Realistically scars happen to deep wounds that don't heal perfectly. A scar does not go away over time, it's stuck there for the rest of your life. Plus, the scar probably occurred at a point in her life where her aura hadn't yet unlocked. Many scars do go away over time, though. My brother got a deep cut on his wrist (pretty narrowly missing those arteries), and had to get stitches and had this weird cross-hatch scar for a while. It started off a fleshy red color, but gradually faded to a light pink, and now it's the same color as the rest of his skin. The shape is still there, just a little bit thicker than his skin and a tiny bit shiny, but you'd probably have to know where it is to notice it.

That being said, it took something like eight years to get to that point, and Weiss has probably not had that much time yet. I tend to assume she only healed the wound as much as she needed to, closing the wound but leaving the scar tissue, in order to conserve Aura. It seems to me that Weiss has relatively weak Aura, which is either the cause or the effect of her highly evasive fighting style. I think that Weiss (and Ren) tend to use their Aura much more actively, which puts a greater strain on their aura, as use up their resetrves faster.
