Scars can be an embarrassment, and can cause discomfort if exposed to sunlight, hot water or harsh chemicals. They occur when the skin is torn or cut, burned or tattooed, and naturally-occurring collagen in your body steps in to fill the tear or hole and heal the wound. As a protein that comprises much of your skin and scar tissue, the collagen fibers that make up a scar are more numerous and visible than those of surrounding undamaged skin.
There are many ways to approach lessening the appearance of unsightly scars.
Natural treatments for scars include common sense remedies such as avoidance of sunlight, or the application of over-the-counter scar treatment products like softening lotions to minimize the hardness and unevenness of the scar. Your scarred skin is slightly different than regular skin; however, it responds to most regular skin products with varying degrees of success.
There are many products that can be tried at home before committing to a drastic alternative like painful and expensive surgery. An over the counter gel or cream can sometimes have excellent results on all types of scars. The older and deeper the scar, the longer the treatments might take, but they are fairly easy to apply and do not hurt. Try it to see if you are sensitive to it; if so, limit use to suit your own needs and to avoid undue irritation.
Silicone patches, like ones made by InvisiScar can also provide a huge amount of relief from scars. InvisiScar’s success rate is over 95%, and they use a fairly low impact method. The patches can be cut to fit your personal scar, creating the ideal environment to reduce and eliminate your scar. The combination of silicone’s ability to break down fiberous tissue in the patch format which deprives the tissue of oxygen provides the perfect one-two punch to help significantly reduce the appearance of all types of scars. When combined with a cream or gel, silicone patches have an astounding success rate with scar removal. In extreme cases, surgical intervention may be required. These methods involve laser treatment or plastic surgery, where a doctor will take part of other skin on your body and replace the scar tissue with it. Also available with administration by a physician, are collagen and steroid injections. These injections seek to minimize the visibility and roughness of scars by breaking down the scar tissue. A doctor can advise you if surgical intervention is advised, but often times the simple application of over-the-counter scar treatment products will produce the results you desire.
Consult a general practitioner and have them recommend a good dermatologist or plastic surgeon so that you may receive specialized treatment for your particular scar type. Every scar is different, and most scars don’t require surgical intervention.
