How does botulinum toxin treat scarring?

Scarring is a very common problem we encounter in our clinic. Because of the surgery and the incisions, scarring is everywhere. How to achieve a very good treatment for scarring? The first step in the treatment of scarring is to ensure that our wounds are clean, and also to ensure that our sutures achieve complete reduction sutures and cosmetic sutures. The second point is that there is a post-operative scar proliferation period, how can candidates avoid the scar proliferation period? Many times we use some laser and injection drugs to inhibit the growth of our scars. In recent years, besides our scar softening injections, we add some Botox to our scar softening injections for treatment accordingly. This is because studies have shown that Botox can inhibit the growth of fibroblasts, the main component of a scar, which is the fibrous tissue produced by fibroblasts. After the fibroblasts have proliferated and hardened, a proliferative scar or contracture will be formed. If we want to treat scarring, then we mainly focus on fibroblast treatment. Botulinum toxin can inhibit the growth of fibroblasts. After Botulinum toxin treatment, the fibroblasts will grow less and the scar will be smaller, so the scar can be treated to a certain extent.
