No, scars are formed by collagen, a protein that helps in wound healing and tissue repair. Elastin is another protein in the skin that provides elasticity and flexibility to tissues.

How are scars formed?

Scars are formed during the healing process of a wound or injury. When the deep layer of skin (dermis) is damaged, the body produces collagen fibers to repair the tissue, resulting in a scar. The appearance of a scar can vary depending on factors such as the size and depth of the wound, as well as an individual's genetics.

Can massage reduce an old scar on lips?

Well no massage doesn't do anything for the formed scar tissue other than add a little more circulation to the area. Scar tissue will diminish over time as the body sluffs the damaged tissue. There is no "quick fix" for this tissue, that's why dealing with aftercare related issues as quickly as possible is so important. Bumps and lumps left untreated will form scar tissue and there is no cheap or quick fix for this once it's formed.
