1.Scar cream, scar patch.
If you prevent hyperplasia, the effect of silicones is relatively better, and after coating, it will form a protective film on the ** to block the evaporation of water on the ** surface and inhibit the growth of scars.
When to use it?
It is recommended that you start using it after the wound heals, generally for three to five days after the wound is off or 5-7 days after the suture is removed after surgery. You can apply scar patches during the day, in addition to light scars, it can also protect from the sun and prevent pigmentation, and apply high scars at night, and the effect will be better if you use them alternately.
2.Stretch sleeve, compression garment.
After the knee and wrist are injured, because they are joints, there are more activities and tension, and it is very easy to proliferate if the care is not good.
When to use it?
It is divided into two situations, one is early prevention, such as burns and scalds after healing or scars on the limbs, it is recommended to start to adhere to pressure at an early stage**, which can have a good effect on preventing bulges. The other is that for the scars that have grown and raised, you can also use the method of compression** to reduce and improve the protrusion.
3.Laser**.
It mainly uses the selective photothermal action of light to select a laser instrument with a suitable wavelength to seal the hyperplasia capillaries and soften the raised scar. Common scar lasers for raised and reddening are: M22 photorejuvenation, ultra-pulsed laser pads, etc.
When to do it?
Here's an emphatic point of emphasis: prevention is more important than **!It is recommended that early laser intervention can be considered during the period of 3-6 months, and if the scar is more serious, it is also recommended that you should actively consult the doctor about the repair of the scar after the sutures are removed or after the wound heals for about 1 month
4.Scar softening needles.
The main ingredients of the scar injection are some drugs containing glucocorticoids and anti-tumor components, such as triamcinolone acetonide, Diprosone, 5-fluorourinami, etc., which can inhibit the proliferation of fibroblasts and collagen synthesis in the bruises, so that the raised scar will gradually soften and flatten, and the symptoms of itching and pain will be reduced accordingly.
When to do it?
This is generally done 3-6 months after the wound heals, and it is only for hypertrophic and raised scars or small and scattered keloids, if your scar does not have raised symptoms, it is not recommended for everyone. In addition, there is a high probability of a single injection**, and it is necessary to cooperate with radiotherapy if necessary.
5.Surgery**.
The scar is directly excised by surgical excision and then sutured, which is more effective for scars with larger area, longer time and more severe hyperplasia.
If your scar is relatively large, the hyperplasia and convex time is relatively long, and there is still no improvement after more than 6 months, or you have high requirements for aesthetics, you can consider the surgical method to do ultra-reduced fine cosmetic sutures, and do a good job of postoperative care, which is a thin linear scar.
If the scar hyperplasia is more severe, or keloids, then the above methods may not be effective for you, a single injection, laser or surgery is very easy** need to cooperate with radiotherapy to inhibit scar hyperplasia and prevent scarring**. At present, the best method: injection with shallow release, surgery with shallow release or isotope.
