Scars are a natural part of the body's healing process. A scar results from the biological process of wound repair in the skin and other tissues. Most wounds, except for very minor ones, result in some degree of scarring, which is a natural and common by-product when our body heals itself from injuries, diseases, or skin conditions. Scars develop when the deeper and thicker layer of the skin, known as the dermis, becomes damaged.
