Cesarean Scar Treatment

Diagnosis:

If the breast scars are flat and discolored only our scar cream is required. If scarring is raised and/or indented silicone sheeting is required. For maximum results we recommend our discounted scar kits that combine silicone sheeting and scar cream for the treatment of the scarring.

Pro's and Con's of adhesive silicone sheeting:

Pro's - self adhesive silicone sheeting is kept in place over the scar without the use of medical tape.

Con's - sheeting may require taping if your treatment time is extended. Stickiness is also affected by the oiliness of your skin. Can be less effective as adhesive can clog pores in sheets and disks over extended treatment time.

General Information:

A clinically proven, non-invasive scar treatment can help heal and often prevent the formation of permanent scar tissue resulting from cesarean section operations and other procedures. A combined approach that may accelerate the healing process for cesarean section patients involves the used of ReJuveness c-section silicone sheeting and Hyper Heal cream. The scar cream is applied to the site of the caesarean section incision immediately after sutures have been removed and redness or itching symptoms begin to occur. The use of the Hyper Heal cream helps restore the skin affected by the caesarean section to a softer, smoother, and flatter texture, as well as achieving a more normal skin color. When used in combination with ReJuveness c-section silicone sheeting, the results and benefits to the caesarean section area can be even more dramatic. A best case scenario for using the Hyper Heal cream, especially in conjunction with the ReJuveness c-section silicone sheeting, is that, in many instances, a near scarless appearance is evident at the site of the caesarean section incision. It's a proven method to reduce scarring, whether the caesarean section incision is vertical or horizontal. The silicone sheets used to treat caesarean section scars are made of USP medical grade six silicone and are considered an FDA Class-1 medical device. Although the caesarean section silicone sheets are sized specifically for c-section wounds, they can easily be cut to adjust for comfort and fit. One of the two sizes in which the caesarean section sheets are available will most likely be suitable for your needs. The dimensions of the caesarean section silicone sheets are 2.5 cm x 15 cm. A 4 cm x 15 cm size is also available for caesarean section incision areas that require more coverage.

For more than 20 years, it has been standard practice for doctors to use a low, side-to-side (transverse) incision across the uterus for a cesarean delivery. However, a vertical type of incision is sometimes necessary, such as for some emergency cesarean deliveries. ReJuveness scar treatment is a proven method to reduce scarring from all types of cesarean incisions.
