How do scars form?

Scars are the result of the skin's natural healing process following injuries, cuts, burns, or inflammation. They can occur at any age and vary in appearance depending on the severity of the injury and individual skin characteristics.

Main causes of scar formation

Injuries and Cuts: Any injury that goes deeper than the top layer of skin can leave scars. This includes surgical procedures, accidents, and cuts.

Burns: Burns, especially severe second-degree and third-degree burns, affect deeper skin layers and often leave noticeable scars. Burns can also cause contractures, which tighten the skin and restrict movement.

Acne: Severe acne can affect deeper skin layers and leave scars, especially if pimples or cysts are improperly treated or squeezed.

Inflammations: Skin inflammations, such as those seen in conditions like eczema or psoriasis, can alter skin structure and cause scarring.

Surgical Procedures: Surgeries often leave scars, with size and visibility depending on the type of procedure and individual healing ability.

Tattoos and Piercings: These procedures can leave scars, particularly if not performed correctly or if complications arise.

Factors that influence scar formation

Genetic Predisposition: Some people are more prone to significant scarring due to genetic factors. This can include the formation of hypertrophic scars or keloids, which extend beyond the original wound area.

Age: Younger skin tends to heal faster and more robustly, which can lead to more noticeable scarring. Older skin heals more slowly and often forms less prominent scars.

Location of the Wound: Scars on areas with high skin tension or frequent movement (e.g., knees, elbows) can be wider and more noticeable. Areas with better blood flow, such as the face, often heal faster and with less visible scarring.

Wound Care: Proper wound care, including clean bandages and infection prevention, can minimize scarring. Using scar creams and gels can support healing and improve the appearance of scars.

Treating scars – How is it done?

There are various approaches to improving the appearance of scars and promoting skin regeneration:

Regenerating Products: Using specialized skincare products is crucial for treating scars and improving skin appearance. Effective ingredients include:

Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Promote cell renewal and improve skin texture, reducing the appearance of scars.
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that stimulates collagen production and brightens the skin, making scars less visible.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Improves skin elasticity, reduces inflammation, and supports skin regeneration.
Peptides: Support skin structure and promote collagen formation, making the skin firmer and smoother.
Aloe Vera: Provides moisture and has anti-inflammatory and healing properties that soothe the skin and support scar healing.

Effective Cleansing: Thoroughly cleansing the skin is important to remove impurities and prepare the skin for applying regenerating products. Use a combination of cleansing foam and facial toner.

Moisturizing: Regularly applying moisturizing creams helps strengthen the skin barrier and keep the skin hydrated, which can improve healing and the appearance of scars.

Sun Protection: Daily sun protection with a high SPF is essential to prevent further skin damage and support scar healing.

By regularly applying these measures, you can effectively improve the appearance of scars and achieve smoother, more radiant skin.
