What is the characteristic of a scar from primary intention healing?

A scar from primary intention healing is characterized by a flat, fine line. This type of healing occurs when the edges of a wound are brought together, often through suturing or adhesive strips, allowing for a smoother healing process. The epidermis and dermis are approximated closely, leading to minimal tissue loss and a less noticeable scar when compared to other types of healing.

In primary intention healing, the process is efficient, and inflammation will typically be less severe, resulting in a scar that is more aesthetically pleasing. This contrasts with scars from secondary intention healing, which can involve more granulation tissue formation and leave more irregular or prominent scars.
