scar formation

Scar formation is the natural process your body uses to repair skin after an injury. When skin is cut or damaged, your body produces new cells and fibers to close the wound. This process involves the creation of collagen, a protein that provides structure and strength to the new tissue. As healing progresses, these fibers may be arranged differently than the original skin, resulting in a scar. Over time, scars can become less noticeable, but they are a permanent part of the healing process, representing the body’s way of sealing and strengthening damaged skin.
