Information leaflet on scar care
Dear patients and relatives
If you cut yourself or undergo surgery, it takes a while for the wound to heal and a scar to form. Depending on the cause of the scar and the initial treatment, visible scar tissue develops. It can take up to two years for the skin to return to a reasonably normal state. In the case of burn scars, initial treatment plays a crucial role. Immediate, moderate cooling and the provision of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene optimise the chances of minimising scar tissue. Third-degree burns are also particularly dangerous because excessive fluid intake can be life-threatening.
With every scar, the skin attempts to heal itself and begins to lose excessive amounts of water. The more water is lost, the more excess collagen is produced. If too much collagen is formed, this causes raised scars or hypertrophic scars, as the collagen attempts to thicken this part of the skin to reduce water loss. If the scar is not treated at all, a keloid scar may form.
If you have suffered from acne, many small scars often remain. These can be improved in all cases once the inflamed skin has calmed down.
Scars never disappear completely, but optimising them is important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for medical ones. Although the focus of surgery is on closing the scars, optimal pre- and post-operative care makes all the difference here too.
We’ll show you how scars, regardless of their origin or age, can be improved. We’ll even show you how to prepare for planned scar areas.
We also give experts a chance to have their say.
