Abstract
Facial scarring is a psychologically devastating condition and the affected patient invariably suffers from low self-esteem and many other psychological ill-effects. Facial scars come in numerous forms and may be caused by injuries, acne, burns, or surgery. Since your face is constantly exposed to the environment, scars on this part of your body may have a harder time healing. Whereas you may be able to cover other areas of your body, your face is always open. Scars vary greatly in quality, depending on individual and racial patient skin features, the nature of the trauma, and the conditions of wound healing. Facial scarring has always been a challenge to treat and there are different treatment options for the management of these scars. Scars can’t be removed completely, but they can often be made less visible. A set of strategies to minimize the risk of scar formation is applied to all types of scars before, during and after surgery. This includes measures to reduce skin tension, and to provide taping, hydration and ultraviolet (UV) protection of the early scar tissue. Silicone sheeting or gel is universally considered as the first-line prophylactic and treatment option for hypertrophic scars and keloids.
