Skin and scar treatment : What treatment options are there?

Both injuries as well as in cosmetic surgery plays an important role in wound healing. She is disturbed, are often large and ugly scars. The medicine now has many new ways of preventing scar formation or in the case of scars already incurred, such a way that an aesthetically significantly improved picture.
 Scarring arise when injuries or surgical wounds by the upper skin layer, the epidermis, through into lower layers of skin. . In this case, a complete restoration of the skin no longer exists. for example by smooth cuts, forming a narrow, barely visible scar. .A variety of reasons, such as in large-scale injury or wound, healing can result in disturbances, during which most conspicuous scarring arise.
 
 For the prevention and treatment of such aesthetic scar deformities can now depending on the initial injury, localization and form non-operational and operational procedures for obtaining the best possible outcome effectively be combined:
 
 Compression therapy for prevention
 
 So that those affected will not suffer under excessive scarring, it is advisable for certain injuries or starting individual circumstances from the outset, preventive measures. A compression or pressure therapy may be used if the risk of the formation of hypertrophy. scarring and large proliferations (in the jargon keloids) exists. Affected are, for example, patients undergoing extensive injuries such as burns, skin disease have. Customized shirts or elastic compression stockings exert pressure on the affected skin from bodies. . The resulting lack of oxygen prevents excessive collagen formation, which cultigens scars and may lead proliferations. 
 
 
 What do scar creams, cortisone preparations and silicone gel?
 
 In many cases, however, already applying a drug or tool on the wound or fresh scar ensure that an optimal result of the wound is reached. die Vitamin A Very small and shallow scars can be used locally to apply creams and tinctures, the vitamin A or the female hormone estrogen (in women only!) That improve – provided that the funds will be applied. The application of silicone gel helps patients with a known predisposition to the training of proliferating scarring (keloids). An optimal protection against recurrence of scars, the combined use of silicone gel with operational procedures or laser surgery. Also entering from preparations into the wound can  abnormalities in the proliferating prevent scar.
 
 
 Cold treatment, peeling and lasers
 
 Even if long-term scars already exist, help is possible. EA number of methods are available to the scars structure to improve. which in principle to all forms of scarring is suitable. These are the scars by cold applications, by spraying with liquid nitrogen or by a special probe in contact practices, superficially freezes the tissue and so desolate.
 
 Can also be healed skin areas using lasers or chemical peeling smooth. For Atrophic (thin, depressed) scars are primarily of Er: YAG laser or pulsed CO2 laser used. To treat depressed acne scars offers include a medium-deep chemical peeling with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to.Often these so-called minimally invasive procedure with a local drug therapy combined.
 
 
 Cutting and milling – the operational procedures
 
 Large and deep, depressed scars can be easily removed surgically. The field will be cut out and then stitched the wound. For small deep scars which is suitable Punching technology, with the scars of the affected area . The advantage: The wound must not be stitched, but is equipped with a lockable tape. Operative corrections are also possible with bad scars histories that lead to tensions. These should be in the best possible case to a late stage after the scar to be carried out. For several far-flung, cultigens scars herds recommends the so-called dermabrasion – until the skin in the area between the upper and leather skin.
 
 
 Natural substances Injection
 
 Finally, in recent years the use of biomaterials also for the treatment of scars proved. Substances like collagen, hyaluronic acid or own fat are here on everyone’s lips. These are the scars injected area and offer the advantage of a generally very good tolerability. To an aesthetically pleasing result to maintain the applications, however, from time to time be repeated.
