Scar Therapy

What is it?

Scarring is the body's natural reaction to deep skin damage. They occur both inside and outside of the body. Often leaving a visible mark when healed.

Scars commonly feel tight, as if they are pulling, become red and raised. The effect of the scar can have both physical and emotional implications. With even the 'best' looking scars causing symptoms.

Scar Therapy at B&A combines a thorough assessment with the appropriate advice, hands on treatment and LymphaTouch to help manipulate your scar and in turn improve symptoms associated with them. 

LymphaTouch combines negative pressure and mechanical high-frequency vibration, which soften adhesions, improve tissue elasticity, flexibility and joint range of motion.

Scars take 2 years to mature, so seeking advice early is helpful, but treatment can still be given to older scars – they just might be slightly more stubborn.

What does it feel like?

We use either Naqi Optimising Oil or Alhydran on your scar, depending on need. The scar massage itself is not and should not be painful. You will be given self management guidance to practice between sessions.
