Keloid scars are excessive tissue regeneration that resembles a tumor with a smooth surface in appearance. There are several types of scar treatment, one of which is injection treatment for keloid scars. Before starting the procedure, you need to prepare for it. Preparation includes a consultation with a doctor, choosing a treatment method, and selecting medications.

Treatment of keloid scars with Diprospan

The doctor may suggest treatment of keloid scars with injections of the drug Diprospan. The drug has a number of advantages and features:

• The effect of treatment occurs instantly, after the first injections.
• The product does not allow tissues to actively grow and eliminates inflammatory processes.
• The product relieves all discomfort in the keloid area.
• The drug does not need to be diluted before administration.
• After a course of treatment with Diprospan, the cicatricial scar changes color, decreases, and becomes almost invisible.
• The drug and its dosage can only be prescribed by a professional doctor after a diagnostic examination and a series of manipulations to identify possible allergic reactions.

Hyaluronic acid in the fight against atrophic scars

Another method that will be most effective if the scar “sinks” significantly, that is, disrupts the normal texture of the skin, is injections of hyaluronic acid. The mechanism of action here is the same as in the case of wrinkles and folds: the gel filler pushes out the cavity, filling the missing volume. As a result, the skin on the treated area is evened out.

In addition to the fact that the scar area will become perfectly smooth, you will also give your skin the opportunity to be additionally saturated with the nutrients it needs - it will become more hydrated, dense and healthy.

Hyaluronic acid is a natural compound in our body that is present in tissues. Thus, injections do not give the effect of a foreign filler, tissues perceive the substance injected into them as related, and the danger of rejection is eliminated.

This method is considered one of the safest and gives excellent aesthetic results. There are practically no contraindications to its use: if you are healthy and do not suffer from severe chronic diseases or bleeding disorders, you can use it (although in any case, you will need to consult our specialist first).

How does the procedure work?

Injection treatment for keloid scars is as follows:

• Anesthesia is not needed for this type of treatment, as the injections are easily tolerated.
• The procedure consists of the doctor pricking the area of ​​the scar, trying to introduce the product into its cavity.
• After the injection, the scar area must be treated with an antiseptic.
• The entire procedure lasts about 20 minutes.

After the procedure, the doctor gives advice and recommendations to the patient.

Treatment of scars with Diprospan

The main feature of the procedure is the unique composition of the drug, the components of which have a suppressive effect on the processes of tissue proliferation. Thanks to this, scar growth stops and inflammatory processes are eliminated. As a result, the size of the scar is noticeably reduced.

Scars that have recently formed are the easiest to treat and often require only one session to remove them. If the scar is more than a year old, then most likely it will require several sessions to remove it. Complex treatment is also sometimes used, in which the injection procedure is supplemented with laser ones. For example, bunker or Fraxel.

Preparation for the procedure

To carry out the treatment procedure using Diprospan (or Kenalog) injections, there is no need for any special preparation. However, you will need to visit a dermatocosmetologist in advance. This is necessary for a specialist to conduct a short consultation on the injection treatment of the procedure. You can also ask any question about scar treatment. In addition, the doctor will need to examine the scars and interview you. The collected anamnesis will help assess the effectiveness of injections, select the optimal remedy and create a course. And at the initial appointment, the specialist will check whether you have any contraindications to the procedure. Thus, Diprospan injections should not be given to pregnant and lactating women. Viral infections and exacerbation of any skin diseases are also contraindications. In addition, it is prohibited to carry out the procedure if there is a history of cancer.

It won’t hurt to inform your doctor at the consultation about any chronic diseases you have, as well as allergies to medications.

But if you do not have any of the above restrictions, then the session can be held immediately after the consultation.

Carrying out the procedure for injection treatment of scars

To carry out the procedure, there is no need to anesthetize the skin with a scar, since the session is performed quite comfortably and without anesthesia. Before administering the drug, the doctor will treat the skin with an antiseptic to eliminate the risk of infection. After this, they move directly to injections: to evenly distribute the composition, several small injections are made directly into the scar. As a rule, the duration of one session does not exceed twenty minutes. When it is over, the specialist will again treat the skin with an antiseptic and give recommendations for the post-procedure period.

Treatment of scars with injections: post-procedure period

After the administration of Diprospan injections, no rehabilitation will be required for scars, so you can immediately return to everyday life without being distracted from work or school. However, you will need to adhere to general guidelines:

1. In the first two weeks, you should not sunbathe either in the solarium or on the beach.
2. Also, during the week you cannot go to steam rooms, saunas and baths.
3. In the first days, you need to treat the scar with Dermatix.

In addition, experts recommend, if possible, not to scratch the skin at the injection site. In some cases, in addition to general prescriptions, doctors also give individual ones. To get the maximum result from the procedure and minimize the risk of side effects, you need to follow all the specialist’s recommendations.

Benefits of injection treatment for keloid scars

The advantages of this type of scar treatment are as follows:

• Injections are considered one of the safest methods for eliminating keloids, as they rarely cause allergies in patients.
• In most cases, this type of treatment is effective.
• After this type of impact on the keloid, its appearance improves significantly.
• The procedure itself is painless and is tolerated quite easily by patients.
• This type of treatment is suitable for patients of all ages.

What are atrophic scars and why do they occur?

A scar is a formation of connective tissue that remains in the place where the skin was damaged. A scar may appear after healing at the site of a burn, wound, surgery or illness (for example, chickenpox, acne). Scars do not always form, but only in cases where the skin has been damaged at a sufficiently deep level.

A scar is formed by the production of collagen - this substance is not only responsible for the elasticity of our tissues, but is also capable of tightening damage to the skin. If healing proceeds without complications, a normotrophic scar usually appears at the site of injury. There are also hypertrophic scars (in this case, they protrude above the surface of healthy skin) and atrophic ones: stretch marks (stretch marks), scars in the form of depressions (for example, in places where there was inflammation or acne).

Atrophic scars most often form in areas of the body where there is almost no subcutaneous fat layer: in the upper chest, on the shoulders, legs, back of the hands or feet. They also happen on the face. The tissue of such a scar is extremely thin; blood vessels can be visible through it. The reason for the formation of an atrophic scar is always a deficiency of collagen, elastane and proteins that form skin tissue

There are many ways to get rid of scars today; the approach always depends on the specific case. In some cases, surgery is necessary. Sometimes laser resurfacing shows good aesthetic results. We use a neodymium laser that affects the deep layers - the dermis. This method can be used for different types of scars, regardless of their location.

What results can be achieved when correcting an atrophic scar with fillers?

An atrophic scar is always “missing” tissue. The filler fills the void formed in the damaged area, and the upper part of the skin rises, due to which the relief is evened out.

If the scar is small, but located in a noticeable area - as happens, for example, with acne marks on the face - filler injections can almost immediately transform the skin: all the depressions will be smoothed out, and the face will take on its original natural appearance.

In addition to the fact that the filler solves the problem by replenishing the lack of tissue, it also acts from the inside: under the influence of the compounds contained in hyaluronic acid, the process of skin regeneration is launched and it is renewed.

Depending on the individual characteristics of your body, the effect of drugs injected into the scar area may last for different periods of time - on average, from six months to one and a half years. Then the procedure can be repeated if necessary.

Remedy for scars and scars COLLOST®

Are you tired of hiding scars on your face or other parts of the body under a thick layer of makeup, or choosing a photo angle so that post-acne scars are not visible?
This will no longer be necessary if you rush to start scar treatment with innovative injections of COLLOST® collagen gel. Many people, dreaming of removing scars, read reviews on the Internet. Generally, collecting and evaluating opinions is the best way to select an effective and safe treatment option. This is also the case in the fight against scars. The overwhelming majority of reviews about the collagen gel injection method are not just positive, but full of happiness. And it’s not surprising, because until recently it was very difficult to remove acne scars. And now anyone can come to a cosmetologist and undergo a collostotherapy procedure. Typically, scar treatment requires 4 collagen injection treatments.

Please note that this type of scar removal does not harm the skin, but rather restores and rejuvenates it. Sterile collagen gel, obtained from animal dermis, is available in syringes. The gel is administered intradermally after local anesthesia, so the patient does not experience pain. Scar removal involves injecting gel into the area underneath to fill the space. But the work of collagen gel does not end with the function of the implant. The dermis receives a signal to increase the synthesis of collagen protein, which will gradually replace the injected gel and form new skin, without scars.

As a result, the scars on the face will simply disappear. Of course, if we are talking about fairly large scars, then more injection procedures will be required. But one thing is for sure - your face will be completely transformed after injections of COLLOST® gel. You will no longer need to hide scars on your face with thick layers of makeup. Collagen gel will return your skin to beauty and health, and scars will no longer darken your mood.

Types of scars

When the middle layer of the skin - the dermis - is damaged, the body’s natural reaction is first to form a blood clot, which closes the tissue from penetration from the outside, and then - connective or scar tissue. The depth of the scar, size, and shape depend on the circumstances under which the injury was received, its depth, and the individual characteristics of the body. There are 5 main types of scars:

• atrophic,
• keloids,
• hypertrophic,
• tightened,
• striae.

Keloids, hypertrophic and tight, protrude above the surface of the skin. Atrophic and striae seem to be “recessed” into the skin and do not protrude above it.

How is scar contouring performed?

The procedure involves the introduction of hyaluronic acid-based preparations into the middle layers of the skin. Fillers have a dense gel consistency, which helps smooth the skin, straighten wrinkles and small irregularities, which include atrophic scars. In addition to fillers based on hyaluronic acid, fillers based on the patient’s own fat can also be used (lipofilling procedure).

The cosmetologist cleanses the skin, treats it with anesthetic cream or gel and marks the injection points for the drug. After this, a pre-measured amount of filler is injected using a thin insulin needle. Then treats the injection area with an antiseptic solution.

The procedure takes from 20 to 40 minutes. The result can be assessed immediately - the skin is smoothed, looks even, over time its elasticity returns, the skin is evened out and moisturized. After injections, for 14 days it is necessary to avoid visiting a sauna, bathhouse, solarium, or exposure to active sun, as thermal exposure contributes to the accelerated breakdown of hyaluronic acid in tissues.
