MR BRYAN MAYOU, FOUNDERScars are unique to the individual and circumstance in which they are formed – they are the body’s natural way of healing from an injury, and are unfortunately unavoidable. The way they develop is also unpredictable. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that affects your appearance. Scars may be raised or recessed, different in color or texture from surrounding healthy tissue or particularly noticeable due to their size, shape or location.
Some people produce better scars than others, for example ‘poor scars’ such as hypertrophic or keloid scars stay visible and cause skin irritation for a number of months. When these ‘visible’ scars fade they tend to whiten and remain equally visible – unlike a ‘good scar’ which blends in well with the surrounding tissue.
