Questions before you book.

Probably not. Scar tissue remains biologically responsive for many years. While older, more mature scars may require a different approach and longer treatment timelines, meaningful improvement is often still achievable.

This depends entirely on the scar — its age, depth, extent, and how your tissue responds. Most clients undertake a structured programme of multiple sessions. Every scar is different.

After your initial consultation, Holly will outline a structured treatment plan with realistic timelines. This is not a 'one-and-done' type of treatment, it is a carefully thought out process.

MCA (needling) involves some discomfort, varying by area and sensitivity. It feels like a scratchy toothbrush on the skin. PBM is entirely pain-free.

Cosmetic treatments focus primarily on appearance. Scar rehabilitation addresses how the tissue behaves — including tightness, restricted movement, sensitivity, and integration with surrounding tissue. At Cascade, we focus on meaningful clinical change, which may include both functional and visible improvement.

This depends on the type of surgery and your healing progress. Photobiomodulation can often be started within the first 1-2 weeks. We generally begin assessment once the wound is medically healed — but timing is always guided by clinical judgement and in consultation with your surgeon if needed.
