Accident scars are scars caused by injuries or accidents, such as cuts, burns, or other types of traumas to the skin. These scars can be unsightly and can make people self-conscious about their appearance. Accident scars can range in severity from small, shallow scars to deep, disfiguring scars.

CLASSIFICATION OF ACCIDENT SCARS

There are several treatments that may be used in a skin clinic to help reduce the appearance of accident scars. Some common treatments for accident scars include:

Laser skin resurfacing : The treatment utilizes the power of a laser to eliminate layers of dead cells from the skin and to stimulate the production of collagen, which may help enhance the appearance of accident wounds.

Microdermabrasion : This procedure uses a handheld instrument to gently strip an outer layer contaminated with dead skin cells, which may help improve the appearance of the accident marks.

Chemical peels : This procedure is done by applying chemical solutions on the skin, which results in the dead cells of the skin to fall off, revealing smoother and healthier skin.

Topical creams and ointments : Several over-the-counter and prescription creams and ointments can be applied to the skin to help reduce the appearance of accident scars.
