Scar Treatments

A scar forms as part of the natural biological process of wound healing. Scars can also form as a result of surgery, acne, trauma, burns, cuts, piercings, stretch marks (striae), chicken pox, and more. When there is a serious cut or tear of the skin, forming scar tissue is how the body heals it. If you are fortunate, the tear is not that severe and the scar may be almost invisible. However, in many cases, a scar can be very obvious, and may be noticeably red or brown, sunken or raised, or otherwise disfiguring. Scars can cause physical symptoms (e.g., itching, pain) and psychological symptoms which can affect patients’ self-esteem and self-confidence. In these cases, effective scar revision treatments may be necessary.
