You may experience brief pain when getting scar injections, which usually disappears within minutes after the injection. The effectiveness and recovery time of scar injections vary from person to person, but it typically takes several weeks to several months to see noticeable results.
Scar injections, also known as scar treatments, are a treatment method used to treat scars. They work by injecting medication directly into the scar tissue. Commonly used medications include corticosteroids, which reduce inflammation and swelling in the scar tissue, thus promoting softening and flattening of the scar. The pain during the injection mainly comes from the process of the needle penetrating the skin; this pain usually subsides and disappears within minutes after the injection. Mild redness and pain may occur at the injection site for a few days after the injection; this is a normal reaction and usually subsides gradually within a few days.
The effectiveness and recovery time of scar injections depend on a variety of factors, including the type, size, and location of the scar, as well as the individual's healing ability. Generally, after corticosteroid injections, scar tissue will gradually soften and flatten over several weeks to several months. Each person's situation is unique, therefore treatment results and recovery time will vary. Regular follow-up appointments to monitor changes in the scar are crucial during treatment, allowing doctors to adjust the treatment plan promptly for optimal outcomes.
[Management Tip:]
1. After the injection, slight redness and pain may occur at the injection site. This is a normal reaction and will usually subside gradually within a few days.
2. Regular follow-up visits to monitor changes in the scars help doctors adjust treatment plans in a timely manner to achieve the best treatment results.
3. Avoid strenuous exercise or heavy physical labor immediately after injection to avoid affecting the treatment effect.
