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.
