Can the scar after cesarean section be removed after 1.5 years?

Patient's question:

I am 27 years old this year. Last New Year's Day, I gave birth to my first child. Due to high blood sugar, the doctor said I couldn't exceed the due date, so I had a cesarean section later. There is a long scar on my abdomen, and it still itches occasionally now. Can you explain to me some reliable methods for scar removal?

Doctor's answer:

If blood sugar levels rise again during pregnancy, it may indicate a recurrence of gestational diabetes. Generally, this type of diabetes tends to gradually improve after childbirth. However, a small number of pregnant women may experience a recurrence of diabetes, requiring lifelong use of hypoglycemic medications.
After undergoing surgical treatment for a repeat cesarean section, scarring may remain. Once significant scarring occurs, solutions such as isolated anesthesia or laser therapy can be implemented to enhance scar fading.
