Scar Massage London

Non-invasive scar massage therapy, clinically proven to help decrease scar sensitivity and improve mobility & visual appearance of scar tissue.

Pain-free treatment for scar tissue 

ScarWork™ is a painless scar massage therapy developed in the US by Sharon Wheeler. It uses gentle, light touch to bring about permanent improvement to the scar area.

 

Improvements are permanent and are usually achieved in just 5-6 sessions.

Scar therapy for women

Scars can be painful, itchy, tight and sensitive, but they don't have to stay that way. ScarWork™ Therapy can be used on a range of scars including:

  • Post-surgery scarring
  • C-Section scar
  • Injury scar tissue
  • Old and new scar tissue

I can also advise on scar creams and at-home scar care.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does scar treatment cost?

The minimum recommended block of 6 scar therapy massage treatments costs £420 with Rebalance Massage.

You will find that Scar therapy massage treatments range in cost depending on the provider but it is certainly more cost-effective than more invasive cosmetic treatments for scars that can run upwards of £3000 

You'll need a minimum of 6 sessions to see the best results and scar therapy sessions cost £70 each, discounts are available for block bookings.

Your therapist may also recommend specialist scar creams and dressings to improve the visual appearance of your scar. Scar creams and gels can range in price, but good creams can be found for around £20.

Specialist scar dressings tend to be more expensive, expect to pay upwards of £50-£100 

Does anything actually help scars?

There are several treatments that are clinically proven to help scars.

Depending on the age, severity and location of your scar, some may be more effective than others.

Depending on the age and location of your scar, a combination of Scar therapies may be recommended including barrier creams, silicon patches, compression dressings and massage.

If you have a fresh wound I recommend seeking advice on your scar from a professional trained in Scar Work or Scar Therapy. Feel free to contact me via the WhatsApp button on this site to discuss.

What kind of massage breaks up scar tissue?

Scar therapy uses specific massage techniques to gently reduce scar sensitivity and permanently remove adhesions under the scar that can cause tightness, pain and reduce your range of movement.

Whilst it does not 'break up' scar tissue, it can greatly reduce any discomfort that you feel and can also improve the appearance of scar tissue.

Scar therapy is a specialist treatment carried out by trained individuals. Always check that your therapist is specifically trained in Scar therapy.

Where's the clinical evidence for Scar therapy?

Research was published in the European Journal of Integrative Medicine in 2021 supporting the use of Scar therapy for cancer survivors experiencing adverse effects of surgery and radiotherapy.

How soon can I have Scar Therapy massage?

You will need to wait at least 6 weeks before treatment for new scars and adhesions, for deep or abdominal/visceral scars, you will need to wait much longer.

You'll also need consent from your surgeon or doctor before starting any scar massage treatment.

However, scar care and prevention is incredibly important, feel free to reach out straight away for advice on minimising scarring through the healing process. 

For instance, It is strongly recommended to hydrate your wound once it has scabbed with a suitable scar cream, I can offer you advice on clinically proven and recommended creams and gels.
