Love your new body.
It is unlikely that you chose to have a scar but they are there to stay. So it makes sense to look after them and be comfortable.
You scar does not have to be painful, or unsightly. Over hangs can be improved and the redness can also be improved.
WHAT IS SCAR THERAPY:
Scar therapy is a light treatment helping optimise healing improving appearance, sensation, mobility and coming to terms with your surgery.
WHEN CAN IS START:
You can start massaging oil as soon as the scab is healed and fallen off. Book in for treatment from 6 weeks following surgery to optimise results. Please call and book in before then as there is lots that can be done in the mean time such as breathing exercises and light movement.
WHO IS SCAR THERAPY SUITABLE FOR:
C-section
Cancer treatment
Burns
Old scars (improvements can be seen even after 10 years )
News scars (the earlier we start the better and quicker the results)
Studies have found that light stretch and compression stimulates the release of collagenase reducing the potential for excess collagen formation or fibrosis. Drainage of excess fluid with pumping and sweeping actions trigger anti-inflammatory and hydrating actions helping promote healthier less inflamed tissues.
