What is a scar?
A scar is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury.
What causes a scar?
Scarring is part of the body’s natural healing process after tissue is damaged. When the skin is wounded the tissue breaks, which causes a protein called collagen to be released. Collagen builds up where tissue is damaged, helping to heal and strengthen the wound.
How do you treat scarring?
Our non-surgical treatments for scarring work by encouraging new collagen production within the skin to help heal and improve the scar texture and tone.
