Scar therapy
What is a scar?
A scar is a skin disorder that originated after a wound healing disorder. There are various factors that can influence wound healing such as the location, size and depth of the wound. But infections, poor circulation and smoking can also influence this. In addition, the way in which a scar forms is partly genetically determined.
Different types of scars can occur depending on wound healing. Genetic factors also determine what a scar will ultimately look like. Scars can be subdivided into normal scars, hypertrophic scars (raised), atrophic scars (sunken) and keloidal scars (outside of original wound area).
In some cases, the scar may limit freedom of movement, may be painful or may be experienced as cosmetically disruptive. In these cases you can benefit greatly from scar treatment.
What can we handle?
With the help of scar therapy we can treat the following types of scars:
hypertrophic scars
atrophic scars
burn scars
The purpose of the treatment is to reduce the discomfort of the scar.
The treatment
For the first treatment you will receive an intake interview and photos will be made. These will be used to map the results of the treatments. If a scar limits the freedom of movement, we can make the scar smoother through scar therapy so that you can move more easily. If the scar feels painful (this is often accompanied by limited freedom of movement) we can reduce the pain through scar therapy. If you experience the scar as cosmetically disruptive, we can camouflage the scar. A combination of treatment is of course also possible.
Different methods can be used to treat a scar. A scar treatment usually consists of scar massage. Depending on the type of scar, the goal of the scar massage is to stimulate blood flow, mobilize (increase freedom of movement) or reduce pain. Of course, a combination of massage grips can also be used. Endermotherapy can also be used to improve the scar.
In addition to the treatments at Skin Therapy Juno, you will also receive home advice to take care of your scar as optimally as possible. This home advice consists of cleaning the scar and taking care of the scar with a specific cream (hannah Touch Of Silk or hannah Remodeling Cream).
In addition, we teach you certain massage grips that you could apply yourself to promote the recovery process. In addition to the scar massage, use can be made of lymph tape, endermology, microneedling and silicone therapy. This depends entirely on the type of scar. We will give you personal advice on this during your intake interview.
Preparations
We advise you not to use painkillers for the treatment, as this can affect the pain threshold, which may cause the scar to be treated too intensively. If you have nevertheless used a painkiller for treatment, discuss this with us. This can affect the treatment plan.
Wear comfortable clothing to facilitate undressing and dressing.
How many treatments?
The treatment frequency depends on the type of scar and the treatment goal. On average you will be treated 1-2 times a week. For each treatment, we discuss how the treatments work and whether the treatment plan needs to be adjusted.
Aftercare
We advise you to rub the scar during the day with hannah Juvi Protect. This product repairs and protects the skin. In addition, this product contains an SPF 30 so that the scar is well protected against the sun.
We advise you to rub the scar in the evening. This is possible with hannah Touch Of Silk, a silicone oil-based product that promotes the skin's natural healing power and soothes scar tissue. This is also possible with hannah Remodeling Cream, a product with a high percentage of natural vitamin E, which ensures the repair of damaged skin. Complaints such as itching, pain or discoloration of the skin can reduce this.
compensation
In some cases, scar therapy is reimbursed. For the amount of reimbursement from your health insurer, we recommend that you contact your health insurer.
After the treatment you will receive an invoice that you can submit to your insurer.
