SCARS AND STITCHES

On top of the millions of surgical procedures performed each year for medical reasons, we are seeing a sharp rise in both aesthetic procedures and surgery. In fact, 21% of the dermatologist’s work now consists of aesthetic procedures and there are 11 million cosmetic surgeries each year. For all of these reasons, healing and scars are a growing concern as no one wants an unattractive scar that will remind them of the procedure they went through, or act as a “giveaway” in the case of cosmetic surgery. Not to speak about all the surgical procedures one might undergo and that can lead to lifetime marks.
