While some people don’t mind their scars very much, there are others that wish they could get rid of them.
For those who fall into the latter category, there are a number of advances that can help you to remove them completely.
Here are 3 types of scars that you can remove:
Scar #1: Growth on the Wound Site. Look like a Zit or Orange
While steroids were used in the past, the issue with this approach was that it causes hypopigmentation on dark skin. Doctors these days now cut off the scar and use a fractional ablative laser. What this does is create a wound that heals naturally if you live it alone. Better still, it removes overgrowth and take only 10 minutes to perform. The cost for such a procedure is about $1000.
Scar #2: Red, raised and contained within the size of the wound. C-section scar.
Depending on the thickness of the scar, you will need to take two to seven corticosteroids that cost $100 to $300 each. Next, you’ll have to wear silicon gel sheets for a duration that depends on whether they are new or old scars. Their function is to apply light pressure so that collagen doesn’t build back up.
Scar #3: Recessed, skin-colored potholed. Cystic acne and chicken pox.
For this, fractional ablative laser will do the trick. As mentioned earlier, each procedure costs about $1000 each. After this, an injection of Sculptra will deal with those divots. Even if this acid filler’s effects are temporary, it will stimulate the growth of collagen. This is permanent. Usually, this will take anywhere from two to five treatments.
