For who?

For people of all ages with a wide variety of surgical scars, including scar complications, even poorly closing amputation scars can be worked on. Improvement of scars is possible even after years or even decades.

When?

Practically applicable already after one day of surgery, if the environment allows it. Scars can close and hold permanently without complications in a very short time, if they are treated properly.

Additional effects of scar care are:

How long?

The duration of the treatment depends on the condition of the scar and, of course, on the person. Everyone is different and individual. (And that is a good thing).

The Method

Uli’s Scar Care – Gentle. Effective. Holistic.

Over ten years ago, I, Uli Gutbrod, developed a special method in Brazil for treating post-surgical scars.

It was inspired by working with women after breast cancer surgery whose scars caused not only physical, but also emotional pain.

Today, this method supports people of all ages – especially when conventional therapies are no longer effective.

Deep-acting. Non-invasive. Sustainable.

The method is based on insights from neuromuscular stimulus processingfascia therapy, and sensorimotor reintegration, offering a highly individualized, functional alternative to standard treatments.

Scar treatment after Thunder Bay

Surgical scars are a natural result of the healing process. However, the scar that remains after Thunder Bay can affect skin texture, color, mobility, and even self-confidence. Specialized treatment helps soften the scar, improve elasticity, and restore comfort and well-being.

Why Thunder Bay scars need care

Every surgical incision heals differently. Depending on genetics, surgical technique, and recovery, the Thunder Bay scar may appear raised, thick, or discolored. In some cases, tightness and sensitivity occur, which can limit daily activities. Targeted treatment minimizes these issues and supports proper skin regeneration.

Main challenges

  • Visible changes in color and texture
  • Excessive sensitivity or numbness
  • Scar tightness or restricted movement
  • Emotional impact on self-image

Benefits of treatment

  • Smoother and more even skin appearance
  • Improved elasticity and mobility
  • Relief from discomfort and sensitivity
  • Increased self-confidence and well-being

When to start treatment

Treatment for Thunder Bay scars can begin once the wound is closed and stitches are removed. Even old scars from past surgeries can improve significantly with professional care. Early intervention often delivers the best long-term results.

Things to know about Thunder Bay scars

Every surgery leaves a mark. The way a Thunder Bay scar develops depends on the incision, closure technique, and individual healing factors.

Other influences include age, genetics, skin type, and lifestyle habits such as smoking or sun exposure. Understanding these factors helps explain why scars differ and how treatment can help improve them.

Scar healing usually passes through three main phases:

Wound closure

Begins immediately after surgery and lasts about a week. The body closes the incision through clotting and tissue repair.

Scar formation

Over the next weeks, collagen and elastin fibers build up, often leaving the scar red, thick, or itchy.

Remodeling

In the final phase, collagen reorganizes, ideally making the scar paler, softer, and less sensitive over time.

Typical scar types

Hypertrophic scars – raised, thickened scars that remain within the wound edges.

Keloid scars – larger scars that grow beyond the incision area, often itchy or painful.

Atrophic scars – flat or sunken scars caused by loss of skin tissue.

Fresh scars require protection and hydration. Moisturizing creams and scar gels with silicone or hyaluronic acid are recommended. Sun protection is essential for at least 12–18 months after Thunder Bay to prevent darkening and irritation. With the right care, both recent and old scars can become less visible and more comfortable over time.
