Introduction
Scars usually refer to cicatrices. In most cases, surgical scars are hypertrophic scars left on the skin surface after surgery. They can be removed or improved through treatments such as radiofrequency microneedling, dermabrasion, fractional laser, scar excision, or flap transplantation. If you wish to remove a surgical scar, it is recommended to promptly consult a reputable local hospital and follow medical advice for appropriate treatment.
