scar healing
Tissue repair process
Scar healing is the process by which damaged tissue repairs itself, leaving a mark where injury occurred.
The term covers both the biological progression—inflammation, tissue formation, remodeling—and treatments aimed at minimizing visible scarring: The dermatologist recommended silicone sheets to improve scar healing.
Complete scar healing can take months or years.
