About Scar Therapy
Scars are part of our story—some we embrace, others we’d rather forget. No matter how you feel about them, one thing is certain: scars aren’t the same as your original skin. But the good news is, there are ways to help your scar heal as smoothly and comfortably as possible.
Different treatment options are available depending on the type, location, and age of your scar. Whether it’s from surgery, injury, or a C-section, the right approach can make a big difference in how your scar looks and feels.
What is the RESTORE Scar Therapy Method?
The RESTORE Scar Therapy Method is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to improve scar tissue, reduce discomfort, and restore movement. Developed by Emma Holly, one of the UK’s leading scar therapy specialists, this method is used within the NHS and top private healthcare clinics to support post-surgical and injury recovery.
How does it work?
Using a combination of:
- Specialist scar massage to improve circulation and flexibility
- Fascial release techniques to ease tightness and adhesions
- Therapy tools to promote healthy tissue healing
- Self-care advice so you can continue progress at home
Benefits of Scar Therapy
- Softens and improves scar tissue—both on the surface and in deeper layers
- Reduces common issues like pain, tightness, and sensitivity
- Supports functional and cosmetic recovery after surgery or injury
- Boosts circulation to promote healing and tissue repair
A course of treatment is usually recommended for best results, but even a single session—combined with the right self-care techniques—can make a difference.
When can I start scar therapy?
It depends on the type of scar. In most cases, you can start around six weeks after surgery or injury, once the wound is fully closed. Older scars can also benefit, so it’s never too late!
Does scar therapy hurt?
No, scar therapy should never be painful. The techniques are gentle, and we always work within your comfort level.
Will it completely remove my scar?
Scar therapy won’t erase your scar, but it can improve its appearance, soften tightness, and reduce discomfort—helping it blend better with surrounding skin.
Can it help with old scars?
Yes! Even scars that are years or decades old can benefit from treatment, especially if they are tight, painful, or affecting movement.
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on the size, age, and type of scar. Some people see improvement after just one session, while others benefit from a short course of treatments.
Can I do anything at home to help my scar?
Absolutely! We’ll provide self-care techniques such as massage, hydration tips, and movement advice to help maintain results between sessions.
Is this therapy suitable for C-section scars?
Yes! Scar therapy can be hugely beneficial for C-section scars—helping to reduce tightness, improve sensation, and restore core function.
