What can I do to treat permanent facial scarring? I often hear from candidates complaining to me about what to do if it has scarring on the face and cannot be covered up. In fact, this kind of problem is very common in our reality: problems such as trauma, cystic thrush, chicken pox and herpes simplex virus infection can leave permanent scarring. Facial scarring can be broadly divided into two categories: atrophic and hyperproliferative. Atrophic keloid scars are broadly divided into four major categories: ice pick, compartmentalized, superficial/atrophic, and valley/roller keloid scars, which are generally treated with lasers, chemical peels, drills and fillers, etc. Different combinations of treatments can be performed depending on the characteristics of each type of scar. Proliferative keloid scars are caused by excessive proliferation of fibrous connective tissue and are mostly seen in people with keloid scars. Patients often experience itching, pain, and burning, and it can have an impact on their lives. The chin hyperplastic scar can generally be treated with a local closure therapy, where hormonal drugs are injected into the scar tissue to help flatten and soften the scar, which requires a certain course of treatment. If the generated purpura is large and patients who do not want to take injections, surgical excision can be performed, but post-operative active prevention of scar formation is required, such as the use of scar medication to prevent scar proliferation. TIPS: Several different forms of scarring may appear on any patient’s face, so treatment of facial scarring must include proper physician evaluation, status differentiation, and selection of the appropriate treatment modality. In addition, post-operative skin care products that are used after surgery can also assist in the treatment.
