Let’s answer your QUESTIONS
Learn how to use The Scar Wand® at home to improve your scar and manage pain and discomfort.
How often do you use The Scar Wand®?
To start with, aim to use The Scar Wand® daily. If there are areas of tenderness or it becomes sore, spread the work out to every other day and then build it back to benign daily. Continue to use The Scar Wand® daily for 4-6 weeks, then gradually spread the days out to every other day, then continue to use The Scar Wand® once a week, every week. If you stop using The Scar Wand®, you may feel the scar get tight again so you can restart or continue to use it as the scar tissue gets tight again. We highly recommend using our Scar Cream with The Scar Wand® in addition to using the cream once more a day. This will aid the improvement of the scar motility.
What will you experience?
Everyone’s scar is unique. You may feel tightness, raised areas, grainy areas, and can be uncomfortable. These feelings are normal.
The reason you are feeling any of the above is due to the scar tissue being highly sensitive. Do not stop working over the scar, just make sure you ease up the pressure over these areas and keep the movements small over these areas.
What does The Scar Wand® not help with?
The Scar Wand® is effective on incisions scars. Currently, it is not suitable for stretch marks, acne, eczema, keloid scars or burns. We advise not to use The Scar Wand® over a scar that has mesh directly underneath- eg from a hernia operation. This may change in the future as we do more research. If you suffer from any skin conditions including psoriasis please do contact us before purchasing.
How about exposure to sunlight?
You should always apply sunscreen to your scar as it may be particularly sensitive to the sun. Make sure there is adequate spf over the scar. If you have plates and pins inserted it is recommended not to lie in the sun.
Can you get rid of my scar?
In short, No. We can not remove your scar. The aim of The Scar Wand® is to make your scar more mobile, flatten your scar, cause less redness, itching, pulling or tugging in the area of your scar.
Can you use it in either hand?
Yes. If you are right handed the logo will be pointing up. If you are Left handed the logo will not be showing.
Is there an age limit to use The Scar Wand®?
Nope. But there are a few things to be aware of. If you elderly and/or have very delicate skin you need to really start with minimal pressure (just the Wand resting on the scar and running the Wand along the length of it).
I'm on anti-coagulants (Warfarin), can I use The Scar Wand®?
Yes you can still use The Scar Wand. You will just need to really aware of when the redness appears. It will take less time than someone not on medication.
How do you clean The Scar Wand®?
Please clean The Scar Wand® after EVERY use. You can use any antibacterial product to clean The Scar Wand®. Use a wipe/cloth to wipe the product off and then ensure The Scar Wand® is then dried before putting it back in the bag.
