Can hyperplasia of burn scars be repaired

In life, it is easy to get scalded if you are not careful. Boiling water and oil can cause burns. If the burn is not treated in time, or if the burn is not properly cared for, it is easy to leave scars. Severe cases may even lead to scar hyperplasia. Scar hyperplasia will not only affect the appearance, but may also affect health. Can the hyperplasia of burn scars be repaired?

01Why do burns and scalds easily cause scar hyperplasia?

When the skin suffers from deep second-degree burns, the dermis and subcutaneous tissue are severely damaged, fibroblasts aggregate and proliferate, collagen fibers, cells, and matrix are deposited and arranged in a disorderly manner, and scars will be left! Deep second-degree burns generally have large wounds and deep wounds. The entire layer of the skin is damaged. In order to effectively heal the wound, scar tissue will aggregate and proliferate in large quantities, which will cause hypertrophic scars.

02Clinical symptoms of burn scars

Scars are different from normal skin. They do not have skin appendages such as sebaceous glands and pores, and there are no elastic fibers in scar tissue. However, capillaries are densely distributed. Therefore, clinically, burn scars will show clinical symptoms such as protruding from the skin surface, hard texture, bright red surface, pain and itching. These symptoms also cause a lot of inconvenience to the patient's body and mind.

There are two main steps in burn scar repair:

1The first step: care and repair

The formation of burn scars is the result of many factors, including the patient's physique, the depth of the wound, and emergency care after burns. Patients cannot subjectively control their own physique and the severity of burns, but they can take emergency precautions against burns. In order to avoid obvious scars left by burns, after the injury, you must pay attention to protecting the wound, go to the hospital for treatment in time, and promote its healing as soon as possible. These practices can reduce scars to a certain extent.

2 Step 2: Treatment and repair

There are many treatments for hypertrophic scars. Traditional laser, surgery, drug injection and other methods are relatively common treatments on the market. However, these methods do not remove scars completely, have poor efficacy, have serious side effects, and are prone to recurrence! Therefore, it is very important to choose the treatment method.

In view of the clinical manifestations of hypertrophic scars being raised and hard in texture, the treatment must first inhibit scar hyperplasia, loosen scars, soften scars, and relieve symptoms of pain and itching. The scar tissue is then ablated and reshaped to flatten the scar. Finally, the basal pigment cells are regulated to restore the color of the scar.
