What is a scar?

A scar is a natural part of the healing process. A scar is the normal response of the organism to a skin wound, which is covered and filled by fibrous tissue.Since tissue restoration process provides a new tissue, this is not identical to the tissue that it replaces.

Conditions of the scar depend more on the location on the body than the reconstruction technique. Although every surgeon´s goal is to achieve a scar as less visible as possible, sometimes a thick and irregular scar may form. These scars usually can be improved with the appropriate chemical peeling.
