How to deal wif scar care?

What is Scar?
When the dermis of the skin is damaged, the body will naturally produce collagen fibres as part of the healing process. These fibred form a scar, which has different texture and quality form ordinary skin.
Scars form after a wound is completely healed.

Many types of scars..
If there is too much collagen produced during wound healing, keloid scars or hypertrophic scars occur. Simply put, a keloid is a raised scar which can be tender, freqently painful and somtimes having a burning sensation.
Some scars appeared sunken pr pitted.These usually occur when the underlying structures- fat or muscles- are lost, such as surgical or acne scars.
When the skin stretches rapidly- during pregnancy or growth spurts- and is under tension, scars can form too.

Hiding ugly Scars..
Although scars can't be erased, there are many ways to minimise their appearance, the Americans Academy of Dermatology says. The academy recommends a consultation between the patient and the dermatologist to decide the best treatment.

Here's a list of possible treatment option:
  • Dermabrasion- a machine is used to remove the top layer of skin.
  • Surgical scar reversion- best suited for wide or long scars, a method of removing a scar and rejoining the normal skin.
  • Laser surfacing- a method of removing acne and chicken pox scars that involves high-energy light to remove damaged skin.
  • Soft tissues fillers- injectable collagen used to elevate indented , soft scars.
  • Punch grafts- small pieces of normal skin used to replace damaged skin.
  • Chemical peels- the use of a chemical to remove the top layer of skin to smooth scars.

MPS for scars

There's a new ingredient available: mucopolysaccharides polysulphate (MPS). MPS is a special substances close to the natural properties for our skin. Once applied topically on to scar, MPS penetrates directly into the skin- to the site with the disorder- to enhance moirture absorption and prevent thickening of skin tissue (scar). The good news? Less obvious scars and more confident you!!
