Scar Treatment

Table of Contents

Scar treatment is applied to facilitate healing of scarring that can occur in any area of the skin due to various causes. The appearance caused by the accident or the surgery scar can be distressing for many people. Scar treatment is very effective in getting rid of the scars which can affect the person psychologically. To completely erase the scars is a bit more difficult. Nonetheless, with the right treatment, the scars can be eliminated or made invisible.

Everyone's skin is different and has different properties. When it comes to skin tension lines, healing from cuts varies. Muscles can cause negative effects which may result in scarring. There is also the situation of cuts healing slower due to muscles. Usually the scarring on relaxed skin has a higher tendency to heal better than incision scars.

Factors that affect the formation of scars can vary. Scars can be left on the skin due to accidents, surgery, or other causes. Depending on the location of the body, the structure of the skin, and the methods used, scars will appear differently in certain parts of the skin. However, scar treatment can be applied to all types of wound marks. There is not much difference between the scars caused by surgery and those caused by accidents.

Who Can Have Scar Treatment?

If you are considering getting a scar treatment, you should first understand that it does not matter where the scar is on your body. Scar treatment can be applied to the face but also to different areas of your body where positive results can also be achieved. However, some areas may respond better to scar treatments than others, and you may need to wait longer for a desired result in certain areas.

Scar treatment for the disappearance of the scar requires that you have no health problems. The procedure to be performed in order to eliminate the scar is only done to those who will not have any problem due to this aesthetic operation. Of course, there are also people for whom scar treatment is not recommended, like in any surgery.

It is generally not recommended to have scar treatment for pregnant women. If you are considering having scar treatment, you should first wait for childbirth to pass. Scar treatment is also not a practice recommended for breastfeeding women. For breastfeeding women to have scar treatment, the breastfeeding period should pass first. Then, you can consult a specialist to get information about the process.

In the scar treatment processes, personalized methods are determined for the person. Especially in laser treatment, the condition of the patient is looked first of all. During the examination, it is understood whether the treatment is suitable or not. The hormone levels of the person is one of the factors taken into consideration in scar treatment. Therefore the person's hormones are looked at and the suitable method for the treatment is determined. That is, if you are not affected by any health problem related to the treatment.

Methods of Scar Treatment

Several different methods are available for scar treatment. The method to be applied is determined according to the option suitable for that region. Generally, the methods of scar treatment are as follows:

  • Surgical Treatment: A method used to treat poorly healing scars. Scar treatment is done by re-extracting and stitching the scar. However, there is a high chance of leaving a scar again, so protective measures are taken. It is important to keep track of the condition after scar treatment.
  • Compression Therapy: It is possible to treat scarring with special compression systems and a silicone sheet.
  • Cortisone Application: Cortisone is used to reduce the scars. It usually lasts for several sessions.
  • Fractional Laser: A method of scar treatment using laser. Raised and dark colored marks are reduced to the skin level. Healing process is achieved with opened wounds.

Methods mentioned above are determined according to the scar condition present in the body and where it is located. Laser method is usually applied for small-scale wounds among scar treatments. Scar treatment is quite effective for marks existing in any part of the body. From the face region to arms and legs, scar treatment with laser is an appropriate option for the region where wounds marks are present.

It is possible to get rid of the scar with one of these methods, but a certain period of time is necessary to start the process. At least 6 months should pass after the wound healing for the scar treatment to be applied. However, the scar treatment may not be applied immediately. This is due to the fact that the scar needs to fully mature. When the scar is in its full form, the scar treatment applied can give better results.

How is Scar Treatment Done?

The methods to be applied for scar treatment vary. However, what needs to be known before scar treatment is that it is hard for every wound to heal completely. Depending on the area of the wound or the method of treatment, the phases of complete elimination of the scar may vary. The scar treatment to be applied is determined after the examination of the doctor. According to this, the treatment process starts with the appropriate information given.

In answer to the question "How is surgical scar treatment done?", the first step is to remove the scar by cutting it out of the body. Anesthesia is used in this treatment so that the patient does not feel any pain during the scar treatment. This method is generally preferred to get rid of wide and swollen scars under the skin.

Laser scar therapy is usually a method applied for smaller scars. The patient does not feel any pain or discomfort during this scar treatment. Several sessions are required to achieve success in scar treatment. The number of sessions depends on the patient and the condition of the scar. It is known as the most preferred method, laser therapy.

The duration of scar treatment varies depending on the person. This is due to the type of treatment administered. The skin type of the person is also important in the healing process. If regular check-ups are done, it can be determined how effective the treatment is. Depending on the case, the scar can be completely removed with treatment. However, sometimes it is not possible for the scar to disappear completely. Instead, its color can fade to the point it is no longer visible.

Before Scar Treatment, What Should Be Taken into Consideration?

There are certain things that patients need to be mindful of before scar treatment is carried out. These are important for achieving better results with scar treatment. Additionally, they help to minimize the risk of complications occurring after scar treatment. Generally speaking, the considerations to be made before treatment are as follows:

  • Before wound scar treatment, it is important to report any health issue that may prevent the healing of the skin tissue to the doctor.
  • If there is an allergy to the products used, it should be reported to the specialist.
  • Research should be done on whether the products used during scar treatment can harm the skin tissue.
  • It is important to clean the skin before wound scar treatment, but it should not be completely dry.
  • The patient should not smoke for a few days before treatment as it affects the healing speed of the skin.
  • It is advisable to start eating healthily. A good diet provides an opportunity for the skin to heal faster in the future.
  • Regular use of supplementary medicine recommended by the doctor is beneficial for the skin healing process.

Shortly, it is important to adopt a healthy lifestyle before treating a scar. Good results can be achieved if care is taken beforehand. However, if due care is not taken, you may encounter negative circumstances in the healing process. It will be beneficial to follow the above recommendations in order to avoid situations such as the non-disappearance of the traces. If you follow the information given by your doctor, your chances of achieving the expected effect will increase.

Post-Scar Treatment Precautions

Precautions should be taken after the scar treatment to obtain the expected result. First and foremost, keeping the skin clean is of great importance during the healing process. You should wash your skin according to the doctor's recommendation. At the same time, make sure not to neglect using the moisturizers provided by the doctor to keep the skin from drying out.

It is important to protect the skin from the harmful rays of the sun, especially after skin treatment. To prevent exposure to these rays, your choice of clothing should be correct. In addition, it is recommended to protect your skin with sunscreens given by the doctor. You should follow the doctor's instructions on cream. Otherwise, if you use a cream that is not correct, bigger problems may occur on the skin.

After scar treatment, another important factor is nutrition. You should consume foods which contain sufficient amounts of minerals, proteins and vitamins. Additionally, if you are a smoker, you should quit, because smoking slows down healing process following scar treatment. It may even cause scar tissues to form again in the body. Your chances of a better outcome will increase with a healthy diet routine. Also, you can incorporate light exercises into your healthy lifestyle.

Is Scar Treatment Permanent?

Due to the varied techniques used in scar treatment, it is not possible to definitively state if the procedure is permanent. Depending on the area and type of treatment, the scar may completely disappear. In addition, the scar may diminish to a point where it is not visible to the naked eye.

The scar healing process is also an important factor in terms of its permanence. The healing process of the scar varies depending on its depth, size, and darkness. For example, a large and deep scar may not disappear completely. However, due to scar treatment, it can become invisible to the naked eye. In some cases, the scar tissue may completely disappear.

How Many Sessions Does Scar Treatment Last?

Many people are curious about the session duration for scar treatment procedures. The scar treatment session duration varies depending on the type and size of the wound. Thin and superficial scars may heal with fewer sessions. However, thicker scars may require treatment over a longer period of time. The session duration may also vary depending on the treatment method applied.

Surgery treatments generally take a shorter amount of time for a session. Treatment may be completed in a single session or just several sessions. Laser, micro-needling, and peeling are typical treatments that require prolonged treatment times. How long the scar treatment process will take can be determined after a doctor's examination. Your doctor will provide you with the necessary information on this matter.

Scar Treatment Prices

People with scars can completely get rid of the problem with scar treatment for various reasons. However, the most inquired about subject concerning the topic is scar treatment prices. Many people can get this treatment done without exceeding their budget. Nevertheless, there are some factors that determine the prices. Firstly, scar treatment prices change according to certain factors.

The primary reason for the price variation in scar treatment is the clinics. Each clinic sets its own price. Therefore, when doing a doctor search you can get information about the prices. If you contact Yücel Sarıaltın, you will be given price information. At this stage, you need to have a physical examination first. Because, depending on the examination, the scar treatment method will be determined.

The price changes for scar treatment can also be attributed to the method of treatment applied. For scar treatment through the wound healing process, personalized methods must be employed. For example, scar treatment done through surgical procedures may be more costly than other methods. Factors such as the region of the scar and its depth can also have an influence on determining the prices.

The price of skin treatments such as peeling and laser applied for scar treatment varies depending on the session intervals. If the session time increases, it is expected that the price will go up.
