What Is a Scar?
Scarring is your body's way to heal after an accident or surgery — while doctors try to minimize the impact on your appearance right away, that isn't always possible.
Many scars fade and become less noticeable. Others are small or easily concealed. But some don't go away, with a continued loss of self-esteem and a feeling of self-consciousness — or even restricted mobility. We can provide relief.
Scar symptoms
Scarring can cause several side effects:
- Severe itching
- Tenderness or pain
- Disturbed sleep
- Anxiety or depression
- Interference with daily life
- Infection (redness, itchiness or raised surface)
A scar's characteristics are determined by:
- Wound depth and size
- Location
- Your age, gender and ethnicity
- Your particular genes
