Understanding What Causes Scars and How to Treat Them
Every scar is unique and complex. Since no two scars are alike, there are many factors to consider when deciding the best course of action and treatment plan for scars. These factors include type of scar, what caused the scar, the scar’s location, your age and health, and how long you have had the scar. Scars develop as a natural part of the body’s healing process as a result of damage to the dermis, which is the deep, thick layer of skin. They can develop following accidents, skin conditions, surgeries, or other health complications.

Common Trauma Scars Treated at Honu Women’s Health
Our skin acts as a protective barrier for our bodies, and as a result, it can experience traumas that lead to scarring.
- Stretch marks are narrow streaks that appear in the skin as a result of rapid growth. They can form as the skin stretches quickly as a result of pregnancy, growth spurts, weight gain, or weight loss. Stretch marks may heal over time, but some stretch marks persist and can prevent us from feeling our best.
- C-section and surgical scars can commonly develop as your skin heals following an incision. Your skin naturally produces additional collagen to heal, and when it produces excess skin tissue, it can lead to a raised appearance at the site of the incision. Alternatively, as the skin heals, the soft tissues around the wound may change characteristics and lead to dimpling or an indentation around the incision site.
