We successfully treat all types of scars, with a main focus on Cesarean section and cosmetic scars, alongside burn scars, oncology-related scarring, skin grafts, and orthopedic surgical scars.
By employing precise mobilization techniques, we aim to improve tissue mobility, restore neural function and circulation, and promote efficient fluid exchange, facilitating a resilient tissue recovery process.
This comprehensive clinical approach targets disorganized collagen fiber alignment, fascial adhesions, and localized fibrosis beneath the skin’s surface.
Scar therapy helps by significantly reducing common symptoms like pain, tightness, and localized sensitivity. Many clients experience an improvement in range of motion, as well as relief from sensations such as tingling or numbness by encouraging better movement between the layers of skin, fascia, and muscle.
Beyond the physical benefits, this specialized care supports emotional recovery by helping clients reconnect with their bodies and regain confidence in their physical appearance.
Individuals can begin scar therapy as soon as the scar is fully closed, typically six to eight weeks post-surgery or injury, when there is no scabbing or weeping.
Furthermore, it is never too late to start; even mature, long-standing scars that are years old can benefit, with research showing that mature scars can significantly improve with this intervention.
Every scar is unique, so it’s difficult to predict exactly how many scar therapy treatments you’ll need to achieve your goals.
For most scars that are less than 12 months old, we recommend starting with 3 initial scar therapy sessions over a period of 6–8 weeks. This allows us to begin improving scar mobility, reduce adhesions, and support the healing process.
After your initial course of treatment, we’ll reassess your progress and discuss whether any additional sessions would be beneficial based on your individual needs and goals.
At CL Body Therapy, every treatment plan is tailored to you, ensuring you receive the right care for your scar and stage of healing.
No. Scar therapy cannot make a scar disappear completely, and you will always have a scar.
The aim of scar therapy is to improve the appearance, function, mobility and overall health of your scar. Treatment can help reduce tightness, improve movement, soften scar tissue, ease discomfort and improve altered sensation.
Many clients also find that as their scar becomes more comfortable and looks healthier, they feel more confident and positive about it too.
At CL Body Therapy, we focus on helping you achieve the best possible outcome for your scar, no matter how old it is.
No – it’s never too late to benefit from scar therapy.
Research shows that even scars that are 10 years old or more can still improve with treatment. While older scars may take a little longer to respond than newer scars (typically those under 18 months old), meaningful changes are still possible.
Scar therapy can help improve your scar’s appearance, mobility, flexibility, sensation, and any discomfort, helping you feel more comfortable and confident in your body.
