A scar is an area of fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury. Scars result from the biological process of wound repair in the skin, as well as in other organs and tissues of the body. Thus, scarring is a natural part of the healing process, however if scar tissue is recent it may mean that the treatment is restricted or may have to be adapted in that area.
