Essential oils may help reduce the appearance of scars. They work by regenerating the skin cells of damaged skin. There are also other oils that can improve the appearance of scars and improve skin health.

Essential oils support skin health by:

balancing skin tone
reducing redness
reducing inflammation
Some oils also have wound-healing properties, which may help prevent scar tissue from forming. You can experiment to see which oils — or combination of oils — bring you the best results and if used correctly presents little risk.
