Do scars disappear over time?
Scarring is part of our body’s natural healing process after the tissue has been damaged.
When we suffer from a wound, the tissues break and collagen builds up in the area to help heal and strengthen the wound.
After some time, the collagen breaks down and the blood supply reduces, meaning the scar gradually becomes smoother and softer.
Scars can fade over a period of up to 2 years, but it’s unlikely they’ll fade any more after this time and they won’t disappear completely.
How do I get rid of acne scars?
Acne scars are usually permanent unless you opt for cosmetic surgery to remove them.Â
These types of procedures are usually only available on the NHS if the scarring is causing serious psychological distress.Â
Treatments for acne scars include dermabrasion (removing the top layer of skin), laser treatment or surgical removal.
How do you fade scars fast?
While scars don’t disappear completely, you can speed up the healing and fading process.
Surgery can be an option to make non-raised scars less noticeable, along with dermabrasion, micro-needling and laser resurfacing.
There is also a range of silicone gels and patches available to help reduce the appearance of your scars.
What causes scars?
Scars are marks left behind on your skin after it’s healed from damage, such as a wound or injury.
They’re perfectly normal and natural, but some people find that they dislike the appearance of their scars, which can look like a fine line, an overgrowth of tissue, or a sunken hole in the skin.
Scars will usually fade by themselves over time, but some people choose to use treatments to make scars less visible, like Bio-Oil.
