What if I am uncomfortable touching my scar, about how it happened or how it looks?
Firstly, please do not worry.
My training allows me to modify your treatment to specifically suit you.
I also understand that talking about the experiences surrounding your scar may generate emotional feelings.
I have my own scars, with their own stories and will do all I can to put you at ease during your treatment.
When will I notice changes?
You may immediately notice changes, or you may notice changes in the days following treatment.
Some people require a couple of treatments before any significant changes are observed.
How soon can I have scar therapy?
Generally speaking, you can commence therapy once you've completed 8 weeks of healing.
However, to avoid issues with starting your first treatment, please get in touch before booking
so we can chat about your individual circumstances.
Will my scar vanish?
Unfortunately, we can't make your scar tissue disappear.
Results vary, and early treatment is recommended for the best cosmetic results.
BUT it's never too late and old scars can still benefit from treatment as well.
