What are Surgical Scars?
Surgical scars can often present themselves as raised or depressed areas with or without associated erythema (red or purple color). Both traumatic and surgical scars can be treated to reduce their appearance, although Keloid scaring may not be able to be treated successfully.
Causes of Surgical Scars
Surgical scars form as a natural part of the healing process following surgery or traumatic injuries. These scars result from the body’s attempt to repair damaged skin and tissue, which can lead to visible marks of varying shapes, sizes, and textures. The appearance of surgical scars depends on factors such as the type of procedure, the location of the incision, and the body’s healing response. Additionally, age, skin type, and the amount of discoloration associated with the scar also influence its visibility. For those looking to minimize the appearance of scars, professional surgical scar treatment offers effective solutions tailored to individual needs, helping restore confidence in your skin.
