Scar care doesn't begin when the skin appears healed. It should start as early as possible and be tailored to the individual wound. As soon as the wound is closed and no open areas are visible, targeted, gentle scar care can begin. The goal is to keep the skin soft and elastic, promote blood circulation, and prevent adhesions.

Michaela Liedler's tip: Mindful, pain-adapted everyday movements with as little protective posture as possible promote tissue mobility during wound healing and prevent adhesions.

If your scar has been there for a long time, it may have "grown stuck." You might notice this, for example, by the following:

• Tension when moving
• Irregularities in the skin's texture
• Pain or pulling sensation when pressure is applied

For such adhesions, the Liedler Concept now comes into play with targeted, gentle mobilization of the tissue. Experts who have learned this method can help with stubborn scar problems and scar tissue treatment. Michaela Liedler herself is also available for patients in her practice in Vienna (https://narbenzentrum.at).

When the skin is injured, for example by a cut, an operation, or a caesarean section, your body immediately begins wound healing.

This process occurs in three phases:

1. Inflammatory Phase (0–3 days): The body cleans the wound, stops bleeding, and fends off germs.
2. Proliferative Phase (3–21 days): New tissue forms, and collagen is built.
3. Remodeling Phase (up to 1 year or longer): Scar tissue is reorganized, becoming stronger and more elastic.

During the first two weeks of wound healing, invisible adhesions can form in the deeper skin layers, which can later lead to restricted movement, pain, or unsightly scars.

Once the fresh scar is completely closed, gentle care aids regeneration. Products like KAMI skincare SOS Skin Care Oil are ideal for this period:

• Rich in repairing plant oils
• Supports cell regeneration
• Provides intensive moisture

For older scars, studies show that care with moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant active ingredients positively influences the transition phase from inflammation to new tissue formation and improves later scar formation. Current dermatological research confirms the importance of early moisturization and mechanical softening of the scar.

Note: Only apply once the wound has been medically cleared (e.g., after surgery or medical clearance for a fresh wound)!

1. Clean – gently, without alcohol
2. Apply oil – use sparingly
3. Work in light circular motions – always without pain
4. Massage in the direction of lines – horizontally and vertically
5. Apply balm – for rich care as a final step

Short and regular: twice daily, 5–10 minutes. A short routine with a big impact.
