WHAT ARE SCARS
Scars form as part of the body’s natural healing response when the skin repairs itself after injury, surgery, or inflammation. Depending on how the wound heals, scars can appear raised, indented, or discoloured. While all scars are a normal part of tissue recovery, their texture and tone can sometimes remain visible long after healing is complete.
The appearance of a scar depends on several factors — including the depth of injury, skin type, genetics, and how the skin produces collagen during repair. Some scars may fade over time, while others benefit from targeted treatments that remodel the tissue and encourage smoother, more even skin renewal.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Why do some scars heal differently than others?
Each person’s skin heals in its own way. The amount of collagen produced during healing determines how a scar forms — too little can cause a depressed or indented scar, while too much can create raised, thickened tissue. Factors like genetics, skin tone, and wound care all play a role in how noticeable a scar becomes.
2. Can scars be improved or reduced?
Yes. While scars can’t always be completely removed, their appearance can be significantly improved. Treatments that stimulate collagen remodeling and resurface the skin help blend the scar with the surrounding tissue, softening edges and reducing colour and texture differences.
3. How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on the scar’s size, type, and depth. Many patients see improvement after just one session, but optimal results are usually achieved through a personalized series spaced several weeks apart. Improvements continue as collagen production increases in the months following treatment.
