On hot summer days, sunshine, beaches, cool swimwear, and shorts become the standard for people seeking comfort. However, for those who have scars on their skin for various reasons, these summer pleasures may be greatly reduced by the presence of scars.

PART.01
Causes of Scars
Scar formation is the skin's natural response to injury. When the skin is deeply damaged, such as by surgical incisions, burns, scalds, abrasions, etc., the body will initiate a repair mechanism, filling the wound by proliferating new skin tissue. During this process, fibroblasts proliferate greatly, forming new collagen fibers to fill the wound, thus forming a scar.
PART.02
Classification of Scars
Scars can be classified according to their appearance, texture, and cause. Common types of scars include:
Superficial Scars Also known as flat scars, they generally only involve the epidermis or superficial dermis. The skin surface is rough or has discoloration, and the area is flat and soft, generally without functional impairment. Over time, the scar will gradually become less noticeable.
Hypertrophic Scars: Also known as hypertrophic scars, these are formed due to excessive proliferation of fibroblasts. These scars are usually raised above the skin surface, red or purple in color, hard in texture, and sometimes accompanied by itching or pain.
Atrophic Scars: Also known as depressed scars, generally caused by more severe damage, involving the full thickness of the skin and subcutaneous tissue. The scar is hard, flat, or slightly raised above the skin surface, and is tightly adhered to deep tissues such as muscles, tendons, and nerves. It is seen in acne infections and after trauma.
Keloid Scars: Also known as keloids, these are a special type of scar. Keloids often extend beyond the original wound boundary, appearing nodular, cord-like, or sheet-like. They are raised, hard, often itchy and painful, and generally do not regress spontaneously. They have the tumor characteristic of unlimited proliferation.
PART.03
What to do about the above scars?
When faced with different types of scars, we can take the following measures to cope:
Consult a professional doctor: First, you should consult a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to understand the specific condition and treatment plan for the scar. The doctor will tailor a personalized treatment plan for you based on the type, location, and individual differences of the scar.
Use scar repair products: For some lighter scars, you can choose to use commercially available scar repair products. These products usually contain silicone, vitamin E, and other ingredients that help lighten scar color, improve texture, and appearance. However, please note that different products may have different effects on different types of scars, so choosing the right product for yourself is very important.
Laser treatment: For some hypertrophic scars or keloids, laser treatment may be an effective option. Lasers can stimulate collagen regeneration in the deep layers of the skin, promoting the softening and smoothing of scar tissue. However, laser treatment usually requires multiple sessions, and the effect also varies depending on individual differences.
Surgical repair: In some severe cases, such as when scars severely affect appearance or function, surgical repair may need to be considered. Surgical methods include scar excision, skin grafting, etc., and the specific method should be determined based on the scar condition and doctor's recommendations.
Under normal circumstances, on the one hand, due to the poor permeability of the raw materials themselves, and on the other hand, due to the characteristics of the skin stratum corneum barrier and its structure, only a very small part of topical drugs can be absorbed by the skin when treating skin diseases. The drug cannot penetrate the deep layers of the skin in sufficient amounts, affecting the efficacy.
And using Silicone to prevent scars, there is literature evidence [2017 Chinese Expert Consensus on Clinical Scar Prevention and Treatment] that it can improve pathological skin scars and prevent scar formation.
