Precision pressure for burn & scar care.
Sustained, even pressure is the cornerstone of scar management. Custom flat-knit pressure garments help flatten, soften and fade hypertrophic and burn scars — improving both comfort and appearance.
How burns and scars respond to pressure.
When deep burns or wounds heal, the body can over-produce collagen, creating raised, firm and often itchy hypertrophic scars. Without intervention these scars can tighten, restrict movement and remain prominent for years.
Pressure garment therapy applies continuous, controlled pressure over the healing scar. This encourages the disorganised collagen to remodel in a flatter, more orderly pattern — softening the scar, easing itch and discomfort, and improving the final result.
When pressure therapy is used
- Hypertrophic scarring after deep or extensive burns
- Raised, firm or red scars after surgery or trauma
- Scars that itch, pull or restrict joint movement
- Scar management for children and adults alike
- Alongside silicone inserts for stubborn areas
Remodelling scars with steady pressure.
Effective scar therapy needs firm, uninterrupted pressure shaped exactly to the body. Because scars rarely follow standard sizes, custom flat-knit garments are made to your precise measurements — delivering the consistent CCL 2–3 pressure that scar remodelling requires.
Flattens & softens
Continuous pressure helps reorganise collagen, gradually flattening and softening raised scars.
Eases symptoms
Reduces the itching, redness and tightness that often accompany healing scar tissue.
Made to measure
Custom flat-knit garments fit complex areas — hands, face, neck and joints — with even pressure.

Frequently asked questions
For active scar management, garments are usually worn 23 hours a day — removed only for washing and skin care — and continued for many months as advised by your clinician.
Pressure therapy typically continues for 12–18 months while the scar is still active (red, raised or firm). Your specialist and clinician review progress regularly.
Scars rarely match standard sizes and often cover joints or complex areas. Custom flat-knit garments are made to your exact measurements to deliver even, therapeutic pressure where it’s needed.
Yes — pressure therapy is widely used for children after burns. Juzo’s Julius children’s programme provides custom garments suited to growing bodies, re-measured as the child grows.
Yes. Silicone inserts are often worn under the garment over stubborn or firm areas to enhance softening. Your specialist will advise on the right combination.
