About Scarring

5 million people in the UK live with a life-changing scar, and all the physical and emotional problems that come with them.

Scars are more than skin-deep. Scars can have profound emotional impact, and inside our bodies, scarring in the heart, lungs, and kidneys is an invisible killer.
