ELION 7-AXIS SCAR ASSESSMENT
We check how your scar looks, feels and moves. Seven simple views help identify what needs attention first.
THE SEVEN AXES
Seven assessment axes do not mean seven treatments. Care focuses on the features that matter for your scar.
Is the scar becoming redder or larger?
We look for recent increases in redness, size, firmness or itching and whether the scar is still changing or beginning to settle. This helps guide timing and treatment strength.
Is it raised, depressed or wider than before?
We distinguish raised, depressed, widened or stepped edges and tethering. Height and depth matter, but so does the way the scar meets the surrounding skin.
How does its color differ from the surrounding skin?
We separate redness, brown pigmentation, white or lighter areas, and mixed color change. Different causes of color change may call for different methods and timing.
How much do pain, itching, burning or pulling bother you?
We ask about the frequency and intensity of pain, itching, tenderness, burning and pulling. Significant symptoms can change priorities even when the visible scar looks subtle.
Do movement and friction stretch or irritate the scar?
We assess forces that can stretch or irritate the scar, including joint movement, pulling along the jaw, chest or shoulder, and pressure from clothing or masks.
How do its location and nearby structures affect care?
We consider areas prone to keloids, frequently moving sites, skin thickness and nearby structures. A similar-looking scar may need a different approach in a different location.
Does the scar limit movement or daily activities?
We review limited movement, contracture, pain-related difficulty and anatomic distortion. When function is affected, surgical assessment or rehabilitation may take priority over cosmetic treatment.
Photos and an examination help set the first priority.
Methods are selected for your needs; recovery is checked each visit.
We compare progress and decide whether to continue, adjust or finish.
We review changes after 3 sessions and decide the next step. Total sessions, treatment methods and intervals depend on your condition and response.
KOREAN PATENT APPLICATION PENDING
ScarAxis records activity, contour, color change, symptoms, tension, location-related risk and functional impact to help organize treatment priorities and follow change over time.
RESEARCH
Established scar tools such as the Vancouver Scar Scale and POSAS separate features such as vascularity, color, thickness, pliability and symptoms. ScarAxis also records tension, site-related risk and function because these can change practical treatment priorities.
Explore the seven views used to separate pores, surface unevenness, redness, pigment, elasticity, adhesion depth and treatment safety.
