Шрамы до и после
Removal of scars before and after

At home, we often use the word “scar”. We are referring to tissue changes that remain after a skin injury: a dog bite, a fall, cuts, and even acne marks.

In a professional, medical environment, doctors use the meaning ” cicatrix”.

A cicatrix (from the Latin cicatrix – trace or formation) that remains after the wound has healed.

We guarantee quality and efficiency from any scar removal procedure.

We are lucky to live and be treated in the 21st century. All the world achievements of medicine and cosmetology are at our service. Some of them are aimed at the complete removal of scars without risks and complications.

If earlier almost nothing could be done with a household scar, today we are successfully fighting such imperfections.

The types of scars depend on their origin, size and age. The older the scar, the harder it is to get rid of it. But for the doctors of our clinic, nothing is impossible!

How is the scar formed?

Inflammation and epithelialization.

After injury or surgery, tissues begin active recovery on days 7-10. Edema subsides, inflammation persists. Bandaging the wound daily before scarring can help reduce or avoid scarring.

Young scar.

10-30 days after the violation of the integrity of the tissues. The scar is still young, during this period it is necessary to carefully protect it from injuries. The color is bright pink due to microcirculation of blood in the superficial vessels.

Mature scar.

30-90 days after injury. Microcirculation decreases, collagen fibers line up. The scar takes on an even, dense texture.

The need to protect the skin from repeated injuries remains. If an unhealed scar is injured, a keloid or atrophic scar may form.

The final stage of scar formation.

5-12 months after the intervention, the dying off of the superficial vessels in the scar area occurs. The texture takes on its final look and color.

The appearance and sensitivity of a scar may change over time.

Attention! If you notice bleeding scar or constant burning and itching, you should immediately consult a doctor. The sooner you seek help, the fewer complications will arise.

Types of scars and cicatrix

Типы рубцов картинка

In this picture, we have depicted not only the differences between scars, but also the depth of the impact of different procedures.

Normotrophic.

Нормотрофический рубец

The normotrophic scar is pale or beige in color and is flush with the epidermis. The normotrophic scar is the simplest of the scars, it is elastic and similar to the surrounding tissue.

As a rule, it does not cause pain and discomfort. Easily removed by laser resurfacing and has no complications.

Atrophic.

Атрофический рубец

An atrophic scar can have a different color, more often shades of pink and purple (almost blue), as well as brown. Located below the level of the epidermis.

The most common example of an atrophic scar is acne and stretch marks.

Enzyme therapy: scar removal by injections

Hypertrophic.

Гипертрофический рубец

The increased work of the cellular matrix leads to the formation of excess tissue. A hypertrophic scar is located significantly above the level of the epidermis. It can have an uneven texture and different colors, more often saturated shades.

A hypertrophic scar usually occurs after complex medical operations: childbirth through a cesarean section, local abdominal surgery, and so on. Or extensive domestic injuries.

Individual treatment. Surgical excision followed by laser resurfacing is often recommended.

Keloid.

Келлоидный рубец

A keloid or keloid scar (keloid cicatrix) is the most difficult to correct and remove. The appearance of a keloid is more often due to a genetic predisposition. A small nodule forms first.

The thickening of the tissue grows, and is not limited to the wound line. Growth can be spasmodic or gradual. Pain, burning, itching, hypersensitivity are constant companions of a keloid scar.

Important! Treatment and correction of a keloid scar should only be carried out by an experienced dermatologist. Home treatment is not allowed!

The choice of how to correct and remove a scar depends on many factors. Come to us for a consultation and we will tell you how to quickly and safely heal a scar.

Пришла в куллазер на фонофорез после операции в другой клинике к Любви Сергеевне и стала постоянным клиентом. За два месяца процедур с моя ситуация значительно улучшилась. Доктор также правильно подобрала мне уход для лица и процедуры по моему типу кожи. Далее попала к Сергею Григорьевичу и тоже осталась супер довольна. Очень помог мне решить мою проблему, современный подход, ответственно относится к пациентам, всегда идет на встречу, за что огромное спасибо. Отдельное спасибо администратору Алене, всегда на связи, всегда находит подходящее время для записи. Весь персонал доброжелательный, улыбчивый - всегда приятно быть гостем.

Юлечка Михайловна отличный специалист, доволен работой и результатом от двух процедур лазерная шлифовка (одна на средних, вторая на максимальных настройках) плюс плазмолифтинг, плюс микроигольчатый rf лифтинг. И также 2 процедуры rejuran s делал. Реабилитация 1 неделя, все процедуры делал летом, сгладились старые рубцы, новые- до 1 года практически ушли, можно конечно ещё улучшать, но в рекламе косметических средств сниматься не собираюсь, а визуальный результат меня вполне устраивает, так что очень рекомендую !)
