Kinesiology Taping for Scars

Fibrotic tissue, fresh scars, but also older and bonded scars can be treated well with a Medical Taping therapy; CureTape®. The kinesiology tape will accelerate the scar healing and also ensures smoother skin. The treatment does briefly turn sustained, but the results are stunning. After one period of treatment, there will be a noticeable improvement realized.

Scar treatment is dealt with in the course Lymph Taping for Edema and Skin Therapists.

What is a scar?

Scars are visible signs that remain after a wound has healed. They are the unavoidable results of injury or surgery, and their development can be unpredictable. Poor healing may contribute to scars that are obvious, unsightly or disfiguring. Even a wound that heals well can result in a scar that affects your appearance. Scars may be noticeable due to their size, shape or location; they can also be raised or depressed and may differ in color or texture from the surrounding healthy tissue.

The surgeon will attempt to minimize a scar so that it is less conspicuous and blends in with the surrounding skin tone and texture.

But stress or too much movement of the skin may result in a scar that will be more visible. Below the skin surface scar tissue may occur in the connective tissue, also known as fibrosis of the tissue.

medical-taping-scars-2

Kinesiology taping to enhance scar treatment

Since the kinesiology tape is not sterile, a fresh scar should only be taped if the wound is closed and covered with a sterile application.  In order to promote wound healing, at this stage, it is possible to apply strips of tape next to the wound. The wound will therefore visibly close faster.

General rules in order to keep an eye for the treatment of a scar:
• Strips of 1 to 1.5 cm wide, cut in the longitudinal direction of the roll of tape
• The older and deeper the scar, the more ‘stretch’ will be required (up to 85%)
• In recent scars, we recommend using low stretch
• Do not put stress on the anchors; applying the stretch from the middle of the tape (ligament technique)

Did you know that scars are often a cause of imbalance in the body?

Scars can often be a cause of imbalance in the body and also cause other physical problems. MTC teacher, Paul van Vliet Tapet, has been utilizing kinesiology tape since 1998 and is very experienced. When he investigates a client he always looks for any existing scars on the body. For example, a scar from an appendectomy or cesarean may cause undetected symptoms.

Does your client exhibit limited movement surrounding the scar? Apply a small strip CureTape® to the scar area (preferably orange CureTape), then ask your client to execute the movement again. Your client will probably experience a noticeable difference.

Scar treatment using CureTape® medical taping therapy?

Request a Skin or Physiotherapist with edema specialist for the advice.
