Katie Piper- Scar Management

For those of you that may not be familiar with the series 'Katie my beautiful face' and 'Katie my beautiful friends, this concise video illustrates the groundbreaking procedures being used in scar treatment and management.

Katie underwent- intensive deep tissue massage, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, high pressure jet therapy, edermology and the use of pressure garments. This was not just an appearance treatment, it helped the skin to become more subtle and have more movement to allow Katie to lead a more normal life.

The Katie Piper foundation is trying to get a scar management centre in the UK, as she had to travel to France.

Physiotherapy and hydrotherapy are fairly common techniques but are being newly applied to scar management- perhaps some of our other areas of research could lead us to looking at an existing treatment or technique that can be applied in a new way.

If you are interested her documentaries are available on 4OD still.
