HENNA- Can the scars be hennaed?

Many people intend on hiding their scars or wounds by drawing out tattoos or a variety of designs on them. According to the skins natural phenomena, whenever any wound is created on the skin, the scar tissue is made at that site of the injury which differs in its structure with respect to other normal skin cells. These scar tissues also take up the Henna stains quite well just like the normal skin surface but the darkness and permanence of these stains depends entirely on how well the wound has been healed over the period of time. If the wound has thoroughly healed, the stain on the skin would be fairly even though it also varies with the type of injuries, and, but if the tissue poorly establishes and is rather fresh or new; there might be little or no Henna stain at all as compared to the surrounding skin. Reasons have been well established to explain this natural phenomenon by different professional artists in association with specialists in skin. The dye molecules in the Henna saturate and colour the dead cells in the Stratum Corneum layer to produce a stain when the paste has been removed. As these cells exfoliate and peel off, according to the common observation, the stains start fading and slowly disappear. According to the reports, the exfoliation rates of the scar tissues tend to be different from the surrounding skin. Due to these distinctions, the Henna stains unevenly over the surfaces. This, instead of covering the wound, produces an unsightly and irregular tattoo design. Until and unless the blood flow and the cells regeneration are well-established, the henna designs may fade or disappear quickly than the surrounding skin. Even after several years of healing, the experiments show that the exfoliation rates are still disturbed. However, there is no direct evidence as to use of Henna for covering the scars and wounds is either harmful or beneficial.
