Scarring is a normal part of the healing process, depending on the nature of the wound; but this is not my area of expertise. What I can tell you is that cells communicate with each other by means of chemical processes, not IR radiation. Mildly heating tissue with IR can hasten healing because the local blood flow is increased in response.
