KAATSU Skin Care For Cuts, Scars And Surgeries

For who? Mothers
For what? KAATSU Beauty, skin care

Some surgeries are minimally invasive and others are much more so.

KAATSU the original BFR can significantly help the skin and underlying tissue quickly repair and recover - so much so that experienced surgeons who know their patients who do post-surgery KAATSU will have to get their stitches removed more quickly than those patients who do not do KAATSU. "What happens is the skin recovers and grows back more quickly," explains Steven Munatones.

"If the stitches are left in the body for the 'normal' amount of time, the skin will grow over the stitches and the surgeon will have to go back in and remove the overgrown sutures. This can cause infection that is best avoided."

Repeated KAATSU Cycles has repeatedly shown to enhance the body's natural healing process, especially when the skin is cut, torn, broken or inked.

These five periodically taken photographs show the rapid recovery of the sutures and skin on a 49-year-old patient who had total knee replacement surgery at a Veterans Administration hospital in Florida.

The patient repeated KAATSU Cycles (8 cycles of 30 seconds of pressure on followed by 5 seconds of pressure off in the Group Low, Group Medium, Group High, Pro Low, Pro Medium, and Pro High modes, done sequentially) on his KAATSU Cycle 2.0.

He did his series of KAATSU Cycles in the morning and again in the evenings as he comprehensively integrated KAATSU to his regularly scheduled physical therapy.

"One thing that we have seen time and time again is how quickly the skin and wound heals when repeated KAATSU Cycles are performed over two or three sessions per day while the patient is recovering at home or in the hospital," says Munatones.

"The skin around the wound heals so quickly with the repeated KAATSU Cycles. The skin grows over the sutures - much faster than what is normally expected by physicians - as a result.

This can cause an unanticipated post-surgical issue when the skin grows over the sutures. When physicians schedule the normal removal of the sutures (e.g., 5-7 days), patients performing regular KAATSU Cycles on a daily basis often experience much faster than normal healing of their wounds and incisions. So, these patients should inform their attending physicians of this KAATSU phenomenon
."

Key Principles of Rehabilitation & Recovery

* Do KAATSU Cycle frequently (i.e., daily or twice daily), using primarily the KAATSU Cycle or KAATSU Progressive Cycle modes.
* One session per day can be an intense KAATSU Cycle physical therapy session (e.g., under the guidance of a physical therapist); the other sessions should be comfortable doing KAATSU recovery (e.g., while relaxing or doing household chores).
* Always be well hydrated before and during each KAATSU session.
* Always use the KAATSU Cycle mode; never the KAATSU Constant mode during the recovery period - unless you are doing something complicated or in the pool (e.g., eggbeatering, swimming, or shooting).
* Always use the arm AirBands first before you use the leg AirBands.
* Never use the arm and leg bands at the same time.
* Always use a 1-finger tightness on the AirBands (i.e., you can put one finger between your skin and the bands).
* Always start the KAATSU Cycle mode in the Low Pressure setting. Then, you can increase the pressure setting to Medium and High later.
* You can do single-limb KAATSU Cycle sets on your injured leg, as you wish.
* You can utilize the "double-stacking principle" where you can do other primary activities (e.g., typing emails, making phone calls, participating in a Zoom meeting, reading, walking comfortably) while you do KAATSU Cycle sets as you sit and relax.

Key Pressure Principles

* Always start the KAATSU Cycle mode in the Low Pressure setting.
* Frequently check your Capillary Refill Time (CRT).
* To check your CRT on your arms, firmly press your thumb into the palm of your hand, and then release to check your CRT. If the blood returns to your palm within 1-2 seconds (i.e., counting as "one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two..."), then you can increase the pressure to Medium Pressure (or, alternatively, High Pressure).
* To check your CRT on your legs, firmly press your thumb into your quadricep or calf, and then release to check your CRT. If the blood returns to your quadricep or calf within 1-2 seconds (i.e., counting as "one-thousand-one, one-thousand-two..."), then you can increase the pressure to Medium Pressure (or, alternatively, High Pressure).

Suggested Protocols of a Morning Session

* First do 2-6 KAATSU Cycle sets on your arms (i.e., 8 repeats of 30 seconds of inflation followed by 5 seconds of deflation).
* You can "work through" the deflation phase (i.e., keep doing repetitions when the AirBands are deflated), doing your normal upper body exercises.
* Then, remove the AirBands on your arms and place AirBands on your legs.
* Do up to 6 KAATSU Cycle sets on your legs while you do a variety of exercises (e.g., repeated Heel Raises, repeated Toe Curls, repeated Leg Extensions, comfortable pace KAATSU Walking).

Suggested Protocols of an Evening Session

* First do 2-4 KAATSU Cycle sets on your arms.
* You can simply stretch, sit comfortably, or hold a box while you are doing the KAATSU Cycle sets on your arms.
* THen remove the AirBands on your arms and place AirBands on your legs.
* Do 4-6 KAATSU Cycle sets on your legs while sitting comfortably.
