After spending thousands of dollars, the scar on her right arm was not only not eliminated, but the good skin around the scar was depressed and became more and more unsightly, which made Ms. Cheng sad for some days. Ms. Cheng’s encounter is not an isolated phenomenon, like her, there are few people who once believed that injections and drugs can completely remove scars and receive treatment, and the actual value of those injections or drugs is actually ten times or even dozens of times lower than the asking price of some clinics. Ms. Cheng recently went to the burn and cosmetic surgery department of PLA Hospital 254, hoping to get rid of the scar on her right arm through surgery, but the doctor told her after examination that because she had excessively applied and injected hormone-containing drugs some time ago, these drugs failed to get rid of the scar, but because of the role of inhibiting cellular anabolism, the surrounding normal skin cells were also damaged, resulting in depressions and thinning, making it very difficult to perform surgery. The difficulty of performing surgery is great. Yao Qingjun, director of the burn plastic surgery department at PLA Hospital 254, said that the propaganda of “scar removal and skin resurfacing, so that you can restore your beautiful appearance” is actually a beautiful lie. Any wound healing will produce scars, which are essential in the wound healing process. The only thing is that some scars are too small to be seen by the naked eye. Medications cannot get rid of scars, but are only used to inhibit scars during the proliferative phase. There is no drug that can make scars disappear, not to mention that some of the special drugs that claim to get rid of scars are just cosmetics, and how can cosmetics completely eliminate scars? As for scar injections, in clinical practice they are generally only used for scars, and they can only play a role in softening scars to make them relatively flat, and will not completely eliminate them, and they cannot be injected too much and have to ensure the accuracy of the injection site, otherwise they will inhibit the growth of normal skin cells. This injection is worth a few tens of dollars at most, but some clinics charge hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a shot, which is completely profitable. Yao Qingjun reminded that some scar removal products on the market claim to be able to get rid of several years old scars, which is a “pipe dream”. The scars generally turn into stable scars after half a year or at most two years, only the scars on the chest, joints and other active parts and a few “scar body” people may still have hyperplasia. Drugs that inhibit scar growth do not have any therapeutic effect on stable scars, and some drugs contain hormones, which can cause side effects. If you are ready to get rid of scars on your face or body, you should go to a regular hospital for examination and determine the correct treatment plan according to your specific situation.
