Which doctor to contact

If a person has a scar or a scar that he wants to get rid of, first of all, you need to contact a dermatologist. The doctor will advise medicines indicated for different types of scars. In addition to drug treatment, skin formations can be removed in a beauty parlor, and in some cases, surgically.

Although there is an opinion that scars adorn a man, not all scars look aesthetically pleasing. And for women, their appearance can cause deep depression, especially if these scars are on the face.

There is no longer a need to constantly hide scars under clothes or under a thick layer of foundation. The development of medicine allows you to get rid of these skin defects without surgery and needles. And although the result from the use of external agents will not appear so quickly, they are much safer and cheaper than alternative methods of treatment.

Main characteristics

Each ointment for scars and scars on the face and body may contain a different amount of active substances, vitamins, minerals and hormones. The ingredients contained in the preparations are usually divided into 4 groups:

  • Keratolic (stop the formation of scar tissue, restore the epidermis, increase immunity);
  • Anti-inflammatory (destroy bacteria, eliminate inflammatory processes);
  • Antithrombotic (improve blood circulation, prevent the formation of blood clots);
  • Fibrinolytic (dissolve blood clots, stimulate collagen growth).

The action of all medicines is local, it is aimed solely at eliminating defects in the skin surface. Most of them are applicable only on completely healed areas of the epidermis. Antibacterial ointments quickly penetrate into the deep layers of the epidermis, restoring tissue from the inside, without harming the patient's health.

There is a group of drugs that can prevent the appearance of scars. These include "Rescuer", "Solcoseryl", "Levomethyl" or "Levomekol". These products help the skin recover from minor damage, destroy bacteria. With them, you can forget about the scars from scratches or cuts. But it is worth remembering that the use of ointments containing an antibiotic must be agreed with your doctor.

It is not recommended to use several different products that have the same effect in order to avoid overdose. It is enough to choose the right cream that is most suitable for a particular case. You can focus on the price, real reviews and the composition of the product. Be careful when choosing a cream if you are allergic to any substances. Also, during pregnancy and lactation, not all of them can be used.

Before using this or that drug, it is necessary to consult with a dermatologist.

Application

All manufacturers of medicines make sure that their product is not only effective, but also convenient. The most popular today are ointments, creams and gels, since they require almost no effort to apply to the skin. Medicinal products are available in tubes, bottles and jars of various sizes and shapes.

Like other medicines, scar removal preparations have a number of contraindications. They should not be used in case of individual intolerance to the components, used to treat wounds that have healed only partially or are complicated by an inflammatory and purulent process. It is forbidden to use ointments with absorbable action in the presence of a tumor process in the area of ​​​​the scar or in the case when the scar is in close proximity to the mucous membrane of the eyes.

Since preparations for scars and acne are intended for external use, they practically do not have a negative effect on the body. But with increased sensitivity to the components, they can cause allergic skin reactions - itching, hyperemia, rashes. Therefore, before buying an ointment for scar resorption, consult a dermatologist or cosmetologist and find out possible contraindications.

Popular ointments for scars and scars: an overview

Specialists in the field of dermatology most often recommend the following remedies to their patients:

Contractubex gel

From the German manufacturer MerzPharma, it is designed to eliminate minor skin defects and post-acne. This is the best ointment after chickenpox for scars, because it actively restores and regenerates healthy skin cells, softens hard scar tissues by preventing the growth of fibroblasts (connective tissue cells).

Additionally, the drug improves the processes of blood circulation and air exchange, provides antiseptic, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects. The active substances of Contractubex are an extract (extract) from onion serae, allantoin and heparin.

When treating fresh scars, the gel is rubbed into the affected area 2-3 times a day for 4 weeks. Removal of chronic scars requires a longer application (from 4 to 6 months). To enhance the effect, the gel can be combined with an ultrasound procedure or applied under a bandage (after steaming the skin in hot water).

The gel can be used practically without restrictions, even during pregnancy and in childhood, the only contraindication is hypersensitivity to the components of the drug. The average price of Contractubex is from 450 rubles per tube of 20 g.

Dermatix (Dermatix Ultra)

The best silicone gel from the Dutch pharmaceutical company. It is a transparent, viscous, colorless and odorless mass, which, after application, quickly forms an airtight protective film on the surface of the scar. The active substances of the drug are silicon dioxide, polysiloxanes and vitamin C. This remedy is perfect for removing scars of varying complexity (both fresh and old).

The principle of operation of Dermatix is ​​based on the elimination of unpleasant sensations - itching, burning in the area of ​​the scar, pigmentation and redness. The film that the gel, after drying, leaves on the surface of the damaged area, helps to retain moisture, soften the scar tissue and accelerate the resorption of the scar.

The duration of treatment with daily double treatment takes on average about 2 months. This is a completely safe scar resorption ointment, which rarely causes adverse reactions and can be used in children and adults, as well as during pregnancy and lactation. The price of the drug is from 1500 rubles.

Kelo-Cote (Kelo-Cote)

Products from American manufacturers, which are available in the form of a gel and spray. It is used to heal and prevent the formation of almost all types of scars. The main active ingredients, like all other silicone gels, are polysiloxanes, as well as silicone dioxide.

The use of the drug allows you to get rid of the scar due to the fact that the active substances create a protective film that allows you to maintain water balance, moisturize and soften the surface of the scar, as well as activate collagen synthesis, accelerate cell regeneration and relieve the accompanying itching and irritation.

Immediately after application, a film is formed on the surface of the charm that does not allow air to pass through, which protects the skin from external influences throughout the day. Silicone gel can be safely used on any part of the body, it is well tolerated, does not cause irritation and other negative reactions.

The drug can be used without restrictions for adults and children. In combination with microdermabrasion and laser resurfacing, this is the best ointment for post-surgery scars, which is recommended for use after removal of stitches. However, the cost of this drug is high - a gel with a volume of 15 g costs from 2000 rubles, a gel in a tube with a volume of 60 g - from 8000 rubles, a spray (100 ml) - from 3500 rubles.

Zeraderm (Zeraderm Ultra)

Another representative of the group of silicone gels, the principle of which is to create a protective, moisture-retaining film on the surface of the scar. The composition of the preparation, in addition to silicone compounds, is enriched with coenzyme Q 10, a light-protective filter, active oxygen and vitamins K and E.

This is one of the best preparations for scars and acne on the face, as it provides UV protection and allows you to use decorative cosmetics over the protective film.

Otherwise, the principle of action of the gel is practically no different from other silicone-based anti-scarring agents. The drug is prescribed for adults and children immediately after wound healing. The gel is applied twice a day for 2 weeks or longer.

The duration of treatment depends on the age of the patient, the condition and type of skin, the structure of the scar and other individual characteristics. The cost of a Zeraderma tube (20 g) averages from 500 to 700 rubles.

Cream with a refreshing aroma to remove scars, from the German company Sandoz Farmasyut. It contains heparin, urea and camphor, which provide absorbable, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects. The use of the drug allows you to smooth and even out the skin in the scar area, soften and moisturize hardened areas, improve blood circulation and speed up regeneration processes in the damaged area.

This cream is successfully used to prevent stretch marks that form after pregnancy or due to rapid weight loss. But during the bearing of a child, during lactation and in childhood, this drug cannot be used.

To eliminate fresh cosmetic defects, the cream is used twice a day, when treating old scars, the frequency of application is increased and additional compresses are made with the cream at night. The drug Kelofibraz is also quite expensive, for a tube of cream with a volume of 50 g you will have to pay 2500 rubles.

The gel from domestic manufacturers is produced by the High Technologies company in the form of a gel in tubes (20g) and bottles with a dry powder for the electrophoresis procedure. It is intended for the treatment of post-acne, as well as fresh or old keloid and hypertrophic scars. The basis of the drug is animal collagenases isolated from freshwater and marine organisms.

It is this innovative basis that ensures the breakdown of amino acids that make up the protein basis of scars and scars. Additionally, the drug helps to eliminate discomfort, itching, has an antiseptic, analgesic and resolving effect.

Regular use of the gel helps to lighten and soften the scar, reduce its size, increase skin elasticity.

The gel has established itself as an excellent remedy for scars on the face left after furunculosis or acne. The drug can be used practically without restrictions in adults and children, atrophic scars and individual sensitivity to collagenase are contraindications for use. The cost of a gel (10g) is on average 700 rubles.

The gel from the German company Merz Pharma is similar in composition to Contractubex, with the exception of heparin, which is absent in this preparation. The gel is recommended to be used to eliminate fresh cicatricial changes, the “age” of which is not more than a year - stretch marks, atrophic scars after burns, peels or cosmetic procedures to remove neoplasms. In the treatment of keloid and hypertrophic scars, the effectiveness of the drug is not too high.

The drug slows down the formation of fibroblasts, accelerates the synthesis of collagen fibers and the regeneration of skin cells, improves blood circulation, has an antibacterial effect, and effectively fights the inflammatory process on the skin.

The duration of treatment is individual, on average this process takes from 3 to 6 months with daily use of the gel up to 3 times a day. The drug has no restrictions for use in pregnant women and children, but in some cases it can cause allergic reactions. The price of a gel in a 20g tube is from 500 rubles.

Skagard (liquid cream)

The basis of the drug is the hormone hydrocortisone, silicone and vitamin E. The cream should be applied to the scar with a special brush, it dries quickly and forms a film like a pressure bandage.

Under the film, the active components of the drug activate the production of collagen and accelerate the resorption of the scar. The huge advantage of the drug is that after the film has dried, sunscreens and decorative cosmetics can be applied on top of it.

The drug is quite safe, it can be used in children older than 2 years, but during pregnancy and lactation it is better to refrain from using the cream. The course of treatment can last from 1 to 6 months, during which Skagard is used twice a day. Prices for the drug "bite" - the cost of a small tube of cream (15 ml) is about 6,000 rubles.

Inexpensive ointment for scars and scars

Most anti-scar preparations are expensive, however, in pharmacies it is quite possible to find funds at a quite budget price. Among them, the most popular are:

Cream Clearvin

The drug effectively removes age spots left on the face after acne, and prevents the formation of postpartum stretch marks on the skin. The main advantage of the drug is in its natural composition, containing only natural ingredients.

The Indian-made cream was created on the basis of the ancient teachings of Ayurveda, it is based on extracts from local plants - aloe vera, vachi, calamus, basil, margosa, lodhra. Their therapeutic effect is enhanced by additional components - turmeric, beeswax, vitamins and trace elements.

The cream well levels and brightens the skin, has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiseptic effects, perfectly softens and moisturizes scar structures, improves the tone and elasticity of the epidermis, and accelerates the resorption of scars. This is one of the most inexpensive drugs - its cost is just over 100 rubles.

The average cost of the drug is from 120 rubles per tube (30g).

Modern aesthetic medicine is constantly looking for ways to help people get rid of unaesthetic and sometimes uncomfortable skin defects. There are very effective hardware, injection and surgical techniques, but they all have their own strict indications and contraindications, and many are also very expensive.

That is why various creams, ointments and gels from scars and scars are becoming more and more popular. The main advantage of such drugs is the ability to use them at home, without visiting a clinic or beauty parlor. They are very easy to use and are most often sold over-the-counter in pharmacies or directly from vendors.

The use of absorbable and softening scars and scars creams is most effective for shallow skin defects. When it comes to more serious damage, stronger methods come to the fore, such as ultrasound and or hormone therapy. The use of absorbable ointments in this case is recommended as an additional tool that can enhance the result.

In addition, creams are also good for preventing scarring from wounds and cuts, as well as situations in which stretch marks are likely to form, such as sudden weight gain or pregnancy.

Principles and features of the action of anti-scar preparations

The funds under consideration may contain various surfactants, vitamins, minerals, hormonal agents, essential oils of plants: their composition is quite diverse and they also “work” according to different principles. But in all cases, creams, ointments and gels act locally, without affecting the body as a whole.

The main purpose of such drugs is to reduce the size and height of the scar, lighten it, which makes the scar less noticeable, soften and eliminate tightness. When used on fresh lesions (with fully healed wounds), further growth of scar tissue can be prevented, itching and redness can be reduced.

Depending on the active ingredients, certain external agents normalize blood circulation, increase collagen synthesis, increase local immunity, have an antibacterial effect, and maintain the skin's water balance.

The doctor will help you choose the best option in each case, after a detailed study of the type and size of the scar formation. Also, it is worth remembering that:

  • Normotrophic (located at the level of the skin) scars are easily treated with creams.
  • To remove (above the level of the skin), (flabby, below the level of the skin) and apply complex therapy, which may include both the use of hardware cosmetology in conjunction with ointments, and surgical treatment.
  • Fresh scars are always much easier to heal than old ones, in which the metabolic processes have practically stopped.

The best ointments and creams for scars and scars

It is important to note right away that there have been no serious scientific studies comparing the effectiveness of various anti-scarring drugs. However, some experience gained by doctors and patients allows us to single out several unambiguous “favorites”:

A drug Peculiarities Photo

Contains sodium heparin, allantoin, serae onion extract. It slows down the formation of scar tissue, stimulates the production of collagen, and has an anti-inflammatory effect. Effective for removing shallow skin defects. To enhance the action, it is recommended to use it together with ultrasound.
Increases blood circulation in the skin, saturates it with moisture and maintains water balance, has an anti-inflammatory effect. The main active ingredients are urea and sodium heparin. It can also be used to prevent stretch marks in case of weight fluctuations.
The main active ingredients are polysiloxane and silicone dioxide. Forms an imperceptible film on the surface of the scar during movement, which protects and heals tissues for 24 hours. It relieves itching and irritation, a feeling of tightness, restores water balance, smoothes scars, stops the growth of connective tissues. The Solaire series has an additional UV filter.
They are almost transparent silicone plates 10x10 cm in size. Using a bandage or patch, the plate is attached to the damaged area of ​​the skin. They are used to remove all types of scars, the duration of therapy depends on the size and maturity of the lesions.
Contains hydrocortisone, silicone and vitamin E. When applied, it forms a transparent film that compresses damaged tissues and promotes their healing. The film must be renewed 2 times a day throughout the entire treatment period.
It is most often used for resorption of scars after operations, especially in children. After drawing forms a dense, waterproof film. This preparation is one of the best options for treating facial skin, as it provides UV protection and does not interfere with the application of cosmetics over it.
Contains silicone and silicon dioxide. As well as previous products, it forms a breathable film that prevents the surface from mechanical damage. It is used for scars of varying complexity, as well as for the prevention of their formation.
Consists of collagenases (enzymes that break down collagen) of animal origin, due to which it is very effective when working with both fresh scars and age ones, incl. over 6 years old. In the latter case, for the best result, it is desirable to carry out electrophoresis with this drug, i.e. doctor's help is required.
Its composition is similar to Contractubex, but does not contain heparin. It is believed that this drug gives very good results in the correction of atrophic scars, stretch marks, but is noticeably less effective in the case of keloids and hypertrophic scars.

The effectiveness of scar removal using cosmetics depends on the size of the damage, the degree of bulge above the skin surface, the "age" of the scar. Small recent defects can be easily corrected, older and larger ones require long-term therapy using additional treatment methods.

The choice of cream is best done under the supervision of a specialist, this will allow you to individually select the most effective drug, avoid the occurrence of allergic reactions and waste of money.

Scars and scars remain on the human body after operations, injuries and cuts. Some people perceive them as a cosmetic problem, others feel soreness, itching and burning in the affected area.

What scars and scars can be removed by local means

Based on the experience of doctors and cosmetologists, newly formed scars are better treated with external agents. The first time after the operation, metabolic processes continue to occur in their tissues. Normotrophic scars are located at the level of the skin and are barely noticeable due to the pale shade. Easily removed by local means.

Atrophic scars are characterized by a flabby structure. They look sunken and have a pinkish tint. An example is postpartum stretch marks on the body in women, scars after cauterization of skin neoplasms. Atrophic scars are well removed using products that contain a silicone component and are used with electrophoresis.

Keloid and most pronounced. They are striking with a bluish-reddish tint and a bumpy structure. To the touch, such scars are dense. They cause mild soreness and itching. No ointment for resorption of scars and scars can cope with keloids and hypertrophic scars. Their correction requires an integrated approach, which includes laser resurfacing, plastic surgery and the use of absorbable medications.

What are the indications for the use of external agents for scars and scars:

  • Keloids.
  • Dupuytren's contracture.
  • hypertrophic scars.
  • Normotrophic scars.
  • Prevention of tissue scarring after a surgical skin incision.
  • Atrophic scars after furunculosis, chickenpox, acne.
  • Tendon contractures as a consequence of injury.
  • Stretch marks after pregnancy or sudden weight loss.
  • Ankylosis, limiting the mobility of the joints.
