• Scar management

For many people, scars can cause ongoing, tightness, discomfort and itching (to name a few) and have a significant psychological impact on patients. Our scar management service uses a range of tools, including education of nutrition and scar health, the use of specialist equipment, manual techniques and acupuncture, to minimise symptoms over time.

Why might you need this service?
Some scarring can be painful, itchy, numb, hypersensitive or tight. Our team will assess the scar to help identify the best treatment to provide some relief from these symptoms.

Why kind of scars do we treat?
We treat all scars, regardless of age and location on the body, and from 6 weeks old or when the wound has fully healed.

What are the end benefits of scar management?
The end benefit of scar management will vary for each patient. The desired effects include softening of the skin, reduced sensitivity and increased lymphatic flow underneath the skin.
