You have scars?
Let's goA good look matters to all of us and has a great influence on our well-being. Our skin is the reflection of our physical and mental health. But life leaves its marks, sometimes in form of scars.
Which doesn’t mean that you have to accept a disturbing scar!
With this short test, you’ll find out how you can treat your scar effectively and achieve a more unobtrusive skin appearance.
1. What caused your scar?
Smooth skin cuts, e.g. from surgeries, generally heal without trouble. What remains is a slim scar. Wounds with greater loss of tissue or infections of the scar tissue can result in unaesthetic scarring (expansive and irregular).

- Accident
- Acne
- Burn
- Other injury
- Pregnancy / Sports (stretch marks)

Fresh scars are inherently very red. Over time, they turn paler and ideally “only” remain as white lines.
Reddish scar- red
- rosy
- skin-colored
6. Do your parents have similar scars?
If your parents and grandparents have distinct scars, you might have a higher risk of developing conspicuous scars.
