SCARRING

Overview

Scarring is a natural part of the skin’s healing process, occurring when the deeper layers of the skin are damaged through injury, surgery, acne, or inflammation and the body works to repair itself by producing new collagen fibres. Unlike the organized collagen structure found in healthy skin, scar tissue is made up of collagen that is laid down quickly and irregularly, resulting in a change in texture, tone, and appearance at the site of the wound. Scars can present in many different forms depending on the nature of the injury and the individual’s skin type and healing response.

While scars cannot be completely erased, significant improvements in their appearance are achievable with the right approach. At The Golden Hive, our treatments are designed to stimulate the skin’s natural collagen remodelling process, resurface the skin’s texture, and improve tone and pigmentation — helping to reduce the visibility of scars and restore a smoother, more even complexion.

What Causes Scarring?

Inflammatory acne that penetrates deep into the skin can damage the surrounding tissue and disrupt collagen production during healing, resulting in atrophic scars such as ice pick, boxcar, and rolling scars, as well as post-inflammatory pigmentation.

FAQs About Scarring

Scarring occurs when the skin’s healing process produces new collagen to repair damage caused by injury, inflammation, acne, or surgery, resulting in tissue that differs in texture, tone, and structure from the surrounding skin.
