 The article deals with the problem of atypical face scars after injuries and deformations. Scars of various parts of the body, especially those open, form cosmetic defects, significantly limit the mobility of the skin, cause itching and painful sensations, which significantly affects the quality of life of patients, reduces their self-esteem and leads to the development of severe psycho-emotional disorders. Minimally invasive methods of prevention and treatment of pathological scars are the most adequate in the methods of choice.

Key words: scars, deformations, keloid, hypertrophic, ultrophonophores, non-invasive methods.
