About Scar Removal

Any burns, surgeries, or injury to the skin can result in a scar. Scar formation is the skin’s natural healing process. There are various factors to how your skin will scar. The depth and size of the wound, the location of where the wound is, and your age and ethnicity all play a role in how you will heal. Sometimes scars can thicken beyond what the original scar was and form a keloid. Keloids can be very itchy, painful and have a burning sensation. They are common in individuals with ethnic skin, most common in African Americans.
