In Bad Hersfeld, Hessen (Germany), I offer Uli's Scar Care, a proven method for treating scars after operations, accidents or illnesses. . Whether it's a breast cancer surgery, cesarean section, or burn scars – I improve the appearance, mobility, and relieve pain.
Why professional scar care?
Scars from surgeries and accidents often affect appearance and mobility. Ulis Scar Care in Bad Hersfeld can improve the appearance of scars, increase their elasticity, and relieve pain. In 2016, I treated a woman with severe scars after breast cancer surgeries. Her scars became softer, less visible, and she regained full sensation in her body. This experience inspired me to further develop my method.
Which scars do I treat?
- Surgical scars: artificial joint replacement, breast cancer, caesarean section

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:
- a noticeable reduction in pain
- swelling in the tissue is effectively reduced
- better mobility, resilience
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).

Things to know about surgical scars
A surgical incision in the skin always causes a wound. The surgeon closes this wound to the best of his or her ability so that it heals with minimal scarring.
In addition to the type of wound, its location and the closure technique used, there are other factors that influence the type of surgical scar. Some of them you can influence yourself, e.g. by sun exposure or smoking, others are controlled by facts, such as age, genetic predisposition, skin type or ethnic origin.
Scars are part of your body's natural healing process. Scarring after surgery goes through three phases[1]:
Wound closure
In the first phase, which begins immediately after the surgeon closes the wound and lasts about 1 week, the body initiates wound closure by clotting.
Scarring
Over the next 1 to 2 weeks, fibrous tissue is formed through the synthesis of collagen and elastin, resulting in a scar that may be red and itchy.
Remodeling
In the final remodeling phase, the lower part of the scar undergoes a healing and remodeling process in which, ideally, the collagen that was originally deposited in a disorderly manner is replaced by ordered collagen, making the scar paler, softer and less sensitive.
Typical scars
The scar usually takes on its final appearance after 1 to 2 years. Typical scars after surgery are:
Hypertrophic scars, which develop during the inflammatory phase and then rapidly increase in volume in the area of the cut surface.
Keloid scars, that develop about a year after surgery and are sometimes painful or itchy. They are voluminous beyond the surgical incision and often occur in areas with thick skin and in darker skin types[2].
The main goal of external sessions is to keep the freshly healed skin moist [3,4]. Therefore, external scar treatments contain highly moisturizing ingredients. Upon return to daily activities (approximately 2 to 3 weeks after surgery) after the initial scar formation phase, when a moist environment is most important for the session, scar pain usually subsides and patients return to their normal activities. This means that the scar now needs special protection from environmental factors, especially sunlight.
The fresh skin on scars is particularly sensitive to the sun and it is strongly recommended to protect scars from the sun for about 18 months[4,8,9] Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E protect the skin from light damage,[10,11] and a sunscreen protects the scar from sunlight.[3,4] Scar ointments for adults should contain hyaluronic acid or hydrolyzed collagen as well as lecithin and/or glycerin. In addition to its ability to bind water, hyaluronic acid has antioxidant properties and stimulates collagen production[6,7].
