Dermatologist Shares Essential Tips for Scar Treatment

In a recent video, Dr. Daniel Sugai, a Harvard-trained dermatologist, offered practical advice on how to treat facial scars. He emphasized the importance of keeping wounds moist with petrolatum-based ointments like Vaseline or Aquaphor to prevent scabbing and promote healing. "One of the worst things you can do is dry out your cut," Dr. Sugai said, explaining that scabs inhibit cell regeneration. After the wound heals, he recommends using La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Balm B5 and sunscreen daily to minimize hyperpigmentation. His advice is especially relevant as we enter sunnier seasons. Dr. Sugai's expertise makes his recommendations trustworthy, offering valuable insights for anyone dealing with minor facial injuries.
