After a wound or trauma, the body’s natural healing process can lead to a scar. Injuries, from small cuts and scrapes to serious burns and surgery-related trauma, can leave a lasting scar if not given proper treatment.
Depending on the severity of the wound, skin type, and healing capabilities of a person, scars can come in many forms. The most common ones include:
Acne scars are the most common type of scars. They occur when acne breakouts go untreated. Generally, these blemishes appear small and pitted.
Atrophic scars are sunken, depressed scars that are caused by collagen loss. Atrophic scars or uneven scars occur when the skin is unable to regenerate.
Excess collagen production leads to the formation of abnormal scars, commonly known as hypertrophic scars and keloids. These raised, thickened marks occur due to increased tissue growth.
Scar revision is an effective method that not only reduces the appearance of scars but also diminishes pain, itching, and other discomforts that occur with scar formation. Scar revision includes surgery, laser treatments, chemical peels, fillers, or microdermabrasion treatments.
Scar management can benefit almost anyone who has a scar, yet certain individuals may gain more from the process. Those likely to benefit most include people with:
During your consultation with Dr. Vashisht Dikshit for scar revision, the doctor will closely examine the scar and inquire about its formation. Additionally, Dr. Vashisht may request information regarding your medical history and discuss what you wish to gain from the treatment plan. Upon compiling this data, the doctor will devise a custom treatment plan tailored exclusively for you!
When it comes to scars, the most suitable revision method depends on various factors such as size, location, and personal preferences of the patient. Fortunately, there are a multitude of strategies available for scar treatment that can be tailored specifically to each individual’s needs.
Some common techniques used for scar revision include:
Scar revision surgery is an effective way to aesthetically improve the appearance of a scar, whether that means removing it altogether, making it smaller in size, or altering its shape.
Lasers are used often in scar revision treatments, as they can help to accelerate the improvement of skin tone, color, and texture. They are also useful for preventing abnormally large scars from forming or correcting already existing ones. Dr. Vashisht Dikshit uses the revolutionary RecoSMA Laser from LINLINE for scar revision. With the RecoSMA Laser, even keloids fully disappear after a few sessions!
A chemical peel is a procedure that uses a concoction of chemicals to slough off the top layer of dull, old skin. This allows for smoother and less wrinkled skin to replace the damaged upper top layer. Its benefits are multifold as it can not only reduce wrinkles but also diminish scars brought about by prior damage or blemishes on the surface.
Through the painless insertion of tiny needles, microneedling triggers your body’s natural healing process, stimulating elastin and collagen production. This non-surgical treatment can effectively reduce scar visibility without any surgery or downtime!
During platelet-rich plasma therapy (PRP), a small amount of blood is extracted from the patient. Then, the platelets are segregated and injected into scar tissues to activate collagen production; this should ultimately improve the appearance of any scars present.
By utilizing a mildly abrasive device, microdermabrasion can slough away the dead cells of your skin’s outer layer to uncover softer, smoother skin beneath. This will help to reduce scarring and enhance the look and feel of your skin.
To reduce the visibility of scars, various fillers such as collagen and hyaluronic acid fillers can be used in scar revision treatments to plump up any depressions left in the skin. This helps to create a smoother texture and improve their overall appearance for a more natural look.
The recovery after scar revision varies depending on the type of procedure performed.
Taking some time to rest and recuperate is fundamental following scar revision surgery. The amount of downtime needed depends on the extent of the procedure, as well as your healing capabilities.
No downtime is needed after RecoSMA Laser treatment.
After undergoing chemical peels, microneedling, or microdermabrasion treatments, you may experience some slight redness and swelling for a few days.
Following the injection of fillers, it is common to experience some minor bruising and swelling that typically resolves after a few days.
It is also recommended to limit sun exposure and apply sunscreen after undergoing these treatments.
