How to remove old scars
Disease description:
Last year, I got a burn scar on my hand, and it still hasn't healed until now. How can old scars be removed?
Old scars can be removed through topical medications, laser treatments, and other methods. Old scars generally refer to mature scars left after wound healing. Treatments may include topical agents such as silicone gel or mucopolysaccharide polysulfate cream, along with sun protection. Laser therapy works by using light and heat to stimulate the production of collagen under the skin, helping to smooth the scar's surface and improve its appearance. If the scar does not affect daily life and immediate removal is not necessary, taking vitamin E supplements consistently over a long period may help improve scar healing.
