Brief Answer: Fading a surgical scar Detailed Answer: Hello, Welcome back. Unfortunately I have not received the photograph. I will explain these scar revision procedures briefly. Dermaroller: Micro-needling technique or Dermaroller makes use of a hand held roller with many fine medical grade stainless steel micro-needles. This instrument is rolled in different directions over the affected skin and the needles cause micro wounds. This will release growth factors which stimulates skin to make new collagen and elastic fibres thereby smoothening scars. Fractional lasers: This makes use of the above principle, only difference is that instead of needles laser beams cause micro wounds. Subcision: Scars are pulled down by fibrous bands under the skin. A needle is inserted near the scar and pushed below it to cut the fibrous bands thereby releasing the fibrous bands. 3-4 sittings might be required for optimal results. This procedure can be combined with other scar treatments for better results. Excision and resuture: If the scar is irregular and at the same time small, the entire scar can be excised and removed and the wound can be sutured well. Get a consultation from a dermatologist who is experienced in cosmetology. He will assess your scars and plan treatment. You might need multiple sittings of different modalities of treatments for maximal benefit. If you are not interested in surgical methods, then you can apply a silicone gel (Eg : Hexilak silicone) or contractubex gel and massage over the scar twice a day. Hope this helped, Take care.
