Why is 100% improvement not possible?

I was thinking about all the treatments out there and all the results people have gotten. We all tend to agree with scar revision that 100% is not very likely. But why? If you can get 10, 20, 30, 40, 50% improvement why not 100%? is it cause people stop treatments when they get satisfied and don't feel like spending any more money. Or is it our body just maxes out at a certain point and stops building collagen. I relate this to lifting weights, your muscles will continue to grow as long as they are STIMULATED in different ways. With scars I feel like the scars can continue to fill in as long as the treatments continue to change up and produce different stimulation. I have hopes that in the next 3-4 years through chemical peels, tca cross, lasers, microneedling, RF, filler etc I can achieve 100% improvement.

Because to say you wont get 100% percent is realistic,it helps with expectations,hey if you get 100% brill but if you dont at least you got improvement,makes more sense.

not everyones skin is same or state of imperfections and diet and healing type,lifestyle,so expect improvement but 100% not realy but if you do then great!

Like Quads advice. To add to that, these are scars here, not tiny imperfections. Scarring changes the skin permanently. What do you think happens when someone gets a facelift, they make more scars which they hide in various crevices. What do you think happens when they cut you open for surgery. You can minimize appearance but you will never have "perfect skin." We can deal with color, texture, even fat deficiency but that scarred skin is still scarred skin. This is what the future regeneration post which has mega post is discussing, regenerating the skin, this is extremely hard. and countless people are working, it's hard enough for people with burn scars all over their body to even have proper skin coverage terrible scars and all. Watch that space as its important to this talk, and the regeneration post.Why isn't cancer, hiv, and hair loss cured. Who knows but there sure are a lot of people with treatments who don't want it to be ... right.Why are people stuck in wheelchairs of life, you get my point, though our pain is very real and it does hurt us, this is something a therapist deals with better (that remaining percentage) or you will take a hit from unrealistic expectations of perfection. People are mean and cruel, watch Youtube they flip out over the silliest things. they don't even have a way to cure moles all over people's body.Scar treatment is progressive elaboration, one is never one and done, it takes time to heal, you get small percentages of improvement, ... one finally gets to a point when enough is enough. Aging also effects the face during this process.
