Scar tissue management

Scar tissue management involves caring for and improving the appearance and function of a scar after injury or surgery. It includes techniques like gentle massage, moisturizing, and protecting the area from sun exposure to prevent excessive stiffness, redness, or thickening. Sometimes, healthcare providers recommend specific treatments such as silicone gels or sheets, pressure therapy, or physical therapy to promote better healing. The goal is to minimize discomfort, reduce the visibility of the scar, and restore as much normal tissue function as possible. Proper management can lead to improved healing outcomes and a more acceptable cosmetic result.
