For those embracing an active lifestyle, be it running, padel, tennis, or weekend mini soccer, minor injuries like scrapes and bruises are part of the game. While these wounds heal, they can sometimes leave behind scars that affect both appearance and comfort.
Understanding Athletic Scars

Athletic activities often lead to scars from friction, impacts, or falls. Whether it’s a scraped knee from trail running or a padel court tumble, the body’s natural healing process can result in visible marks if not properly managed. Disruptions during healing, such as inadequate care, can exacerbate scarring (Ludmann et al., 2025).
