FAQs ON Scar treatments
​

Will this work make my scar disappear?

​

What if my scar is years old, does Scar treatment still work?

How long should I wait before treating my scar?

Can it be used on scars with screws, plates or implants?

Yes, Scar treatment can be used on scars that have plates, pins, screws and rods. It can also be used on the scar from breast implant surgery as the technique is not used directly over the implant.

 

What if I have a strong emotional connection linked to my scar?

Every scar is caused by some kind of trauma. Some scars may have been acquired in distressing circumstances or be associated with specific events or memories. In these situations, it is recommended that Scar treatment is the only therapy applied on that day.

Releasing the scar tissue can sometimes cause a rush of emotions, often in the form of tears, memory recall or laughing. This is part of the process of releasing your scar and even though it can be upsetting, it is a positive thing. You are in complete control of the session and can ask for treatment to stop at any time.

 

Are there any scars that cannot be treated with Scar treatment ?

Scars where surgical mesh has been used cannot be treated with McLoughin Scar Tissue Release Technique or ScarWork.
