Can scar hyperplasia be flattened with injections?

Scars on the skin are a common phenomenon. There are many ways to repair scars, which are generally divided into surgical and non-surgical methods. Surgical scar repair is mostly traumatic treatment. If scars proliferate and affect their image, some people will choose to flatten the proliferated area through injections. Scar hyperplasia injections can flatten the proliferated area, but you still need to keep the area clean and pay more attention to rest.

Scar softening injection is one of the methods to treat scars. Protruding scars in the scar hyperplasia stage can be smoothed down by scar softening injection.

Scars are also living marks. They appear where deep wounds occur, grow during the wound healing process, and fall off when the scar matures. Generally speaking, scars on the superficial skin will fall off naturally after maturing, but if the dermis is damaged or the bones are injured, the scar will continue to grow. Scar softening injection is a method of drug injection to promote the maturation of scars so that they fall off, and the ultimate purpose is to soften and remove scars.

Scope of application

Scar needle is a non-surgical treatment method for scars, but it is not effective for all scars. It is effective for prominent scars and keloids that are in the scar hyperplasia stage. However, scar needles are not suitable for mature scars. If you want to repair mature scars, you must mainly rely on surgical treatment.

How to operate

Dilute according to the proportion, shake well and inject into the syringe and inject into the scar. Insert the needle horizontally into the center of the puncture scar. After the needle is inserted, push the medicine in while withdrawing the needle. The injection amount is based on the amount when the scar turns white during injection.

1. For small-area scar hyperplasia, inject triamcinolone into the scar, with each dose less than 20 mg.

2. Scar softening consists of 4 times as a course of treatment. The pain and itching symptoms will be relieved quickly after injection, and the drug efficacy will last for 3 to 5 days. As the number of injections increases, the subjective symptoms will disappear.

3. After 1 to 2 courses of treatment, the scars can be softened and flattened. However, scars thicker than 0.5 cm require a relatively long treatment time due to the small range of drug infiltration.

Precautions

1. Try to avoid getting the surgical area wet within 7 days after scar cosmetic surgery.

2. Ensure the scar cosmetic surgery area is clean.

3. Avoid eating irritating foods, such as chili peppers, after scar cosmetic surgery.

4. After scar cosmetic surgery, strictly follow the doctor's instructions on taking medication and going for follow-up visits.
