Why Choose Our Scar Therapy?
- Qualified physiotherapist with over 10 years’ experience
- Trained by the ‘scar queen’ Hannah Poulton of HLP Therapy
- C-section, surgery, and oncology scars treated
- Advanced tech: Lymphatouch & Winback Hi-TENS – These specialist machines support scar recovery by reducing swelling, softening tight tissue, and improving circulation.
- The Lymphatouch – The negative pressure and mechanical vibration of the LymphaTouch® device can effectively soften fibrotic and scar tissue adhesions, improving tissue elasticity, flexibility and range of motion.
- LymphaTouch® treatment promotes oxygenation and lymphatic drainage of the treated area, contributing to healing. The LymphaTouch® offers an effective and comfortable way to treat both fresh and older scars.
Winback Hi-Tens TECAR (Transfer of Energy Capacitive and Resistive) therapy employs a high-frequency current to re-polarise the cellular membranes and stimulate the body’s self-healing process. This revolutionary approach is increasingly being used for scar tissue massage due to its remarkable therapeutic outcomes.
When tissues suffer an injury, the body’s natural polarity gets disturbed. TECAR therapy aims to restore this balance by increasing cellular metabolism, thereby accelerating the healing process.
Benefits of Winback Hi-Tens R-SHOCK for Scar Treatment
- Non-invasive and Comfortable: The treatment is non-invasive, making it suitable for various patients, including those with sensitive skin or chronic conditions.
