How to remove scars on the arms

Generally, scars on the arm can be treated and improved through methods such as pressure therapy, laser scar removal, microcrystal dermabrasion, injectable fillers, and radiofrequency therapy. The details are as follows:

1. Pressure Therapy

Custom-made pressure sleeves are worn to continuously apply moderate pressure to the scar area on the arm, reducing local blood supply, inhibiting fibroblast proliferation, and controlling scar hyperplasia.

2. Laser Scar Removal

Laser scar removal utilizes the photothermal effect of lasers to stimulate collagen regeneration and reorganization in the skin while vaporizing or carbonizing the surface tissue of the scar to improve its appearance. The typical reference price is 1,000–5,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement can generally be seen within 1–3 months, although side effects such as infection or blistering may occur.

3. Microcrystal Dermabrasion

Microcrystal dermabrasion involves high-speed impact of tiny crystals onto the scar surface to remove hyperplastic tissue and stimulate skin regeneration, resulting in smoother skin texture. The typical reference price is 1,000–5,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement can generally be seen within 1–2 months, although side effects such as minor bleeding or skin allergies may occur.

4. Injectable Fillers

Injectable fillers are used specifically for depressed scars, where materials such as hyaluronic acid or collagen are injected to fill in the depressed areas and improve appearance. The typical reference price for microcrystal dermabrasion is 3,000–8,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement can generally be seen within 2–3 months, although side effects such as local hard nodules may occur.

5. Radiofrequency Therapy

Radiofrequency therapy uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by radiofrequency devices to cause water molecules in the scar tissue to vibrate and generate heat, stimulating collagen contraction and regeneration to reshape scar tissue and improve appearance. The typical reference price is 1,000–4,000 yuan per session. Noticeable improvement can generally be seen within 4–6 weeks, although side effects such as temporary redness, swelling, or a burning sensation may occur.

It is recommended to visit a reputable hospital and undergo the above procedures under the guidance of a qualified physician to ensure safety and effectiveness. After the procedure, gently wipe the skin around the surgical site on the arm with normal saline, avoid using irritating cleansers, and avoid contact with water before the wound has fully healed to prevent infection.
