Depending on the type and severity of scarring, there are many treatments available. Options include cosmetic surgery, dermatological procedures, injections and topical treatments among others.
Traditional Treatments
Cosmetic surgery has been used for years to help patients reduce dramatic scarring, but the cost associated with this is preventative for many. Scar revision is a form of cosmetic surgery that works by literally cutting the scar tissue out, and then closing the wound with stitches, sutures or adhesive glue. In addition, the surgery itself can result in additional scarring. For extreme cases such contracture scarring, skin grafts are a common treatment. A skin graft is highly delicate procedure that takes healthy skin from one area of the body and transfers it to the scarred or damaged area. It is recommended only in the most extreme cases, as needed for severe burn victims.
Dermatological procedures attempt to flatten and remove layers of skin using techniques like dermabrasion or laser scar removal. These techniques typically require ongoing treatment over many months of visits to a dermatologist and can intensify the affected area until the treatment is complete. Laser therapy can be effective on keloid and hypertrophic scars, using lasers to resurface the scar tissue. Recent advancements in technology have improved recovery times for laser scar removal, although the treatment can still be considered risky. Chemical peels have also been used as a means of destroying the buildup of scar tissue but should be used cautiously.
Steroid injections are another form of treatment available for managing scar tissue. While steroids won’t completely eliminate the scar, long term usage of corticosteroid injections have been shown to flatten and reduce the appearance of keloid and hypertrophic scars. However, numerous injections over several months are often required before any results are seen.
