ELION POINT OF VIEW
Similar surgical scars
may need different care.
A red and raised scar, a widened scar, and a scar tethered beneath the skin are not the same. ELION looks at both the feature that stands out now and what may be driving it beneath the surface.
MAP BEFORE TREATMENT
Read the scar,
before treating it.
We distinguish red, brown, white or mixed color that differs from the surrounding skin.
We check how far the scar has widened and whether its surface is raised, depressed or uneven.
We feel for tissue held beneath the skin and ask whether movement causes pulling or discomfort.
SIGNATURE PROGRAMS

SURGICAL SCARELION Scar Map
We review the surgical area and timing, redness, color, surface and tethering, then decide what to address first. Change is reassessed after three treatment sessions before the next plan is set.

A REASSESSMENT CYCLE
Check. Treat.
Check again.
Assess
Photographs and examination help separate the scar's color, thickness, surface and tethering.
Personalize
We choose a method and order that start with the concern affecting the scar most.
Reassess
We compare change after treatment, then adjust the strength, interval and next priority.
AFTERCARE & RECOVERY
Treatment ends.
Recovery continues.
Check when to wash and moisturize, when to restart sunscreen, makeup and exercise, and which symptoms need prompt attention.
Washing and moisturizing
The start time depends on the procedure and whether a dressing was used. Select your procedure to follow the guidance day by day.
Sunscreen and makeup
Timing is based on surface healing. If a crust is present, let it come away naturally rather than picking it.
Exercise and sauna
Heat and friction can prolong redness or swelling. Restart after the recommended rest period for your procedure.
When to contact us promptly
Do not wait if pain is increasing or you develop blisters, more drainage or redness that is spreading.
