Dry needling for scars is a specialized technique that involves using fine needles to treat scar tissue and improve its appearance and function. By inserting needles into and around the scar tissue, dry needling can help break down fibrous tissue, increase blood flow, and stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This process can reduce scar tightness, improve mobility, and promote a more natural skin texture. It is particularly beneficial for treating hypertrophic scars, keloids, and surgical scars. Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, and this technique can be part of a comprehensive scar management plan.
This case study will show how Dry Needling can dramatically improve the scar appearance and texture over a period of 6 months and 3 dry needling procedures, each performed 8 weeks apart. Right breast: Necrotic Tissue & Contracture Scar.
