Recently, a friend asked me, “Doctor, I’ve had a lot of pain, but I think it’s getting bigger. Did the treatment fail?” Don’t worry, it’s a very common phenomenon. It doesn’t mean there’s a problem with the treatment. Let’s talk about why! The Oxygen 90 treatment principle is a radioisotope that can be exposed to the scar tissue on a shallow basis through beta-rays, thus inhibiting the growth of abnormal fibre tissues and helping to level and thin the scars. It is particularly appropriate for the treatment of amplified scars and scars. Why is the range bigger? This is due to the fact that the scars are essentially an increase in a pathological fibre tissue, which is inhibited and destroyed during radiotherapy. As the boundaries of the growing tissues and the normal surrounding tissues are not clear, and as scars soften and fibre tissues are reshaped, areas that were originally compressed by accumulated fibre tissues may appear to be visible and appear to be larger. Simply put, this is the process of changing the scar from a “mountain” to a “ level” because the range of the “mountain” had been masked by a high-profile section, and the post-treatment range was not the creation of a new scar. Need to worry? No need! This is a normal phenomenon in the course of treatment. As treatment deepens and skin self-rehabilitation, larger areas tend to be further thinner and softer, and gradually close to normal colour and texture. 1. Periodic follow-up: periodic review, as recommended by the doctor, of scars recovery. 2. Co-operation in care: use of physical treatments such as silica gels and scalding, as recommended by the doctor, to promote the smoothing and softening of scars. 3. Psychological regulation: There is no need to be anxious by a change in vision, and treatment is a gradual process. Avoiding misperceptions, some patients are concerned about the side effects of treatment when they see a wider range, but not at all. The thorium 90 treatment, which has been clinically proven for many years, is a safe and effective scar treatment, with very low side effects, and the key is to select the appropriate dose of treatment and course of treatment based on medical advice. Scars and bruises, which have been treated with thorium 90, have increased in scale, but only as a result of the remodelling of fibre tissues, not as a result of treatment failure or increased condition. Patience and follow-up by the doctor will bring the skin closer and closer to normal. Do you have a similar scar? Or are there any other questions about the Oxygen 90 treatment?
