do scars resulting from deep facial lacerations go away. How can they be reduced. Is time a remedy?

Filed under: lacerations 


depends on how jagged the cut was and exactly how deep. the deeper the damage the longer and harder it is to get rid of the scar. time can help a little with discoloration and healing, but once it's a scar that's it ur stuck with it pretty much. if the wound is still healing try keeping aquaphor or neosporin on it. if it's already healed try mederma, it's supposed to help minimize scars.

  2. Try Bio oil, it's expensive but does reduce the apperance of scars.

  6. Deep lacerations will not go away by themselves. You need to see a board certified dermotologist or a board certified plastic surgeon. There are now lasers on the market that could possibly give you the result that you want. Without seeing them, I can't really tell you for sure. However, there are other methods as well. My advice would be to see a plastic surgeon certified with ASPRS. You can find the ones that are certified by going to the ASPRS website. They will definitely be able to tell you what needs to be done. I CAN tell you that they can definitely be helped if not removed completely. If your plastic surgeon does not work with the new lasers, then he will send you to someone who does, if that is his recommendation. Many plastics don't charge for an initial consultation, or if they do, it is a negligible amount. Also, check with your insurance company..for something like this (reconstructive) they may cover it.

  8. No they won't go away but you can help to reduce the red scarring tissue. A friend of mine found that after major surgery if she put 100% vitamin E oil onto her scar 3 times a day, it helped to reduce her scar tissue. Even liquid colloidal silver or the gel applied liberally onto the lacerations can help to heal them. Here's a link I have found for you: http://www.colloidalsilvergel.com/ Hope this helps?

  10. As per a report many anti-acne products are known to worsen rosacea symptoms. Medical experts strongly urge rosacea sufferers to stop using these products. Rosacea is a common skin condition that affects many Americans, but it can also spread to the eyes and cause a constant gritty, burning sensation. I have been in search a product that works on my skin, I finally found it on one of acne rosacea review site. I use ZENMED Skin Support System – Dry Skin, and I saw results in weeks! I recommend to go for ZENMED Skin Support System – Dry Skin once. Cheers
