The Science Behind Scar Tissue
A scar forms when the skin heals at an accelerated rate after an injury. The new tissue is often stiffer and lacks the normal elasticity of healthy skin. In challenging cases, such as a hypertrophic scar, treatment focuses on softening and smoothing the tissue. We focus on softening scar tissue by promoting blood flow and intensively nourishing the skin with active ingredients.
Aftercare for Burns: Recovery and Suppleness
Burns can significantly alter the skin’s structure, even after proper medical healing. The skin in these areas may feel tight, dry, and less elastic. In the aftercare of (healed) burns, the main goal is to accelerate skin recovery and keep the scar tissue supple to prevent adhesions in the deeper skin layers.
Once the wound has completely closed and new tissue has formed, it is essential to intensively moisturize and stimulate the skin. The Remodeling Cream is the ideal solution for this; its stimulating effect on blood circulation keeps the new tissue flexible and actively helps to soften scar tissue. Don’t forget to protect the area after a burn: new tissue is especially vulnerable to sunlight. Use a daily protective product such as the High Quality Cream to prevent pigmentation changes in the scar.
Your hannah ritual for optimal skin repair
-
Cleansing (Cleansing Oil): For damaged skin, it’s essential to keep the skin barrier intact. Our Cleansing Oil cleanses and nourishes at the same time, which is the first step toward smoother skin.
-
Activate & Repair (Cell Active): This is your must-have product to accelerate skin repair. It stimulates cell renewal and supports the skin where it needs help the most.
-
Massage & Texturizing (Remodeling Cream): The Remodeling Cream is crucial for softening scar tissue. Thanks to its intensely stimulating effect on blood circulation and connective tissue, it makes stiff areas much more supple. This is the best way to address adhesions in the tissue.
-
Protection (High Quality Cream): UV radiation is the biggest enemy of scars; it causes permanent discoloration. The High Quality Cream with SPF 15 provides optimal protection for new tissue against the sun, which is essential if you want to fade scars on your face.
Advice from our hannah skin coach
Treating a scar is a long-term process. The golden rule is: massage. By massaging the tissue daily with a suitable oil or cream, you break up adhesions and stimulate blood flow. This makes the tissue noticeably less stiff. But be careful: don’t start this until the wound has completely healed! Whether it’s a surgical scar or acne-related scarring, we’ll work together to determine what your skin needs to heal optimally.
Frequently asked questions
By consistently following a skin-rejuvenating routine (such as Cell Active) and always protecting your skin from UV rays, you’ll see a dramatic improvement in its texture and color over time.
Products should not be applied until the burn has completely closed and healed. Once that happens, you can start stimulating the skin with the Remodeling Cream to soften the scar tissue and restore the skin’s suppleness. If you have any doubts about the condition of your skin, always consult your treating physician or your hannah skin coach first.
No, every scar requires a customized approach. For example, treatment for a hypertrophic scar focuses more on pressure and hydration than treatment for a superficial scar.
New scar tissue is extremely sensitive to sunlight. Unprotected exposure can lead to "hyperpigmentation," causing the scar to become much darker than the surrounding skin.
