What are Surgical and Traumatic Scars?
They are scars that are formed as a result of a major surgery or accidents like cuts and burns. When you undergo a surgery, which involves a lot of sutures and staples, you are likely to have a scar in the region. Similarly, large cuts and burns and compound fractures can also result in prominent scars in the affected area.
Traumatic scars are formed in the same manner as acne scars or any other type of scars for that matter. Your skin produces collagen fibers as part of the natural wound healing process. The way the collagen tissues are aligned, however, is different from the way normal skin tissues are aligned. Also, in most cases, the amount of collagen produced by your skin is either too little or too much, which results in the formation of atrophic and hypertrophic scars.
Is it Possible to Remove Surgical and Traumatic Scars?
Yes, it is possible to reduce and remove surgical and traumatic scars to a great extent. While natural remedies and topical applications are not effective in such cases, cosmetic procedures like dermabrasion, chemical peeling, and laser treatment are known to deliver results.
Dermabrasion is a process in which the upper layer of the skin is scrapped away, allowing new skin tissues to form and replace the affected area. Chemical peeling is a similar process in which a chemical solution is used to peel away the upper layer of the skin. These procedures are generally recommended to treat scars on the face.
To treat scars that cover a large area, in other parts of the body, laser treatment is considered the best choice.
How Does Laser Scar Removal Treatment Work?
In this process, targeted laser beams are used to break down the tissues in the scarred region. The laser penetrates your skin, remodels the collagen fibers concentrated in the scarred area, and also triggers the production of new collagen fibers. As a result, the scars diminish greatly and your skin tone and texture improves considerably.
Surgical and traumatic scars often require a number of laser treatments, as the scars cannot be removed at the very first attempt. The duration of each session and the number of sessions usually depends on the type and extent of scars you have and your skin type.
