SCAR FREE SCIENCE

The secrets of scars lie in our genes. To make our mission of scar free healing a reality, we need to understand the mechanisms that drive scarring.

Our ground-breaking research over the last 24 years has greatly improved our understanding of the biological processes associated with wound healing and scarring. But there is still so much more to learn, and we are committed to uncovering the science behind scars.
