    Glossary Scarless Healing

    process where tissue repairs without forming scar tissue

    Scarless healing, also known as regenerative healing, refers to the process by which the body repairs damaged tissues without forming scar tissue. This type of healing restores the tissue to its original structure and function, unlike typical wound healing that often results in fibrous scar tissue. Scarless healing is observed in certain animals and in human fetal development, and it is a significant area of research for improving wound care and regenerative medicine.
