Why don't scars disappear?

Sobre este episodio

When our skin is cut or damaged, the body immediately starts its healing process to close the wound and limit any risk of infection. It’s a wonderful and fascinating process, but nevertheless scars still remain on the skin afterwards. They can be unsightly and visible too, depending on their location, leading to self-consciousness. There are several stages, with the first being hemostasis. Immediately after we get a cut, blood platelets come together to form a blood clot, in order to stop the bleeding. Our blood vessels also contract, to limit blood loss. How does the healing process work? Will the scar be fully gone by that point then? Is there anything we can do to make the skin heal better? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
