Scar formation is a critical concern in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery. This book addresses scar types, wound healing mechanisms, and evidence-based treatments for scar reduction and remodeling. It explores topical agents, intralesional therapies, laser treatments, surgical revision, and microneedling. Special attention is given to keloids, hypertrophic scars, and post-acne or traumatic scars. Strategies for prevention and long-term care are also detailed. Clinical pathways, product comparisons, and illustrative case studies support comprehensive scar management in aesthetic practice.
