Hi there,
I would like to know what are the vitamins can make scars fade and invisible?? I heard that vitamin E will repairs scars and make it fade and will gone forever.Is it true? If yes,how long will it takes to fade a scar?
A scar is an overgrowth of fibrous tissue and blood vessels that form as a result of injury, a cut or a burn.
Sometimes surgery may be required to improve the scar. In this case, the surgeon will remove excess scar tissue, and reposition the incision so that it heals in a less visible pattern. This scar removal surgery is usually done under local or general anesthesia in the doctor's office.
Vit E creams are supposed to lighten scars, so you could apply them directly on the scar,but it may take e long time for results to show, if at all.
Scars, especially old scars, may be treated with PhotoDerm, a non-invasive, laser-like device that emits an intense flash of light that works directly on the scar by reducing the blood vessels present in the scar tissue.
