Why Scars Matter for Skin Health

“How can my scar impact skin health?”

1. They Disrupt Fascia and Nerve Flow
Scars can create tight, sticky areas in the fascia — the connective tissue under your skin — which can block or alter nerve signaling, circulation, and lymph flow.

2. They Restrict Movement and Drainage
Even small scars can reduce mobility in the skin and deeper tissues. This can lead to fluid buildup, inflammation, or trapped toxins — especially in areas like the abdomen or face.

3. They Can Act Like “Energetic Roadblocks”
In functional and neurological care, we often see that scars can disrupt communication along the nervous system, much like a kink in a hose. This may show up as chronic skin sensitivity, rashes, slow healing, or even fatigue in distant parts of the body.

4. They May Cause Compensations Elsewhere
A C-section scar might affect posture, digestion, or pelvic function. Facial scars might alter lymph drainage or sinus flow. Over time, these compensations can impact skin clarity, inflammation, and texture.
