Pulsed laser alone is generally effective in treating scarring and needs to be combined with intradermal injections.
Scarring is a pathological scar caused by the abnormal proliferation of fibroblasts in the skin, usually secondary to skin trauma, mosquito bites and so on. Pulsed laser can pass through the surface layer of the skin and act directly on the dermis, thus inhibiting the proliferation of collagen fibers, and then play a role in removing scars. Therefore, the effect of pulsed laser treatment of scars is better, but generally need to cooperate with intradermal injection of glucocorticoid, etc., which can reduce the recurrence of the condition.
The process of pulsed laser scar removal will cause burning and pain in the skin, which is normal and can be tolerated by most patients. In addition, after the pulse laser patients should pay attention to rest, eat less spicy and greasy food, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and so on. Patients should also drink less alcohol to prevent wound infection.
