When skin becomes wounded, and tissue gets damaged, the body releases a protein called collagen, which works to reinforce and repair the wound. Collagen will continue to build up for months after the injury, and this can cause the scar to become more raised and pronounced.
Over time, most scars will fade, and their look will change based on what caused them, how big they are, and where they’re located, but they will never completely go away. Luckily, we offer several different treatment options to reduce the appearance of scars.
