Chemicals For Scars
A scar remover works by getting rid of scars to give the skin its original appearance. Using chemicals is a quick way to do away with scars, because chemicals leave the skin looking smooth and even.
The types of chemicals used as a scar remover vary. They can be grouped into mild and severe chemicals. Mild ones can be applied from home by the individual himself/herself. Severe ones are administered by health professionals. The chemical causes peeling of the outer skin, which creates room for new cells to grow.
Decide on the Chemical You Are Going to Use
It’s important to decide on which scar remover is most suitable for you. The doctors/ dermatologist will advise on which chemical is most suitable for you. The internet can be very resourceful. The chemical to be used is dependent on:
Cause of the injury
Size of the scar
The persons age
Location of the scar
Age of the scar
Search for information on how to remove scars using chemicals. Different chemicals will work best for specific scars. Be sure to determine which one best suits you. A chemical that works best on a certain part of the body may cause damage if used on another part.
Gather Information
It is important to do a comprehensive research before using any chemicals as scar remover. Chemicals are dangerous if not properly handled.
Examples of facts you must look for in your research include
Application procedure
Expected results
Recovery periods
Extra medication required
Search this information based on the type of chemical you are going to use to remove scars. If you are getting treatment done by a health professional, visit them at their office to get this information.
Prepare your Skin for the Scar Remover
It is important you take good care of your skin a few days before applying the chemical. This will ensure that the chemical works well to produce the desired result.
The purpose of taking care of the skin is to:
Slow down production of melanin
Prevent the skin from cracking when the chemical is applied
Slow down production of cell before the chemical is applied
Ensure that the skin has an even tone after application of the chemical
Ensure that the skin heals faster
Preparing the skin will involve application of certain substances daily. This will serve as a preventive measure against any damage caused by chemicals. Preparation also starts the toning process. Your skin will have an even tone once you get rid of scars.
Scar Remover Application Procedure
Once the preparation is over, you can go ahead and apply the chemical.
The application process takes place in the following steps:
Cleaning the skin
Application of the chemical
Neutralizing the acid
Moisturizing the skin
The scar remover is applied to the skin and left to stand for a specific period of time. Time is dependent on the type of chemical and the nature of the scar. The chemical is cleaned off from the skin using a neutralizer. Never use water. You will experience pain/irritation that will last a while.
Recovery
After application of the scar remover, the skin will take some time to heal. Certain changes will occur to the skin so as to produce the desired results.
Some of the changes you might expect to see include:
The scar starts to peel
The skin area around the scar feels tight
Itching on the scar
Color change
All or some of these changes will be experienced during recovery. To get the best results, don’t itch or peel the skin. Just wash your skin at least twice daily and apply the recommended moisturizer. Incase bleeding occurs, consult the doctor immediately.
Using chemicals is a fast and effective way to remove any scars on your body. Chemicals are preferred by people because they are cheap. Another advantage is that they take only a few days to produce the desired results.
Chemicals are good for scars treatments but they also have their short comings. They may cause further damage to the skin. Using chemicals exposes one to the risk of getting more scars. The skin is also prone to getting cracks and change in complexion.
Before applying any scar healing chemical, you should ensure that you are aware of the risks and benefits. If you are carrying out the procedure at home, make sure you follow the correct way to do it. Always make sure to read the instructions on the packaging of scar healing chemicals.
