Claygate ClinicAll TherapiesScar Therapy

Milly is a fully trained Scar Therapist in the RESTORE Scar Therapy Method, an evidence-based, non-invasive treatment recommended by medical professionals. Developed by Emma Holly, a leading UK scar therapy teacher and Harley Street specialist, this method is used in the NHS and top private healthcare providers. RESTORE scar therapy delivers excellent results and can be integrated with osteopathic treatments. Milly also provides advice on topical products

 

What is Scar Tissue?

Scar tissue forms after the healing of a wound or injury and differs in texture and quality from the original tissue, often being less functional. The appearance of a scar can vary based on the wound's size, depth, location, the person's age, and genetic factors. Abnormal scar formation can lead to functional and aesthetic issues.

What is Scar Therapy?

Scar therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses specialist massage, fascial release, and therapy tools to treat scar tissue, fibrosis, and adhesions. This therapy promotes healthy recovery, improving both the appearance and function of scars. It is holistic, addressing discomfort, pain, and overall mobility, and is most effective for scars less than two years old, though older scars may also benefit.

What Will Happen at My Appointment?

Your appointment will begin with a full case history and an assessment of the scar and surrounding area. Treatment will include specialist scar massage, creams if needed, silicone cupping, and after-care advice. This may be combined with other physical therapy techniques to address the broader impact of the scar. Treatment duration depends on the age and condition of the scar.

When can I start Scar Therapy?

Scar therapy can begin once all scabs have healed. For serious injuries or major surgeries, we may need to check with your Consultant to ensure there are no concerns or restrictions before starting treatment. Ideally, scar therapy can commence approximately 8 weeks post-surgery, depending on the complexity and invasiveness of the procedure. Larger surgeries may require more time for deep tissue healing. Contact us early so we can coordinate with your consultant, if necessary, and schedule a convenient appointment for you.

Which types of scars can be treated?

Milly can offer a holistic scar therapy treatment to clients with various types of scars, from open or keyhole surgery, to trauma injuries. Scar therapy can be particularly useful for those with or predisposed to keloid or hypertrophic scarring.
  • C-Section
  • Oncology
  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • Burn trauma
  • Hand trauma
  • Cosmetic surgery
*If the type of scar you have is not listed below please still get in touch to discuss whether treatment is suitable.

Benefits of Scar Therapy

  • Enhance Functional and Cosmetic Outcomes: Scar massage and home-care guidance can significantly improve the appearance and functionality of both old and new scars.
  • Alleviate Sensitivity, Pain, and Itching: Stimulating the scar area can normalize sensitivity, while using scar creams, oils, silicone, or gels can reduce itchiness.
  • Increase Mobility: Encouraging movement between skin, fascia, and muscle layers can improve range and ease of motion, reducing the pulling and puckering of scar tissue.
  • Address Scars and Fascia: Scar therapy stimulates changes in the scar tissue on the skin surface and in the underlying adhesions or fibrosis.
  • Promote Healing: Surgeons often recommend scar massage to promote healing, minimize long-term complications, and support overall recovery.
  • Enhance Emotional Wellbeing: Therapeutic and holistic scar therapy helps you accept your scars, improving emotional health.
