Disrupted scars: How can they be rehabilitated?

Scars can be either traumatic or surgical in origin. Surgical scars are increasingly thin, supple and functional, compared with traumatic scars which still leave bulges, adhesions and discoloration.

However, many rehabilitation therapists complain that the scars, although aesthetically pleasing, remain stuck to the underlying glide planes and end up disrupting long-term movements and gestures.

So how do you restore old scars when you've tried everything? We explain!

Physiology of scars

Whatever the scar, its mission is to join the two edges of cut or torn flesh and skin. All scars go through well-defined stages:

The wound suturing stage the riverbanks meet
The coagulation stage
The infectious stage (it is necessary to let the bacterial cycle take place)
The inflammation reaction stage : exudation and fleshy buds
The resolution stage with epidermal regeneration

At each stage, the process can slow down or speed up. Sometimes the scar suppurates and has difficulty closing, sometimes the scar fibers hypertrophy and adhesions, redness and thickening appear.

Stimcare's findings?

Some functional therapists (physiotherapists, osteopaths, occupational therapists, doctors...) who have worked on scars have realized that, beyond their appearance, which can sometimes be highly unsightly (keloid, hypertrophic, pigmented), almost all of them retain their original appearance. traumatic memory leading to mechanical or painful discomfort which can be remote.

Even decades old, scars can retain the memory of the initial trauma or surgical procedure.

Disturbances are observed on :

Locomotor functions following operations, fractures, tears on knees (menisci, cruciates, prostheses), hips (prostheses), ankles (fractures, plates, torn ligaments), quadriceps, ischios and calves (tears) ...
Standing up following back operations, caesarean sections, laparoscopy ,
Hand and arm movements following fractures and operations on upper limbs, shoulders, elbows, wrists and hands.

A scar, even an insignificant one, or one that is 10 years old or more, that seems totally integrated, very often continues to cause disturbance at various levels.

How to deal with the various scarring problems?

The solution to rehabilitate your scars is to cover them with 1 or 2 Stimcare infrared patches the entire length or surface of the scar line.

The patches act like mirrors, reflecting over 95% of the infrared light emitted by the human body. This concentration of endogenous infrared activates blood microcirculation and promotes scar healing.

This patch is non-transdermalNo chemicals pass through the body. Adhesive, it stays on the skin for 3 to 5 days. Its beneficial healing action lasts up to two weeks.

All healthcare professionals who start applying patches first test their liberating action on scars. These are thousands of patients who have already benefited from this treatment with the trend :

After a few minutes, we note freedom from scarred movementsthanks to the action of the patch. In fact, by sending back endogenous infrared rays, the patch stimulates the dilation of micro-capillaries, reactivating nerve endings. This returns normal information to the brain, and natural body patterns are automatically restored.

If the scar is swollen, keloid, red or adherent, the activation of microcirculation will gradually reactivate all the healing phases. Positive results appear as early as the first month. After 2 to 4 months of daily use of the patches on the scar, we see a reduction in discoloration, a reduction in thickness, a release of adhesions - in short, a return to a healthy, supple, white and normal scar.

Another important point, the patch completely blocks UV raysThis protects the scar from the sun, avoiding burns and disturbances during the scarring phase, which lasts at least 18 months from scar closure.

Patches can be applied as soon as the scars close, i.e. 30 to 45 days after the injury or operation.
