Sunken scars are mostly caused by trauma. After trauma, the subcutaneous fibrous tissue is repaired and proliferated, resulting in skin scars sticking to deep subcutaneous tissue and forming depressions. Some scars are in the moving part, even when the muscles are moving, the scars will be more obvious because of the contraction and traction. The sticky fibrous tissue under the skin is permanent and will not disappear, so the sunken scars will not grow flat.
Common manifestations of sunken scars:
Pseudo red scar
It has a red mark on completely flat skin and no depression. This kind of pseudo red scars, in general, will fade within three to six months.
Pigmented scars
Color changes are initially redness, followed by melanosis, which can last for months to years.
Red concave scar
There are both concave holes on the skin surface and red marks in the concave holes. This kind of red concave scar is relatively troublesome.
Old concave scar
At this time, the red in the pit has faded, but the pit has become a permanent and distinct scars; chickenpox, trauma and so on also often cause such pits.
Some treatments for sunken scars:
Laser elimination method
Laser is the best way to eliminate sunken scars, and this method can help everyone to eliminate scars. The main reason is that the laser can make the original sunken position smooth, and then in the vision to achieve the purpose of eliminating the depressed scar.
Injection method (supplement collagen, filled with hyaluronic acid or autologous fat)
Filling is the most direct treatment. Especially for the dermis, there is no obvious adhesion or defect. If the amount of subcutaneous tissue is insufficient, we can inject hyaluronic acid, collagen, etc. for filling. Autologous fat filling is also a method that can significantly improve the appearance of scars, make the skin smooth, and have a good correction effect. Whether it is a superficial or deep depression scar, it has a good treatment effect, and can improve the skin color and texture.
Minimally invasive method
Generally, a needle or a needle knife is used for subcutaneous peeling, which does not cause new incision wounds. Only the eye of the needle is left, and it can heal quickly. The operation is simple and fast. However, adhesion may occur again after the loosening is improved, and it needs to be improved gradually by multiple operations.
Surgical resection method
Surgical resection is the most effective way to completely solve the sunken scar. At the same time, it can also remove the original relatively obvious scar, so that the scar has the opportunity to recover to a flat thin line scar, or even become less obvious.
