The most effective cosmetic treatments for scars

The process of healing the skin after deep injuries is almost always accompanied by the formation of scar tissue.

There are several types of scars: keloid, hypertrophic, normotrophic and atrophic.

Depending on how the skin fibroblasts cope with their main task and how much they produce elastin and collagen fibers, the type and condition of the formed scar depends. The choice of scar treatment method depends on the type of skin scarring. Keloid and hypertrophic scars are voluminous and protrude above the skin, atrophic – sunken, and normotrophic are located on the same level with the skin.

Normotrophic and atrophic scars: structural features

Very many patients with scars on their skin turn to aesthetic medicine specialists for help. In order to choose the right scar treatment method, it is necessary to determine what type of scarring the patient has:

normotrophic scars – this is the most favorable option for healing deep skin lesions. Such scars are pale in color, located on the same level with the skin and are almost invisible on it. It is recommended to remove them only in cases where the defects are on the open parts of the patient's body, are large and cause discomfort to the person;
Atrophic scars are formed in places where the skin is stretched or affected by inflammation. They have a sunken appearance and a pale or light pink color, and are also characterized by loose skin in the area of the scar.

peelings – make it possible to remove epidermal cells and even out the relief of the skin;
microdermabrasion – means skin resurfacing with a special nozzle with micro-diamond microcrystals;
topical application of products that contain biologically active substances and enhance microcirculation, affect the processes of collagen production and eliminate formed scars;
cryotherapy – ultra-low temperatures affect vascular tone and accelerate trophism and tissue metabolism processes;
