Facial scar treatment is a common procedure for people who have scars on their faces. A scar is defined as a thin or raised area of skin, which is sometimes visible to the naked eye. These scars can occur from injury or surgery and natural aging processes such as the loss of collagen in the skin. For years, no one understood what causes scars, but it has now been shown conclusively that scars are caused by the action of enzymes on the skin. Scarring occurs when the dead skin cells are brought to the surface and start to oxidize or die.
Several types of facial scar treatment are available, from non-surgical options to more extreme options such as collagen injections and dermabrasion. Non-surgical methods include laser resurfacing, which uses a special laser tool to smooth away the rough edge of a scarred area. There are also plenty of creams available, both over the counter and from your doctor, that can make your skin look smoother.
