In general that depends on several factors. Like the site of the injury (head, chest, abdomen, limbs...),  the causing factor (burn, cut, wound, surgery, ...), the age (children, young, elderly), and if there is an additional factor that can prolong or even prevent the healing process (infection, diabetes, mal union of the wound lips, ...). Sometimes applying some medication on the wound may lead to generate fibrosis which can develop to scars.
