Getting cuts and scars is a part of every child and some clumsy adults as well, but sometimes the scars are deep and become permanent because of a deep cut. It’s completely okay to have them as they make you look stronger, but if they appear on visible places like the face of hands, or legs, some people may feel uncomfortable, so they search for how to treat a cut scar. Though the scars fade away with time but for stubborn and permanent scars, Royal Cosmetic Surgery in Islamabad offers a number of safe and effective scar removal treatments that completely fade away the unwanted scars.
What Causes Cut Scars to Form?
When a body or skin layer gets injured or sliced open due to injury or because of surgery, the body’s natural healing mechanism forms a collagen layer of tissue to heal that injury. The collagen deposits in irregular patterns make it different from the rest of the skin, resulting in scar formation.
Do Cut Scars Fade on Their Own?
Yes, some cut scars fade away with time. Though they do not fade away completely, they become almost invisible, but in the case of deep scars, they may require additional treatments and medical assistance to get them to fade away.
How Do You Treat a Cut Scar?
You can treat deep and permanent cut scars with the help of the following treatments we offer at Royal Cosmetic Surgery in Islamabad:
Laser therapy:
In laser scar removal, the device emits a laser beam that either removes the scar tissue or pokes holes in it to stimulate collagen production. After the laser session, you will have a lighter and less prominent scar. For the best and complete results, multiple sessions are required.
PRP Microneedling:
Small micro-injuries are made on the scar, and then plasma, rich in growth factors, is combined with the injuries to trigger the healing process and make your scar look normal, like the rest of the skin.
Chemical peels:
A special formulation of safe chemicals is applied to the skin surface, which exfoliates the skin and generates a new skin formation, reducing the scar appearance as a result.
Steroid injections:
Steroid injections can help with raised scars by reducing collagen production.
Scar Revision Surgery:
This is one of the most effective and permanent methods in which doctors reopen the scar and stitch it back with such accuracy that they become invisible.
How Long Does It Take for a Cut Scar to Heal?
| Area of Treatment | Recommended Sessions | Details |
| Face | 1 session (surgery) or 3–6 sessions (laser) | Facial scar removal heals relatively faster, especially with laser therapy. |
| Abdomen | 1 session (surgery) or 3–6 sessions (laser/steroid therapy) | Abdominal scars may require a combination of laser or surgical methods for effective removal. |
| Arms & Legs | 1 session (surgery) or 3–6 sessions (laser/microneedling) | Post-surgical movement can delay healing; silicone sheets are often recommended for better recovery. |
Can Old Cut Scars Be Removed?
You cannot completely fade them, but many effective treatments, especially surgical scar removal, are the most effective ones to get rid of deep and old surgical scars that are not going away on their own, and through non-surgical treatments. The surgeons stitch back the scar with maximum accuracy so that their visibility becomes almost none.
How to Care for Skin After Scar Treatment:
- Keep the treatment site clean and dry.
- Drink plenty of water to avoid dryness.
- Use products based on your doctor’s recommendations.
- Apply sunscreen when stepping out.
- Avoid direct sunlight.
- Stick to your doctor’s aftercare instructions for a smooth and safe recovery.
