How Does a Scar Form?

At some time or another, many if not most of us will succumb to an impactful injury. When a deeper layer of skin is wounded, your body will create additional collagen fibers–the main structural protein found in the skin– to heal you. While our body has the tools it needs to repair the wound as best it can, it may leave scar tissue in place of the wound. Scar tissue usually looks different in comparison to nearby skin and it’s possible it may feel different, as well. If the appearance of a scar is bothering you, consult with our staff to explore which of our treatment options may be right for you!

Here are Some Different Types of Scarring:

• Hypertrophic scars look raised from the skin’s surface. This kind of scarring is usually a result of the body producing more collagen than what was needed to heal the wound.
• Sunken scarring occurs when the body heals wounds that have destroyed structural support like muscle or fat.
• Stretched scarring occurs when the skin is drastically expanded. Pregnancy and growth spurts are common causes of this form of scarring.
