Offering the Restore scar therapy method for all scars new and old.

Examples of scar tissue that we treat include facial scars, oral scars, surgical scars, caesarean and episiotomy scars, as well as post breast reconstruction and mastectomy scars. These scars can lead to various symptoms due to the formation of adhesions and changes in the surrounding tissue.
