Has someone told you that nothing can be done about that ugly scar? Fortunately, that is absolutely false!
Among other things, your post-surgery recovery time includes taking care of the scars left due to surgery. The surgical scars are part of an entirely natural, and at the same time, complex process of skin healing. It is mainly repairing and restoring the damage done to the dermis. An ideal scar is flat, thin, and similar in color to the surrounding skin. Post-surgery care is essential for an inconspicuous and well-formed scar to develop.

Following are the aims of Post-Surgical Scars Treatment in Dubai:

Surgical Scars Treatment Options:
The treatment options can be divided into two main categories:
Surgical Treatments:
-
Scar Revision
It is the process of cutting a scar. After excision, the new wound is usually closed for healing. Deeper cuts require multiple layers of closure for optimal recovery; otherwise, the cracks can cause depression or bruise. Surgical removal of hypertrophic or keloid scarves is often associated with other procedures to prevent the formation of another scar.
-
Laser Resurfacing
This method is ideal for new or red, or pink scars and can significantly reduce redness by stimulating collagen and elastin production. We usually recommend 1-3 sessions, but this depends on the nature of the scar.
-
Skin Grafting
Skin grafting is a surgical operation to restore the skin on the surfaces of wounds that do not heal during treatment.
-
Dermabrasion
It is a mechanical Skin Resurfacing using a unique tool. It involves the exfoliation of dead skin cells in the surface layer of the epidermis due to mechanical action of pronounced intensity.
-
Fat Transfer
Lipofilling is mainly used to restore the body’s contour by increasing the volume of soft tissues. It can also be used to improve the quality of scar tissue.
Non-surgical Treatments:
-
Dermal Fillers:
Filler injections can temporarily create atrophic divisions at the level of the surrounding skin.
-
Chemical Peels:
Chemical Peels are agents that lift the epidermis in a controlled manner. It will help make your skin look younger and heal some skin conditions, including acne scars. Various chemicals can be used depending on the requirements of the skin. With caution, they turn especially to dark-skinned people prone to the formation of keloids and active diseases.
-
Steroids:
Steroids are injected into the scarf to reduce swelling and smooth the scar. Depending on the type of scar, you may need to have a second injection of Steroids. There are usually two or three months between injections, although this type of treatment may take longer depending on how the scar is treated.
-
Topical Treatments:
Many ingredients of natural origin are used in cosmetics for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and cell-stimulating properties. Topical treatments are appropriate for all types of scars, regardless of the size and age of the patient.
