When undergoing a surgical procedure, many people worry about how will get the scar. There are already new techniques to maximum minimize the skin marks. And winter, which is coming, is the ideal time for these types of treatment.

Scars can occur in three ways: atrophic (thin and pleated), hypertrophic (high and fibrous) and keloid type. The appearance will depend on how the skin reacts to an injury, usually determined by ethnic factors. The fair skin, unlike the black and Asian skin, heals faster and has fewer tendencies to form keloids.

With the advancement of esthetic technology it is possible to use techniques and treatments that can soften these unwanted marks. There are already several surgical methods, esthetic and dermatological safe, to make the signs imperceptible.

New techniques such as laser, betatherapy and fillers complement the action of established methods, such as making massage with specific creams and the use of slabs of silicone, used to accelerate the maturation of scars. The aim is always to apply the techniques and finest materials in an attempt to get thin and barely visible scars.

The big news to make up the scar comes from the clinics of plastic surgery. Instead of using the traditional nylon wire for suturing the incision, doctors are using fibrin glue, a substance that accelerates the closing of blood vessels opened by surgery, improving the adhesion of the skin, dispensing the surgical stitches and thus minimizing the scar.

It is not possible to completely eliminate the scar, because a substitute skin will never be the same as before. However, it is possible to achieve good results if a proper post-operative treatment is done.
