Scars on the face: types, causes and methods of removal

In nature, there are no ideal individuals. Each person, without exception, has some kind of defect. One incorrectly pronounces the words, the other has too big ears, and the third is not happy with his weight. All deviations in the body are defects. You can not pay attention to them, but you can make an effort and try to fix it.

Sometimes life gives us surprises, and defects arise where they never existed. One of these blows of fate can include scars on the face. Men for the most part do not pay much attention to them, but for women this is a real tragedy. Such scars may appear for various reasons:

  1. Acne.
  2. Burns.
  3. Injuries (cuts or other damage to the skin).

In any case, these ugly marks noticeably spoil the appearance and create a lot of problems. Any person will feel insecure if he knows that his face, as they say, “leaves much to be desired”.

The problem of removing facial scars has long been worrying cosmetologists around the world. But in order to fight any disease, you first need to classify it, and then analyze the possible ways of treating it. All known scars in medicine can be divided into 4 types:

  1. Normal scars or normotrophic, when the healing of the lesion site was normal, and the connective tissue took root at the level of the general skin integument.
  2. Inverted scars or atrophic, when the lesion after healing is noticeably lower than the surrounding skin layers.
  3. Convex scars or hypertrophic, when a sharp reaction of the body to the lesion led to the formation of a scar, which rises noticeably above the rest of the surface.
  4. Condensed, cyanotic scars or keloid. They usually appear after a certain period of time and often more than the lesion itself. Such scars constantly give a feeling of painful discomfort.

Having decided on the type, you can choose a method of treatment. Cosmetology knows many methods of control that can significantly reduce or completely remove the affected area. But such an extreme measure is not always needed.

scars after burns
For example, scars after burns of an atrophic nature can be removed using laser peeling. Under the influence of a burning beam, the connective tissue disappears, and the body, producing additional collagen, begins the healing process, restoring the skin on the vacated area. Sometimes in such cases, the procedure is used for the philling of scars, when a special substance is introduced under the skin, which makes up for the deficiency of the skin.

acne scars
In the case of hypertrophic or normal scars, chemical or mechanical peeling is more often used. Acne scars are perfectly removed chemically by treating the surface of the lesion site with salicylic acid. After dissolution and evaporation of the coarsened tissue, the skin is restored, and there is not even a trace of the defect.

Scars on the face create a lot of problems. They are not as easy to disguise as in other parts of the body. Sometimes we, without noticing it, contribute to the appearance of these unsightly scars. The appearance of blackheads makes the skin suffer, if you do not get rid of this “infection” in time, then in the end, tired, depleted skin undergoes severe inflammation. The result of repeated exposure to such inflammation is facial scars.

To avoid this, you need to respond in time to every inflammatory process and do not forget about prevention. This does not mean washing several times a day and rubbing the skin to pain. It must be remembered that the human skin needs a certain amount of vitamins and fat. Deprived of one or the other, he becomes unprotected and is easily exposed to negative external influences. The result of this effect is scars on the face. And it is worth remembering that any disease is better to prevent than to treat it for a long time.
