How to improve skin scarring

Written by National Skin Cancer Centres | Nov 3, 2022 4:00:00 AM

Scarring can impact your confidence and self-esteem as it is a permanent side-effect of past conditions or trauma to the skin. Smoothing your complexion and erasing prominent scars can have a marked effect on your appearance as well as your self-confidence.

Scarring can be caused by recurrent cystic acne, stretch marks, burns, old cuts, and other injuries - including excisions from skin cancer surgery.
