Some of you said I don’t want to remove the scars through surgery, nor do I want to use laser treatment, can I use injections? The injectable treatment mentioned here is often referred to as “scar injection” or “scar softening injection”, which can be used to treat scars, but we need to understand the following contents when using scar injection to treat scars. What is scar injection Scar injection is a clinically used medical drug with glucocorticoid-based ingredients, mainly including Depo-Provera, Tretinoin, etc. The principle of scar treatment by scar injection is that the hormone component has anti-inflammatory and anti-immune effects, which can stop the excessive proliferation of collagen cells, thus promoting the maturation of scars and their removal to achieve the effect of softening and removing scars. The good and bad of scar injections Scar injections are not effective for all scars. They are effective for prominent scars and scars in the proliferative phase of scarring. We can make those red, painful, itchy, raised, thick and hard scars a little flatter and more comfortable with scar needling. In contrast, scar injections are not suitable for scars that have matured, and the drug we inject is a hormone that may produce side effects such as high blood pressure, menstrual disorders, acne, and hirsutism, so it is not recommended for large scar scars. In addition, it is not recommended for children in growth and development, adults in preparation for pregnancy, or frail elderly people. The healthy way to treat scars So, what is the healthy way to treat scars? The best ones currently used clinically are laser, surgery, medication and scar care. If you have an early stage scar and the trauma is small, then you can apply topical creams and treat it with laser to achieve better results. If you have old scars with large scars and have been diagnosed with scar hyperplasia or scarring, then it is better to use a combination of treatments at this time. In terms of the results of the treatment then, the laser is similar to an eraser to lighten the scar, and after the procedure it is just a thinner less visible line. I believe a professional doctor will give you a professional and personalized treatment plan based on your scar condition.
