Atrophic Depressed Scars

Scars vary in appearance and can be caused by accidents, burns, surgeries, acne, or illnesses. Scars develop as a natural part of the body’s healing journey. When the skin is injured, the body creates tissue to mend the damage and fill in gaps. Atrophic scars happen when the body does not make enough collagen while healing, which causes the loss of tissue. Acne, chickenpox or injuries involving loss of skin tissue are the usual causes of these scars.
