    involves methods to improve scar appearance and skin function

    Scar treatment, also known as scar therapy or scar management, involves various methods to improve the appearance of scars and restore skin function. These methods can include topical applications like silicone gels, medical procedures such as laser therapy, microneedling, or surgical revision, and sometimes involve corticosteroid injections to reduce inflammation and flatten raised scars. The goal is to make the scar less noticeable and improve the skin's texture and color.
