Get rid of a scar? Think scar improvement

I agree with the other docs here. Your goal should be improvement. It is unrealistic to expect something to disappear completely, especially if it is a scar! Hope this helps you!

Chest scar

It is impossible to get rid of a long standing scar.  Sometimes the scar can be softened, flattened, made smaller, thinner with various technqiues.  But overall, a scar is a permanent thing.
