Prevention of traumatic scars

Life is often scratched and wounded, and it is easy to leave scars during the recovery process, especially large-area wounds. Studies have shown that scars are the result of wound repair and are inseparable from wound repair. The relationship between scar and tissue damage repair is the relationship between "mark" and "ben". The formation of traumatic scars and the repair of wound tissue is an inseparable process. In the post-traumatic catabolism period, the repair of wound tissue has begun, and the formation of traumatic scars has begun.


The healing process of closed wounds can be divided into three stages: inflammatory reaction period, fibrous tissue formation stage and scar formation stage. After the wounds of open wounds are debrided and sutured, the layers of the wounds are well-aligned and can be Heal without infection, known as stage I healing. However, due to heavier pollution and tissue damage, the wound cannot be sutured in the first stage. In the case of openness, the granulation tissue proliferates to heal. In this case, the inflammatory reaction period and the fibrous tissue formation period are prolonged, and the scar tissue formed is particularly large, and although it is shaped by long-term, it cannot be lost. Thus, the prevention of traumatic scars should begin after trauma.


The prevention of scar formation is mainly to take effective measures for the scar hyperplasia process before scar healing after wound healing. The main methods are compression therapy, silicone therapy, drug therapy, radiation therapy, physical rehabilitation combined therapy, etc., in order to slow down the scar. Hyperplasia and through the proliferative phase into the regressive maturity, into a mature scar or close to normal skin tissue.


At present, there are many methods for preventing scar hyperplasia, but the effect is still limited. Most of them are based on the scar location and characteristics, and 2-3 kinds of methods that are convenient and easy to use and have fewer side effects are combined for comprehensive prevention and control, and the effect is better than the single method. Physical boosting is good.
