Hello!

They are sometimes a sad memory of accidents or surgeries. Some stay with us for life, others become practically invisible from day to day. Scars, because that’s what I am talking about, can be completely or partially reduced. In aesthetic medicine, there are plenty of treatments to remove these marks on the skin.

What exactly are scars?

The scars appear as a result of the natural process of wound healing. Their size and speed of healing depend on what hs caused it, the method of skin regeneration, the size and time in which we will take care of the skin. Some people think that scars can be completely removed, others say something totally opposite. One thing is certain: scars can be treated, by undergoing some cosmetic procedures.

Methods of removing scars

The most popular ways of getting rid of scars include:

• microdermabrasion – it is designed to help reduce post-acne scars. The procedure consists in exfoliating dead skin cells with the use of a diamond or corundum head. Thanks to microdermabrasion, the skin is smoothed, firmed, regenerates faster and regains its natural colour. For optimal results, you should undergo about 10 treatments performed every 2 or 3 weeks;
• dermabrasion – it is aimed to reduce deeper scars. During the treatment, the outer layers of the dermis are being exfoliated. Therefore, it is necessary to use local anaesthesia and afterwards, the skin can be irritated. In some cases, a sterile dressing is used. The effects are visible after about two months;
• laser therapy – it is used to remove large and overgrown scars. The laser light damages the epidermis, which regenerates itself. The procedure is performed with local anaesthesia. The skin after the laser therapy is swollen and strongly inflamed, and the healing process lasts up to three months. Usually, one treatment is sufficient to achieve positive effects;
• chemical peel – it is able to reduce minor scars that appear on the skin surface. The treatment consists in dissolving the layers of the epidermis with a special preparation. Thanks to this, the skin regenerates faster, regains elasticity and its natural colour.
