How do facial scars recover in time?
According toDr Lee, numerous scars will follow a basic pattern of healing with soreness and swelling being among the very first indications of recovery. But for much deeper, more broken scars, the Dr Pimple Popper star noted it will take longer to fade.
“Most scars will become lighter in color than your regular skin tone—called hypopigmentation,” she stated. “But those of us, myself included, who have a darker skin tone will have a scar go from red to darker brown—called post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—before it eventually fades to slightly lighter than natural skin tone.”
Are there various kinds of scars?
“There are many different types of scars, especially on the face,”Dr Lee shared. “Scars from trauma or surgery, keloids—scars that grow out of control—scars after acne (which there are four to five ‘types’ and is another discussion).”
Additionally, the skin specialist explained that understanding the kind of scar you have is significant to enhancing it. But she suggested signing in with your skin specialist to find out the correct strategy, a relocation Bonelli informed NBC she made August 2022.
