Abstract

Abstract

Through thousands of years of development, scar pressure therapy has become an important treatment method for hypertrophic scars and keloids. This article reviews the historical evolution of scar pressure therapy, analyzes its biological mechanisms and current clinical applications, and discusses the classification of pressure therapy methods and related principles. It has been demonstrated that pressure therapy can effectively improve the appearance and function of scars, with mechanisms involving the regulation of scar tissue morphology, cellular functions, immune responses, and extracellular matrix remodeling. Despite the variety and widespread application of current therapeutic approaches, challenges remain, including uneven pressure application, poor patient compliance, and inaccurate pressure monitoring. Future research should explore the multidimensional influencing factors of pressure therapy to achieve more personalized and scientific scar treatment strategies.
