What is dermabrasion surgery to treat scars?

Skin grinding is one of many scar treatment methods, and its therapeutic effect has been recognized by many scar patients. The principle of dermabrasion surgery for scar treatment is to smooth the uneven scar epidermis, then heal the wound and grow a new epidermis again, thus blurring the scar and improving the appearance. It has a good effect on acne scars, convex linear scars or uneven flaky scars left after acne, but it should be noted that skin grinding surgery has certain limitations in treating scars, because grinding surgery must be limited to a safe depth. Therefore, there is nothing we can do for scars that are too deep, and for scars that are large in area, it is only smooth, not worn off, and becomes normal skin. Therefore, if the scar with poor surgical effect is ground, other methods to improve the scar or comprehensive treatment should be considered according to the doctor's advice. Skin grinding surgery can also be used to treat scars of different depths. Microcrystalline dermabrasion is a common method for superficial scar grinding. Its advantages are: no anesthesia, quick wound recovery and few side effects, which will not affect normal work and study, but can only improve superficial scars and require multiple treatments to be effective. Deep scar grinding is suitable for improving deep scar, and skin grinding is one of the methods. Compared with shallow grinding scar, wound care after deep grinding scar is more complicated and the recovery time is longer. Its advantages are obvious treatment effect and less treatment times, depending on the degree of scar of patients. For superficial scars, many patients have a very good effect after one treatment. Doctors recommend reading: removing scars requires symptomatic treatment, and there is also the best time to repair scars.
