Techniques We Use:

Variety of surgical techniques is used by surgeons and dermatologists to come up with the severity of wounds.

1. Surgical excision:

A widely used surgical procedure when medications and other treatments do not deliver the desired results. This treatment in most cases is done for the scars that are in large size and are damaged badly. Surgical excision is done by cutting and removing the scar tissues. By doing so the goal of size reduction is achieved. When done in series or stages, it is termed as ‘serial excision’.

2. Flaps, grafts and artificial skin:

Healthy skin tissues are separated and grafted on the affected area. These grafts are inserted in order to treat wounds and scar that may result due to injury or trauma when there is no skin to cover the incisions. Flap of skin or thin layers of skin are replaced from one part of the body and are replaced to the area of scar.

3. Z-plasty and W-plasty:

Both types of surgeries are paying role in reduction of scar visibility. Lines and creases are repositioned and corrected in the skin of the patient.

• Z-palsty involves creation of Z-shaped incision in the wound. The straight line of scar tissue is break into very smaller units.
• W-plasty involves same goal of reducing scar appearance as that of Z-plasty. It changes straight line of scar into line with irregularities. This is achieved by making incisions in zig-zag pattern.

The major different that lies between these two surgical techniques is that the construction and relocation of skin flaps is not require in W-plasty procedure.

4. Laser skincare and Dermabrasion:

These treatments work by removing top layer of skin and is also termed as ‘ablative skin treatment’. This is done in order to fade the scars on any part of the body.

• Dermabrasion involves use of a medical tool comprising a wheel with very speed that is rotated over the scar. Epidermis is eradicated that aids in scar removal.
• Laser resurfacing functions same as that of dermabrasion. This technique is less popular and involves use of carbon dioxide laser beams. Lasers are penetrated through then skin with accuracy and precision. Laser resurfacing is usually performed after five days of scar excision.
