疤痕，對男士嚟講，可能係魅力嘅象徵。但係對女士嚟講，就係天敵！疤痕輕則影響外觀，重則令你越笑越見疤痕，大大影響自信。所以今天同大家分享 4 招，一齊「去去，疤痕走」！
Scars can be nothing for men but can be enemies for women! Scars may affect your appearance and confidence. Here are 4 tips to help tackle your scars.
1. 正確處理傷口
Proper Wound Care
當傷口癒合時，身體會製造纖維組織去填補傷口，稱之為疤痕。定時清洗消毒傷口，可以減少傷口被細菌感染嘅機會，以免皮膚再次受到破壞，令疤痕有機可乘。
When the wound is healing, our body produces collagen fibres to fill up the damage, which will eventually form scars. Regular cleaning of wound could reduce the risk of bacterial infection, preventing it from further damage and thus minimize scarring.
2. 除疤前確保傷口完全癒合
Make Sure Your Wound Is Completely Healed Before Scar Treatment
使用任何外用除疤產品之時，一定要先做好傷口護理，並確保傷口已經完全癒合，否則可能會有疤痕增生嘅反效果。
Besides proper wound care, make sure the wound is completely healed before applying any scar treatment products, or else it will hinder the healing process.
3. 選用含矽膠成分嘅產品
Choose Silicone Gel for Treatment
外用嘅除疤產品，原理係提供一個較好嘅環境比疤痕生長，令顏色變得較淡及減少增生。選用產品時，最好用含有矽膠成分嘅除疤膏或貼，減低疤痕組織附近嘅張力，令疤痕唔會因為外部拉扯而擴張及增生。
Silicone gel provides a better environment for scars to heal, making them look lighter and prevent excessive growth. Silicone ointments or sheets are recommended for topical treatment as it can reduce the skin tension around the scars, thus help flatten the scars.
4. 除疤需要耐性
Patience Can Make A Difference
其實無論用任何除疤方法，或多或少都會留下痕跡，除疤產品只係令疤痕睇上去無咁顯眼。而且需要使用兩至三個月先會見到明顯改善，同時間亦要做好防曬功夫。越早正確處理疤痕，除疤效果越理想。
All methods of scar treatment can never completely remove the scars. They are used to make the scars less noticeable. It takes around 2 to 3 months to achieve noticeable improvement. The earlier the treatment starts, the better the effect will be.
