Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting burnt is a painful situation to go through and when you have to add being scarred not only physically but also emotionally from the experience, it only makes it worse. There is a different classification of the burns that people suffer; they are placed into categories of first, second and third degree burns to speak to the degree to which the burn has penetrated the skin as well as the tissues. The flesh can be burnt via electricity, chemicals, friction, and heat, among others.There are ways in which to treat burns, but it is dependent on the degree of the burn that you will make the decision as to if it can be treated at home using natural remedies or if you will need to see a doctor immediately so as to avoid infection and even death as the latter is possible if the burn is not treated properly. There are also ways and means by which you can prevent the scarring of the burnt area, or to reduce the level of scarring that result from you being burnt.There are also methods that can be used to fade the scars that you receive as a result of being burnt, albeit these scars cannot be completely removed. The way you treat your burn in the first instance of being burnt will be a big determinant of if you are scarred any at all as well as to the level of scarring that will result in the long run.Table of ContentsTypes Of Burn Scars : 2nd Or 3rd Degree BurnsPrevent Burn Scars : A Few Steps On Preventing Burn ScarsHealing Burn Scars : Medical Healing MethodsCream For Burn Scars : Brands We Recommend That WorkHow To Treat Burn Scars : A Few Tips On How To Treat ThemHow To Heal Burn Scars : Simple Guide On TreatingHow To Remove Burn Scars Naturally : Home Remedies For BurnHow To Reduce Burn ScarsHow To Fade Burn ScarsVitamin E For Burn Scars : How This WorksBio Oil For Burn Scars : Is This An Option For EveryoneLaser Treatment For Burn Scars : Is It Worth It

Download or read book Scar Management ECAB written by Niti Khunger and published by Elsevier Health Sciences. This book was released on 2013-07-12 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A number of scar revision techniques can be utilized to treat specific types of scars, in combination with each other or with adjunctive therapies to achieve optimal results. Pathological conditions like hypertrophic scars and keloids are still challenging. Though a number of therapies exist to treat keloids, such as intralesional steroids and anti-metabolites, cryosurgery, to name a few, none are definitive in treatment. Understanding the molecular basis of keloids may lead to development of new therapies. Striae, also known as ‘stretch marks’, are extremely common, disfiguring and a real challenge to treat. Management of striae is a neglected field of research. Except for topical retinoids, the efficacy satisfactorily. Current treatment options include chemical peels, lasers and collagen induction therapy, with a tendency towards active intervention. However, studies are necessary to determine treatment strategies which produce results that are effective with minimal adverse effects. Post-acne scarring is one of the most common causes of facial scars, causing considerable cosmetic disability. Acne is a common skin disorder, unfortunately affecting a large number of teenagers. Usually patients have a combination of different types of scars; hence no single modality is useful. A combination of procedures is generally required for a satisfactory cosmetic outcome. The use of fractional lasers is gaining importance, as it is a minimally invasive procedure as compared to aggressive resurfacing procedures of the past. Collagen induction therapy is another promising technique. Today, patients are also getting up-to-date information about the various modalities available for scar treatment through media, such as magazines, advertisements and internet. However, exaggerated advertisements and information from nonprofessional sources, particularly with regard to lasers can influence patient expectations and result in unrealistic expectations. Patients need to understand that deep scars cannot be eliminated fully and can only be improved. They usually have high expectations from procedural techniques. Proper counseling is extremely important for a happy and satisfactory outcome. Current innovations and techniques in scar prevention and management and increasing use of minimally invasive surgeries are paving the way toward smoother, less noticeable scars. Every surgeon practicing aesthetics should be well versed with modalities of scar management and this is the aim of this clinical update.
