LED LIGHT THERAPY AND MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

SCAR SCRAPING AND SKIN ROLLING
Scar scraping is a gentle, instrument-assisted technique (similar to gua sha or Graston) used only after incisions are fully healed. It helps improve circulation, reduce adhesions, and support healthy collagen remodeling.
Skin rolling lifts and mobilizes the skin and fascia. After top surgery, it helps restore glide between tissue layers, reducing tightness and improving chest and shoulder mobility.We don’t erase scars. We help them move with you.
We are currently unable to take insurance for our services, but are making plans to change that within the year. If you’d like to be notified when insurance options are available, please join our newsletter.
