LOCATION	FEATURE	QUALITIES IN ATROPHIC SCARS
Epidermis	Surface shape	Varies
	Thickness	Slightly thinned or unchanged
	DEJ shape	Flattened
	Stratum corneum	As normal skin
	Adnexal structures	Often absent
	Brightness	Darker than dermis
Vasculature	Vessels	High density directed at bright patches, few within, often layered
Dermis	Texture	Irregular, patchy
	Brightness	Deep, bright patches

DEJ: dermal-epidermal junction; OCT: optical coherence tomography
