A targeted session for small scars that are fully closed and completely healed. The focus is local comfort, mobility and sensitivity in the tissue surrounding the scar.
Your practitioner assesses the scar and the tissue around it before anything else. If the area is appropriate for treatment, fine needles may be placed around — not through — the scar and surrounding tissue. If the scar is not suitable, the practitioner will say so and refer you back to your medical provider.
The scar and surrounding tissue are evaluated before treatment, and unsuitable areas are declined.
Fine needles are placed around the scar and surrounding tissue to support local comfort and mobility.
The service is limited to small, fully healed scars, with clear referral when medical evaluation is needed.
Following an individual assessment, fine acupuncture needles may be placed around the scar or surrounding tissue to support local comfort, mobility and sensitivity. The service may be appropriate for small, fully healed surgical scars, minor injury scars, localized tightness surrounding a healed scar, or restricted mobility associated with a small scar or adhesion. This treatment is not provided for open wounds, active infections, recently closed surgical sites, unexplained skin lesions or scars requiring medical evaluation. Acupuncture is not claimed to remove scars, dissolve scar tissue or permanently eliminate adhesions.
