Candidates for Facial Scar Treatment

1. Accident and trauma cause scarring. Even a common wound stitched in childhood can remain prominent for decades if not treated.
2. Plastic surgeons attempt to hide scars at the hairline and behind ears. But any wound leaves a scar and rude people make a sport of noticing plastic surgery remnants.
3. Earlobe and cheek scarring results from piercing. Both are risk areas for keloid and hypertrophic scarring, which is extremely disfiguring.
4. Burns scars. From the accidental cigarette burn to a kitchen fire or traumatic accident, burns cause deep damage and heaped-up tissue.

Because facial scars are already noticeable, some prefer to avoid a medical therapy which would make things look worse, even if only temporarily. Over-the-counter scar products can be invisible while at work.
