If you're thinking about scar removal surgery, here's what you should know







Surgery, burns, wounds and inflammatory processes can lead to various scars spreading. Scars are classified as hypertrophic, keloid and atrophic scars and scars of acne. For each type of scar, different treatments are used. The development of scar removal treatment in Chennai has led to the progression of lasers to improve all types of scars.

Acne is physically exhausting in and of itself! However, the visible scars they left behind are causing you more anxiety? The good news is that these scars can usually be handled. Before you begin any procedures, you must first gain a thorough understanding of your skin.

What does Acne Scarring mean?

Acne scars are the outcome of blocked pores in the skin. The blockage causes the pores to swell, thus causing a rupture of the follicle wall. Deep or low lesions will be created that appear prominently on the skin.

Why are there so many scars?

The appearance of a scar is also influenced by the depth, place, and design of a skin wound. When your skin is torn, the body encourages the formation of new tissue by assembling collagen and other natural substances to fill the void left by the wound. This new skin has a different texture and colour than the old skin, and it should form a ridge or a hump over the wound site, increasing the visibility of the scar.

When the underlying support system is weakened or lost, a dimple or pit may develop. This is common with acne, but it can also happen with other wounds, such as surgical incisions. Scarring is also described as skin discoloration that persists after an acne breakout.

What treatments to remove scars are available?

Our patients are sometimes surprised to learn that the best cure for scar removal is to create a new one. The target with the new scar, on the other hand, is to use a surgical approach and closure technique that leaves minimal scarring, which is sometimes nearly invisible. Following the revision process, we combine this with a variety of topical treatments that aid in healing and reduce the risk of scarring.

Scar revision surgery differs depending on the features of the original scar. As an example, after an incision to remove an old scar, I'll suggest a flap closure to reposition the scar so it's less visible. Skin grafting to replace vast areas of damaged tissue or a layered closure that repairs the subdermal layers as well as the surface skin are examples of other approaches.

Topical treatments that help cure the skin quickly and reduce abnormalities include gels, collagen strips and external compression. Injections of steroid-based substances can also be recommended to minimise collagen production and to prevent the development of keloids or dermal fillers in concave scars.
