Scar Removal

There is no way to completely 'cure' a scar. With modern advances in natural medicines and surgeries however, it is getting easier and easier to disguise, relocate or minimize the appearance of the scar. Usually, the sooner you start treating a scar and the younger the patient, the easier it is to treat a scar, although scenarios can change depending on other factors listed previously in this article.

Below are some common scar removal treatment processes:

• Over the Counter: Some OTC natural scar removal ointments and remedies have been shown to significantly reduce the appearance of scars, smoothing and flattening them, and blending them into the natural surrounding skin. Quantum Derma's Scar Reducing Herbal Cream not only makes old scars fade but prevents new wounds from scarring. Because this topical solution has natural oils conducive to skin healing and regeneration, Quantum Derma's Scar Reducing Herbal Cream works for all scars including stretch marks and burns.
  
  
• Dermabrasion - A common technique for flattening raised scars with a spinning brasion tool, usually coated with diamond fragments. This process is now being replaced with laser therapy.
  
  
• Laser Resurfacing - Laser Therapy is becoming very common in dermatological surgery. Lasers have been proven to greatly reduce the redness of some scars but have not shown significant results in flattening scars or making them less apparent.
  
  
• Collagen Injections - Collagen, the protein the body uses to create scar tissue, can be used to raise pitted scars but needs constant re-injection over periods of time.
  
  
• Steroid Injections - Steroids, injected into the scar tissue, is a technique still used to flatten and soften scars, despite common knowledge of the side effects of steroids in general. If you are considering steroid injections, it is best to try a natural topical treatment first.
  
  

If you have a scar that you feel is unsightly or you are anticipating a scar (surgery, pregnancy), the best place to start is natural ointments with Vitamin E, Aloe Vera and other ingredients that help your skin heal and regenerate such as Quantum Derma's Scar Removal product. In many cases, preventative skin care is the best way to deal with anticipated scarring. Remember that good nutrition directly affects your skin; eating right and drinking lots of water for hydration will give your skin the raw materials and vitamins to heal itself to the best of its ability.
