SCAR TREATMENT

Question

SCAR TREATMENT

Accepted Answer

Scar tissue can limit mobility, reduce range of motion after surgery, and contribute to long term discomfort or chronic pain. Scars may also affect a person’s confidence, particularly when they are raised, thickened, or cosmetically prominent. Keloid or hypertrophic scars can rub against clothing, causing ongoing sensitivity, itching, or irritation during the healing process.

Acupuncture and when appropriate, electroacupuncture can play an important role in improving scar healing. Research shows that targeted needling around scar tissue can help:

• Improve microcirculation in the scar and surrounding tissues
 • Reduce excessive collagen buildup that contributes to raised or thick scars
 • Increase tissue elasticity and break down adhesions
 • Decrease pain, itching, and sensitivity
 • Improve nerve signaling in areas with numbness or altered sensation

Electroacupuncture can enhance these benefits by delivering gentle electrical stimulation that promotes tissue remodeling. At our clinic, we use a high quality electroacupuncture device with microamp and milliamp settings, allowing us to choose the optimal current for scar treatment. Microamperage, in particular, has been shown to support cellular repair, improve circulation, and assist in reducing scar thickness and sensitivity.

Together, these techniques not only improve the appearance and function of scar tissue but can also help patients feel more comfortable, confident, and at ease in their bodies as they heal.
