Scar Massage

Scar massage is a precise, gentle, and progressive treatment that fits into a global therapeutic approach aiming to restore balance and comfort to tissues after an injury or surgical procedure.

Using specific techniques, the therapist works in depth to improve the quality of the scar. The benefits are numerous: Improved skin flexibility, reduced pain and tightness, release of tissue adhesions, stimulation of local circulation, and enhanced aesthetic appearance. This massage also helps restore sensitivity in the area and allows the patient to reconnect with a part of their body that may have become a source of discomfort (functional and/or aesthetic) or emotional tension. It is intended for anyone with a scar — whether recent (but fully closed) or older — whether post-surgical, post-traumatic, or related to a medical condition.

Each session begins with a detailed conversation between the therapist and the patient. Together, they define a personalized treatment plan, based on the type, age, and sensitivity of the scar.

The massage is performed with great precision, following a respectful and attentive progression. The therapist adjusts each technique in response to the skin's reaction and the patient's sensations to ensure the most effective and comfortable care. This relationship of trust and attentive listening is essential to support the healing process.

Finally, personalized advice is offered to extend the benefits at home. The goal is to actively involve the patient in their healing process by giving them the tools to take care of their skin every day.

Scar massage can be carried out in a dedicated session, but it is more often integrated into a complete rehabilitation session, particularly when there is an associated loss of mobility, pain or functional discomfort.

In some cases, massage can be complemented by the use of LPG (medical endermology), a non-invasive mechanical technology that stimulates the tissues deep down.

LPG is particularly indicated for softening old, retracted or adherent scars, and for improving local circulation. It optimises skin suppleness, reduces deep adhesions and improves the aesthetic appearance of the scar.
