we select.
