CAUSES OF ACNE SCARS

Our skin surface is a seamless body part. It is more like a piece of cloth. Any injury, burn, surgery or any other trauma to skin can form scar tissue; which then looks ugly.  

Picture a piece of silk. Just one minor tear can make a huge difference in the way it looks. But we are human beings. Throughout our lives we experience many things that tear and nip our skin.  

A scar is not that bad if it is small and easy to hide. Sometimes we try to treat these scars rather than just hiding them under the clothes. 

The fact however is that scar never completely fades away but there are ways to reduce its appearance and size. 

Scar formation is a natural healing process of injury. 

There are many factors that affect scar formation of skin. Major contributory factors of scars are the size and depth of incision and injury location but heredity, age, ethnicity and sex also affect the way the skin reacts.
