Scar Treatment

---

Promotes healing and rejuvenation in scar tissue, improving skin texture and tone. This procedure involves the following steps: 

1. Assessment: The healthcare provider evaluates the scar's characteristics, such as size, texture, and type (e.g., keloid, hypertrophic).
2. Preparation: The treatment area is cleaned and sterilized to prevent infection.
3. Anesthesia: A local anesthetic may be applied to minimize discomfort during the injection.
4. Injection: Anti-scarring medication is injected directly into the scar tissue. The dosage and frequency depend on the scar's severity and the patient's response to treatment.
5. Follow-Up: Multiple sessions may be required, spaced several weeks apart. The healthcare provider monitors the scar's progress and adjusts the treatment plan as needed.

What to Expect

The corticosteroid reduces inflammation and suppresses collagen production, leading to softer, flatter scars. The chemotherapeutic agent inhibits fibroblast proliferation, which also helps in flattening and softening the scar tissue. This treatment improves the overall appearance and texture of the skin.
