Scars form whenever multiple skin layers have been injured or affected by trauma or injury such as burns, lacerations and deep cuts.
Scars are permanent, although their appearance may be reduced through various cosmetic procedures.
Scars are not only a physical detriment to many, but can affect the function of the mouth, eyes, and nose as well as movement in the extremities.
While most people don't worry too much about mild to moderate scars in most body locations unless they're extensive and affect mobility, facial scars carry with them a stigma that severely hampers self-esteem and confidence in many.
Various treatments are available to help reduce the appearance of scars. Different treatments and procedures are offered for different types of scars.
