SCAR-LAB · INNOSCAR

Our research facility

A large number of non-invasive measuring instruments are permanently available at our research facility. We can measure various scar parameters both objectively and subjectively.

Our research facility works with partner organisations such as the University of Antwerp to carry out scientifically driven, pioneering research.

Patients contribute

Patients at Oscare are regularly asked to have their scars assessed using various measurement techniques. In this way, they contribute to scientific research aimed at ensuring even better scar treatment in the future.
