Vancouver Scar Scale

A scar is the body's natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin. It typically comprises fibrous tissue that replaces normal skin after an injury.

Scar assessment involves evaluating the characteristics of a scar to understand its severity and impact. This can help in deciding the appropriate treatment strategies.

The Vancouver rating scale is a method used to evaluate the severity of scars based on several criteria, including vascularity, pliability, height, and pigmentation.
