The body has amazing healing properties, one of which is that the skin can heal itself after it has received trauma or damage. Scars are a natural response to injury, and they are necessary for protecting the skin against infection. Some scars are seen as “battle wounds” from falling off a bike, surgery, or receiving an injury during a sporting event. However, there are other scars that are more serious and can have devastating effects on those affected. Scars that occur on the face often leave people embarrassed or self-conscious about their appearance.
