What is Scar removal and how is it performed?
A scar is a visible mark left on the skin after an injury, surgery, or other trauma has occurred. It is a natural part of the healing process and is formed when the body produces new collagen fibers to repair the damaged skin tissue. Scars can vary in size, shape, and color, and may be raised or depressed depending on the severity of the injury and the type of scar tissue that forms. The scar can make people feel very conscious and they might even wish to opt for scar removal to make them feel confident. People opt for cosmetic removal of scars when the methods like scar removal cream and medications fail to deliver the results and also when they want to remove the scars quickly expecting permanent results.Â
When you should opt for a scar removal procedure?
A scar removal procedure may be considered if you have a scar that is causing you physical or emotional discomfort, affecting your self-esteem, or interfering with your daily activities. Here are some situations where scar removal may be an option:
- Keloid or hypertrophic scars: If you have keloid or hypertrophic scars that are raised, thick, and discolored, a scar removal procedure may be considered to flatten and improve the appearance of the scar.
- Contracture scars: Contracture scars are often the result of burns and can restrict movement and cause discomfort. Scar removal procedures such as skin grafting or skin flap surgery may be considered to improve mobility and reduce discomfort.
- Acne scars: If you have acne scars that are affecting your self-esteem and confidence, scar removal procedures such as laser resurfacing, dermabrasion, or chemical peels may be considered to improve the appearance of the scars.
- Traumatic scars: Traumatic scars can be caused by accidents or injuries and may cause emotional distress. Scar removal procedures may be considered to improve the appearance of the scar and alleviate emotional distress.
How do we perform scar removal procedures at the dezire clinic?
At our Dezire clinic, we use the most advanced method to get rid of that unwanted scar from your body. Among various methods available in the market, we use the latest laser technology and excision method to perform scar removal.
- Laser scar removal method-Â
- Before opting for the procedure you get to talk to our medical counselors where you can show the pictures of your scar and on the basis of your picture we decide the cost and the right diagnosis for your scar.
- On the day of your procedure, we will apply a numbing solution on your scar that needs to be treated by laser.
- Laser treatment: During the laser treatment, the laser is directed at the scar tissue, delivering intense pulses of light energy that penetrate the skin and break down the scar tissue. The laser energy also stimulates the production of collagen, a protein that helps to repair and regenerate skin tissue.
- Cooling: After each laser pulse, the skin is cooled with a cooling device to minimize discomfort and protect the surrounding tissue.
- If the scar is anywhere near your face, then you might have to wear protective eyeglasses to protect your eyes from the laser rays.
- Healthy skin surrounding your scar will be protected with the help of towels to avoid any damage to those parts.
- Recovery: After the treatment, the skin may be red and swollen, and there may be some discomfort. Patients can usually return to their daily activities immediately after the procedure but should avoid direct sunlight and use sunscreen to protect the treated area.
- Skin excision method-
Skin excision is a surgical method of scar removal that involves removing the scar tissue by cutting it out of the skin. When the laser scar removal method is inefficient in removing the scars then our surgeon suggests you opt for the skin excision method. Here is how skin excision works:
- Evaluation: The first step in the skin excision process is to undergo an evaluation with our medical professional to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
- Preparation: Before the procedure, the skin is cleaned, and local anesthesia is applied to numb the area and minimize discomfort.
- Incision: The scar tissue is then cut out of the skin using a surgical scalpel. The size and shape of the incision depend on the size and location of the scar.
- Closure: After the scar tissue is removed, the remaining skin edges are carefully aligned and closed with sutures, staples, or adhesive strips.
- Recovery: After the procedure, the skin may be red and swollen, and there may be some discomfort. Patients are usually advised to avoid strenuous activity and to keep the area clean and dry during the healing process.
