Removal of scars and scars by laser and ointments

They often remain after a pathology suffered in childhood and cause discomfort due to their ugly appearance. Laser removal of scars and scars is considered the most effective method of combating the problem, but cosmetologists and dermatologists claim that in many cases special drugs can be dispensed with.

Laser against scars

Laser therapy has long been successfully used in cosmetology and is considered the most effective in solving the problem of scars and scars. This procedure is designed to get rid of both fresh and old disorders of the aesthetic appearance of the skin.

Features of the laser procedure:

  1. If scars have appeared after removing moles on the face, they can be removed with the help of a neodymium laser. This is a safe procedure, healthy cells of the dermis are not damaged - the laser acts point-wise.
  2. Laser removal of keloid scars after surgery is carried out in several stages. Usually 5-7 procedures are enough, after which the keloid scar becomes less pronounced. Doctors warn that it will not be possible to completely get rid of a keloid scar.
  3. Removal of scars after acne and acne is a procedure that is performed not only in specialized clinics, but also in beauty salons. The cosmetologist selects the penetration depth of the laser beam to prevent damage to healthy facial tissues. If such scars appeared recently, the skin becomes smooth and even after 1-2 procedures. With longer existence of scars after acne, you will need 2-3 courses of laser therapy for 5-7 procedures.
  4. Grinding of skin stretch marks with a CO2 laser is the only cosmetic procedure that eliminates aesthetic problems of the abdominal skin that occur in the postpartum period. It can be performed on other areas of the skin. This procedure is practiced even during the period of breastfeeding - the earlier the treatment is started, the more effective it will be.

It is necessary to observe certain rules of the recovery period. Redness and slight swelling of the tissues affected by the laser disappear in a short time, and the next day after the procedure, a person can lead a normal life. However, during the first week you should:

  • avoid wearing tight underwear - although this recommendation applies not only to the rehabilitation period after the removal of postoperative scars by fractional laser on the body and other methods of correction of scars and scars;
  • refuse from thermal procedures - visiting a bathhouse, sauna, taking a hot bath, steaming the face are prohibited, but a warm shower is allowed;
  • refuse from body lotions and tonics that contain alcohol;
  • avoid exposure to direct sunlight on the laser-treated area - before going outside, apply a cream with a high degree of ultraviolet protection;
  • regularly use moisturizing and nourishing creams - especially if scars have been removed on the face.

Ointment for resorption of scars

Special topical medications are not always effective in the fight against scars. Their effectiveness depends on how long ago the scar was formed, its size and degree of bulging above the skin, and so on. It is advisable to consult a cosmetologist or dermatologist first, the specialist will prescribe a certain remedy.

One of the most effective is Dermatix scar resorption ointment - it has a gel structure, is economical in consumption, lightens the scar and makes it smaller. "Spenko", "Keto-kol", "Xerogel" and other ointments have the same properties. These preparations contain silicone and components with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.

Any ointments are used in compliance with the rules:

  • apply to the problem area 1-2 times a day;
  • the applied layer should not be thick;
  • the product should not be rubbed into the skin - it should be applied in a thin layer.

In parallel with the use of drugs, cosmetologists recommend peeling procedures once a week - cleaning the upper layer of the skin from dead cells. For this, it is better to use homemade masks with ingredients that contain fruit acids. This procedure is gentle and effective.

When using ointments, the scars are absorbed within 6-12 months. But after 2 months of regular use of ointments, the first results will be noticeable.
