LLLT is brilliant post-op.

 

Whatever about herbal Tx, I would suggest IR laser every 2 days for 1

week.

 

Also, the patient should but a TENS and use it for 20 minutes along the

length of the incision every day for 1 month.

 

Best regards,

I have seen scars disappear with aloe vera applied.

Again, no exactly TCM.
