Any surgery, whether minor or major, can lead to the formation of adhesions and scar tissue, both internal and external. These can result in pain, tightness, postural imbalances, and other discomforts.

I specialise in improving the appearance, mobility, and sensitivity of scars through a variety of effective treatments. I work with patients who have undergone cosmetic surgery, as well as those who have had surgical procedures as part of their cancer treatment journey.

My approach combines a range of therapeutic modalities, including soft tissue massage, myofascial release, lymphatic drainage, acupuncture, vacuum therapy (LymphaTouch®), kinesiotaping, and targeted exercises to help restore function and comfort.

For patients who are looking for more advanced scar and stretch mark reduction, I offer an exciting treatment - MCA Dry Tattooing. MCA Dry Tattooing (Multitrepannic Collagen Actuation) is a specialised non-pigment tattooing technique used to improve the appearance of scars and stretch marks. By gently stimulating the skin with fine needles (without the use of ink) this method triggers the body’s natural healing response, promoting collagen and elastin production in the treated area. Over time, this helps to smooth, soften, and blend scars and stretch marks with the surrounding skin, making them less visible. It’s a safe, effective option for those seeking natural-looking skin restoration.
