Scars

Every intervention into the tissue integrity including skin integrity leaves a scar after healing. Unfortunately no defect can be removed from the skin without leaving the scar and wounds heal with a scar too.

Scar treatment requires right judgement of the dermatologist when choosing the appropriate method or combination of methods. Therefore the scar treatment is very difficult and depends on many factors.

What is the effect of the procedure?

No medications and no treatment even the most advanced can remove the scar absolutely; we only try to improve its condition. Hypotrophic scars as a result of acne show 50 % improvement.

The latest method is repeated treatment with the fraction CO2 laser.

When should we start with the scar treatment?

Scar treatment is recommended to start when the scar is forming. In the case of red hypertrophic scars emerging after surgeries the best is to start 2 to 3 weeks after stitches are removed.

How should we look after the scars?

Scar tissue differs very clearly from neighbouring skin tissue. It is annoying aesthetically for the patients and it also requires special care. It is very important to protect scars from sunlight by sunbathing creams with high sun protection factor.
