Depends upon depth: Usually scars are permanent. Superficial scars fade better -Scars go through three stages of healing 1 Stage of healing (10 days or longer) 2.Stage of hypertrophy (over healing stage - about 6 weeks) 3. Maturing stage- two months to ten months - (younger the age - longer time). Products (like - Silicone gel, Pressure applications, Vitamin-E, Cortisone) may help.See Dermatologist or Plast Surgeon
