Science of Scars: Why some Wounds heal flawlessly while others don't

You probably have a scar, or you know someone who does. In some situations, a wound heals and fades without leaving any visible trace; however, in other instances, a scar eventually forms and remains. This occurs because The Science of Scars investigates why certain wounds heal more effectively than others, demonstrating that the body repairs damage through different mechanisms. Furthermore, some scars result in more than just physical discomfort. Indeed, they may also affect emotional well-being, since they can cause feelings of self-consciousness or anxiety, particularly when they appear on the face.
