I had an accident yesterday with a heavy window landing on bridge of nose and causing gash. ER treated it with dermabond as I did not want them doing stitches. I want to prevent scarring, is there something else I can do?They just said not to get it wet for 24 hrs and it will come off in like 3-5 days, use suncreen and all cuts will have a scar. It looks to me like it will leave scar and would like to try to not have scar between my eyes, not sure if I should do something else now. Thank you.
Answer: Scar prevention Thank you for your inquiry! Scar creams can be used on scars to minimize appearance as well as silicone scar sheets. Lasers such as Microneedling can also be performed to minimize appearance as well. We would love to see you in person or virtually to discuss treatment options or schedule a consult with a licensed aesthetician.

Answer: Ideal Window Of Time For Preventing Scar Formation: Between End Of Week Four To End Of Week Twelve Back already in the late 1980s it was known that the ideal window of time for treating a wound in order to prevent or significantly minimize scarring was between the end of week four after the injury (or infection or surgery) to the end of week 12 (after which the scar is considered a "mature" scar) after which the likelihood for completely erasing the scar is significantly lower. This was in contrast to the previous recommendation to wait a year until the scar matures and then consider doing something about it. At the end of four weeks following injury, the wound is strong enough to withstand some kind of treatment and after twelve weeks the site is considered "mature" and the chances for complete erasure using any treatment modality or combination of treatments is significantly less.

Answer: Treatment of Nasal scars with an expert It looks like the scar was not sutured, so you may still have a gap in the normal skin. Despite this, you can optimize the scar by fractional laser, application of Plato's Scar Serum in the healing phase until scar equilibrium is reached. Vbeam is another great option in the early phase of healing.
