Depressed scars are clinically known as depressed scars and are formed as a result of the healing of trauma to the skin, subcutaneous tissue or deep tissue. It can be improved by medications such as imiquimod and 5-fluorouracil, as well as physical methods and surgical treatments.
1. Medication: For patients with depressed scars in the early stage and the situation is not particularly serious, they can follow the doctor’s instructions to use topical growth factor gel and other drugs to promote local tissue proliferation to relieve the local depression.
2. Physical methods: can be improved by skin rubbing, laser. For shallow pitting scar, skin friction can be used to make the depression and the surrounding normal skin visually flat; laser treatment is mainly peeling fractional laser.
3. Surgery: For patients with fewer and larger scars, collagen or fat particle injections can be used to fill in the depressions. For patients with more serious depressed scars, medication and physical methods can not be effectively improved. They can be treated by surgery, such as excision and suture, tissue transplantation and repair.
It is recommended that patients who are willing to be treated go to a regular hospital for consultation and standardized treatment under the guidance of a specialist.
