Scars & acne scars are a common problem for many patients as they frequently develop after trauma to the skin. Scarring is part of the natural healing process of your skin. As the body repairs the wound, fibrotic tissue replaces the injured skin, forming a protective tissue. The type of tissue scar that develops depends on the cause of injury, the depth of the wound, its location, and other variables.

Part of the population suffers post-surgery scarring, which is relatively hard to treat. An example is a post-C-section scar on a women’s lower abdomen. Much more common, and most displeasing are acne scars. These are sometimes very visible on people’s faces and force them to wear make-up in public.
