Brain Surgery Scar Care | Biodermis.com

August 06, 2021Tyler Szelinski

Brain surgery, otherwise known as craniotomy, is a surgical procedure in which a piece of skull is removed to give the surgeon access to the brain. This surgery is done as an intervention to remove brain tumors, abnormal tissue, or blood clots in the brain. It can also be used to relieve pressure in the brain after head trauma or stroke, or to treat a variety of other brain conditions. A craniotomy isn’t the only type of brain surgery that can be performed. Other common types include a biopsy, where brain cells or a small portion of tissue is removed, deep brain stimulation (DBS), where a small medical device is implanted in the brain, and a neuroendoscopy, where a small light and camera is used to access the brain and remove tissue. With modern advances in medicine, not all brain surgeries will require an incision; but for the ones that do, there is a risk of scarring. Luckily, many scar care options are available to patients online or through your physician.

Why Using Lube for Your Scar is a Bad Idea | Biodermis.com

March 24, 2021Tyler Szelinski

When searching online for effective scar treatment products, it’s tempting to go with the cheapest product available. But cheapest isn’t always the best when it comes to proper wound care—quality is what you should be after. Lubricating jelly is one such product that can be found online for a cheap price, but does it really do anything for your scar? There is currently no reliable research that indicates lube to be an effective treatment option for scar therapy. On the other hand, medical-grade silicone for scar management is backed by over 30 years of clinical evidence. When it comes to your skin, it’s important to do research or ask your physician for the best options available.

Why Do Some Parts of the Body Scar More Than Others? | Biodermis.com

March 23, 2021Tyler Szelinski

Scarring is a natural and healthy biologic response that occurs when a person sustains a deep wound on the surface of the skin. Injuries from burns, punctures, and scrapes can leave uneven scars that are cosmetically unappealing. Scars also develop in reaction to invasive cosmetic or orthopedic surgical procedures, some of which can become quite large. Some people who have attained multiple scars throughout their life might wonder why some scars became larger and thicker than others. Scar location on the body, among other factors, influences how a scar develops. Luckily, with proper wound care and the use of silicone gel products, you can help minimize how drastically your wound becomes a scar.

How to Treat Coral Cut Scars | Biodermis.com

March 23, 2021Tyler Szelinski

With summer fast approaching and people planning their family trips to the beach, it’s important to prepare for any accidents that may happen along the way. One of the most common ocean injuries that occur during swimming, surfing, or scuba diving are cuts from coral reefs. Coral cuts can be particularly dangerous because they have a high risk of becoming infected due to pieces of the coral’s exoskeleton getting stuck in the wound. A coral cut should be treated immediately by first being cleaned out and then covered with a bandage or gauze. If the wound gets infected, antibiotics may be needed to assist in recovery. In some cases, coral cuts can lead to scarring. Luckily, with proper wound care and the right scar management products, you can significantly reduce the scarring that results from coral cuts.
