🌱This stunning patient came in with specific issues for Tiana to work on:
- skin laxity/droopiness
- the under chin area
She was worried that she would develop a double chin, and wanted to know if we could do something about it.
🌱What do you think? 🤔🙃

🌱What is scar tissue?
Scar tissue forms in response to injury. Injury is anything which creates dysfunction in the body. We think of this as broken bones, but more often are things like allergies, toxin build up, a minor issue in a joint which never really goes away. The small pains which affect us daily can potentially create long-lasting scar tissue, or fibrosis.
🌱Scar tissue and fibrosis formation is a normal part of life, but they can be reduced to make life much less irritating.
🌱Why does this matter?
Scar tissue puts a stop to movement. And in living organisms, movement is life. Lack of movement causes pain, dysfunction, and destruction.
This can look like allergies, chronic pain, chronic physical, mental, and degenerative disease, and slow healing.
🌱Think about it this way - if your lungs don’t move, you won’t be able to inhale or exhale very well
If your intestines don’t move, you might notice food sensitivity, constipation, or diarrhea
If your joints don’t move as they’re supposed to, you’ll be in constant, chronic pain
🌱Age, injury, disease, and different body structures can all create situations where movement is more difficult. So how can you tell if your pain is due to scar tissue/fibrosis or if this is just how it’s going to be? Ask yourself:
- What makes the pain feel better? If it’s warmth, ice, or massage, or acupuncture, or movement (after the warm up), you most likely have scar tissue causing you pain. Scar tissue is largely reversible, and your pain is optional.
🌱How do I treat scar tissue?
First learn how to identify it! Scar tissue isn't always what we think it is. A fibrosis or scar tissue professional can guide you through how scar tissue shows up in your own body, and how to do basic home treatments.

This is the stunning work of 3 sessions of our Facial Restoration treatment, as performed by Tiana .tiana. These results ARE typical of the treatment, and Tiana brings new ideas and experience to an already dramatic session.
This treatment is 100 minutes of body work, fibrosis reduction, cosmetic and systemic acupuncture, and deep plane intraoral massage.
Tiana is available on Tuesdays during our Apprentice clinic until May, when their rates will change.
Please DM for details.
🌱Note - it looks like the profile shot is very different in size but it actually shows an accurate reduction in swelling! You can see the ears are the same size in both pictures.
