What is a Scar?

A scar is a mark left on the skin after a wound or injury has healed. It forms when the deeper layers of skin (dermis) are damaged and the body produces collagen fibers to repair it. The result is often a different texture or color than the surrounding skin.

While some scars fade naturally, others may require professional treatment — especially if they’re visible, painful, itchy, or affect your self-confidence.

Common Types of Scars We Treat

1. Acne Scars

Caused by severe acne, especially cystic acne. May be:

• Ice pick scars (deep and narrow)

• Rolling scars (wave-like depressions)

• Boxcar scars (broad, with sharp edges)

2. Surgical or Traumatic Scars

Scars from surgeries, accidents, or injuries. May be flat, raised, or sunken.

3. Keloid Scars

Thick, raised, and larger than the original wound. Often itchy and dark.

4. Hypertrophic Scars

Similar to keloids but stay within the boundary of the wound. May fade over time.

5. Stretch Marks

Technically a type of scar caused by skin stretching due to weight gain, pregnancy, or growth spurts.
