Scarring is often caused by a past injury, trauma or surgical procedure. Scar tissue can build up to create a textured and discoloured site on the skin which is more often unwanted. You can experience acne scarring, stretch marks or scars from healing from broken skin.
Scars can appear anywhere on the body that has experienced skin breaking. They may look red, pink or purple and have a raised texture.
The healing process forms scars after trauma to the skin. The skin may be broken due to an accident or injury, or surgical intervention. When the skin is injured, fibrous scar tissue builds up to protect and repair the damaged skin.
Depending on the scar, its appearance can be reduced at Bodyvie with laser technology or injections to restore skin texture.
