What Is Scar Therapy?
Scar therapy is a skilled, hands on treatment that works on the tissue around a scar to reduce tightness, improve mobility and support natural healing. Every scar is unique, which is why we begin with a detailed assessment before creating a custom treatment plan to meet you and your needs.
Our scar therapy treatments are all gentle and non invasive, this makes them suitable for a wide range of patients. If you are nervous about touching or treating a scar for the first time, be assured we offer patient and understanding care.

What Difference Can Scar Therapy Make?
The main goal of scar therapy treatment is to make your scar more comfortable and improve its daily function. With regular treatment, many patients may notice a visible improvement in the appearance of their scar over time. It is important to note, however, that while a scar can significantly improve in appearance, it will not completely disappear, which is perfectly normal. How quickly you see results will depend on a number of individual factors:
- The location of the scar
- Whether it was planned or an emergency
- The type & age of the scar
- Your skin type, age & genetics
- Your general medical history
Some scars respond to therapy within a number of weeks, while others may take several months of treatment. Older scars can also be treated. We are experienced working with scars from as early as 6 weeks old right through to 27 year old scars. Older scars may take longer to see improvements in symptoms or appearance.
Gentle Comfortable & Effective Scar Treatment
All of our scar therapy treatments are carried out gently and with your comfort as the priority. If at any point during a session you experience any discomfort, simply let your therapist know and they will adapt the treatment accordingly. Your wellbeing always comes first and you can be assured you will be completely cared for by fully qualified therapists.
