When skin is injured, by a breakout, a procedure, or rapid stretching, the body prioritizes speed over craftsmanship. It patches the area with collagen laid down quickly and roughly, which is why scars sit differently than the skin around them: pitted or raised, tight or shiny, lighter or darker. Acne scars, surgical scars, and stretch marks are all versions of the same story.
The encouraging part: scar tissue is living tissue, and it remodels. Treatments that trigger fresh, organized collagen, microneedling chief among them, teach the area to rebuild properly, pass by pass. Older scars take more sessions than newer ones, but age alone doesn't make a scar permanent. We map yours, set honest expectations, and build the series around them.
