Scar tissue forms when wounds heal, and some scars are unattractive or extremely noticeable. Some create thick tissue clusters at the site of a wound. Keloid scars are scars that are bigger than the initial incision and can be itchy or uncomfortable. Contracture scars might potentially limit mobility.

Scar revision aims to reduce the look and impact of scars, and the kind of scar will determine the method of therapy.

A surgical operation, a less invasive therapy, or even a simple topical treatment may be used. None of these, however, can fully remove a scar.
