SURGICAL SKIN GRAFT SCARS

These images show our 63-year old patient before and 8 weeks after a single CO2 laser treatment for the skin graft on his left lower eyelid.

This skin graft was performed 8 weeks prior to his laser treatment - necessary post-removal of a deep skin cancer by a plastic surgery colleague. As the grafts heal they usually contract, which was pulling his lower lid down and he was referred to The Scar Clinic by his specialist for early aggressive scar treatment.

8 weeks after a single CO2 laser treatment the scar has loosened significantly, allowing the lower lid position to improve, reducing dryness and improving symmetry and appearance.

These photographs are of an actual patient treated at The Scar Clinic Perth by Dr Helen Douglas who has given his permission for use of these images for education and marketing.

SKIN GRAFT SCARS

Whether after injury or following skin cancer removal, a skin graft will leave a scar.

Skin graft scars can be thick, itchy and red early on and tight and uncomfortable later.

CO2 laser treatment can help to make the skin graft scar look, feel and move better.

This is by making it more pliable - the laser channels ‘perforate’ the scar and leave it feeling looser so it moves more freely and you can pick it up like normal skin. It also flattens any thicker areas.

Skin graft scars can be treated for thickness or tightness weeks, months or years after the skin graft and get improvement.

SURGICAL SCARS

This picture shows a thick hypertrophic surgical scar on the wrist of our 45-year old patient - she has given permission to share this image.

The scar is red, itchy, restrictive and very visible.

CO2 laser treatment can improve these scars by flattening and improving the colour as there is less blood-filled collagen in the scar post-treatment.

EAR KELOID SCARS

These images show our 41-year old patient before and 5 months after a single CO2 laser and steroid treatment for the thick keloid on her earlobe.

This had previously been excised at a different clinic and had grown back larger and more painful. After a single combination laser and steroid treatment it has shrunk significantly and the colour improved.

Further treatment combined with a scar compression device will continue to flatten this recurrent keloid scar.

ACNE SCARS

This picture shows some undulating ‘box-car’ acne scars on the cheek of our 28-year old patient - she has given permission to share this image.

These types of acne scars create contour differences on the skin, which cast shadows and make scars appear more obvious.

CO2 resurfacing laser can help to improve these scars by smoothing the contour differences and modern laser technology means that most skin types can be treated.

Q: How soon after healing can I have laser?

A: From 6 weeks after the operation or injury

At The Scar Clinic Perth we treat all types of scars at many different time points in the patient’s scar journey.

Some scars you just know are going to be higher risk of being problematic than others including:

- Scars on the central chest, deltoid or over joints
- Scars from wounds which took a while to heal
- Scars in people with a history of problematic scarring including keloids or thicker scars
- Scars in people with more pigment in their skin
- Scars in cosmetically or functionally sensitive areas such as the face or hands

In these groups we would recommend reviewing the scar at 6 weeks post-op or post-injury and if the scar looks redder or slightly thicker than expected then a clinician or patient could consider early CO2 laser to improve the scar.

We know that some clinicians treat scars earlier or later than this with CO2 laser - this is just what we have found works, especially after the ELIPSE randomised controlled trial - so we can catch the scar early in the remodelling phase whilst avoiding over-treating.

BREAST SCARS

We have posted previously about scars that are high risk for poorer scarring - breast scars fall into this group for several reasons:

Scars across the chest are usually thicker - no one is completely sure why but evidence points to the constant movement of our chest caused by breathing

In lots of breast surgery (reduction, lifts and reconstruction) the skin and soft tissues are repositioned and re-draped and tension will exist more in these types of procedure where tightening and lifting is the key principle

Fortunately these scars are usually very effectively treated with CO2 laser which can start at 6 weeks after the operation - especially for any scars which had delayed healing, or which are redder, tighter or thicker than desired.

NATIONAL COMPLIMENT DAY!

Tomorrow is National Compliment Day - since 1998 January 24th has been a day where we try to celebrate positivity by noticing the positive things in our lives and the people as well and try to enjoy giving compliments.

Some of us struggle to receive compliments well - if you often end up deflecting them, try a simple ‘thank you’ or ‘thanks, that means a lot’

It’s a day to try complimenting actions as well appearances - someone’s caring nature, kind deeds or the ability to make you smile.

And as always, if you have a scar and you would like some expert advice on the options available to improve it, then contact us on:
