In medical terms, they mark the end of a natural healing process after a skin injury, be it through a cut, a burn or an operation. When our skin is injured, our body produces a protein called collagen a few days after the injury, which fills and seals the wound. In the weeks that follow, a firm, flat scar forms. However, if the body produces too much collagen as a result of impaired wound healing, a raised and bulging scar is formed. And if only the top layer of skin is damaged, as with a minor scratch, it usually heals without visible scarring.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av-layout-grid-1'  class='av-layout-grid-container av-20w8i-6683d2926560af71e8dc8241988dd403 entry-content-wrapper alternate_color av-flex-cells  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  raufm grid-row-not-first  container_wrap sidebar_right'  >\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88\">\n.flex_cell.av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88{\nvertical-align:middle;\nbackground-color:#5e1216;\n}\n.responsive #top #wrap_all .flex_cell.av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88{\npadding:6vw 18.6vw 36px 10.42vw !important;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div class='flex_cell av-15jau-59853d7a32beb3e207a5a9aaed43fb88 av-gridrow-cell av_one_full no_margin  avia-builder-el-13  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  text-2-3 content-align-middle'  ><div class='flex_cell_inner'><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-3tvdmk-e16f4a5b0a9f7753c084bfffb19d1620\">\n.flex_column.av-3tvdmk-e16f4a5b0a9f7753c084bfffb19d1620{\npadding:36px 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-3tvdmk-e16f4a5b0a9f7753c084bfffb19d1620 av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-14  el_before_av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-first  autorbox first flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcluwv84-231e1e144c782442abb387d490c030dc\">\n.av_font_icon.av-lcluwv84-231e1e144c782442abb387d490c030dc .av-icon-char{\nfont-size:100px;\nline-height:100px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<span  class='av_font_icon av-lcluwv84-231e1e144c782442abb387d490c030dc avia_animate_when_visible av-icon-style- avia-icon-pos-center avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello av-no-color avia-icon-animate'><span class='av-icon-char' data-av_icon='\ue81d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' aria-hidden=\"true\" ><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2wttjw-c4f2a674d099d9ce38de99ef89278acf\">\n.flex_column.av-2wttjw-c4f2a674d099d9ce38de99ef89278acf{\npadding:15px 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2wttjw-c4f2a674d099d9ce38de99ef89278acf av_four_fifth  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_one_fifth  avia-builder-el-last  autorbox flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lcl0ai39-12d9a7dbca9b858b54349b2c248bfd96\">\n#top .av-special-heading.av-lcl0ai39-12d9a7dbca9b858b54349b2c248bfd96{\npadding-bottom:10px;\n}\nbody .av-special-heading.av-lcl0ai39-12d9a7dbca9b858b54349b2c248bfd96 .av-special-heading-tag .heading-char{\nfont-size:25px;\n}\n.av-special-heading.av-lcl0ai39-12d9a7dbca9b858b54349b2c248bfd96 .av-subheading{\nfont-size:15px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='av-special-heading av-lcl0ai39-12d9a7dbca9b858b54349b2c248bfd96 av-special-heading-h2 blockquote modern-quote  avia-builder-el-17  el_before_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-first '><h2 class='av-special-heading-tag '  itemprop=\"headline\"  >How do scars develop?<\/h2><div class=\"special-heading-border\"><div class=\"special-heading-inner-border\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lcl0a875-43ca52a6ad8a5e8d51fc7b61fd90f9e7 '  ><div class='avia_textblock einruck halfwidth1 av_inherit_color'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Scars are witnesses to our body&#8217;s natural healing process. As soon as the skin is injured, the body takes action to repair the damage. But what exactly happens?<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Inflammatory or cleansing phase:<\/strong> Immediately after the injury, the body sends blood platelets to the site of the injury to stop the bleeding. White blood cells are also sent to fight infections. This phase lasts about 4 days.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Repair phase:<\/strong> A few days after the injury, the body begins to produce collagen. This binds the edges of the wound and helps to replace and strengthen the injured tissue.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Maturation or reconstruction phase:<\/strong> After the wound is closed, the healing process often takes several months to years. During this phase, the skin begins to regenerate with new cells from the edges of the wound. The initially soft reddish scar tissue becomes firmer, lighter and more robust.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Depending on the depth, size, location of the wound, genetic factors and the type of injury, the appearance of the resulting scar can vary.
