Wounds on the face: heal without a trace. Video
Healing of wounds on the face is distinguished by a number of specific features due to the superficial arrangement of blood vessels, prolonged swelling of damaged tissues and facial muscles, which makes it difficult to tighten the edges of the wound and the likelihood of its rapid infection.
Facial wound healing has a high potential for regeneration due to increased blood supply and good innervation in the facial area.
We are figuring out what can be done at home so that the wound on the face heals as quickly as possible and does not leave behind unaesthetic scars?
How to speed up wound healing
Non-infected wounds (pimple or scratch) heal rather quickly and do not damage the face, so it is enough to follow certain rules for caring for them. First of all, do not treat wounds on the face with undiluted medical alcohol and iodine.
Undiluted iodine and alcohol can burn and irritate the skin in the form of indelible dark spots, so always give preference to diluted medicines.
More complex wounds on the face (for example, after tattoo removal) should be treated with special wound healing products that stimulate tissue regeneration and improve tissue nutrition. The fast healing process means that rough scars on the skin are formed much less often and there is no need to remove scars. Similar products may be recommended to you either in the clinic where you removed the tattoo, or in the pharmacy.
To speed up the process, you should use wound healing agents that improve tissue nutrition and stimulate cell metabolism. If recovery is active, rough scars are much less likely to form. In parallel, you should take multivitamins and eat vegetables, fruits and protein products.
How to heal wounds on the face
Means for these purposes are in the form of jelly and ointment. The first is applied to a moist, oozing wound and creates an antibacterial film, due to which healing occurs much faster. Dry wounds are lubricated with ointment, the fatty base of which helps to successfully complete the regeneration of facial tissues.
At the first stage, the wound should stop being weeping, which is facilitated by the jelly, and after its transition to a dry state, the tissues should be moistened, and an ointment is more suitable for this.
– For good healing of any wound, including on the face, two conditions must be observed – this is the rule of asepsis (preventing the ingress of microorganisms into the wound) and the rule of antisepsis (destruction of microorganisms in the wound). If the wound is received outside a medical organization, then it must be properly treated in order to prevent the ingress of bacteria and various microorganisms. And if they got there, then we must somehow fight them (use the necessary drugs). Also, the edges of the wound should be well matched. Accordingly, if you have a large diastasis, then the wound must be sutured in order for it to heal by primary intention.
Important: the wound should be cleaned and sutured during the first 12 hours after injury, since any wound is considered conditionally contaminated. Wound care includes treatment, dressing changes and timely removal of stitches (if any) so that there are no marks left at the puncture site. If necessary, the doctor should monitor the healing process, prescribe ointments, gels or creams. If all these conditions are met, there will be no scars on the face.
Pay attention to jelly and ointments, which contain deproteinized hemoderivative of the blood of dairy calves. This substance stimulates regeneration processes and increases collagen synthesis, which contributes to the fastest and most accurate wound healing.
