An Introduction to Scarban C-Section

Research has shown that after an operation, there is a 50% chance that a scar will become hypertrophic (an abnormal scar formation response to injury/surgery). In this blog, we're going to be giving you an introduction to Scarban C-Section and its benefits.

Damaged skin loses moisture more quickly. Silicone helps to hydrate the scar area and reduce the production of collagen, creating a healthy environment for the wound to heal. This helps prevent the scar from becoming hypertrophic or keloid, making it flatter, softer and paler. It can also help prevent excess damage to the wound and can also easily be used in conjunction with other therapies such as scar massage.

There are a couple of challenges associated with C-Section Scars:

1. Appearance: C-section scars can vary in size and appearance. Some may be fine and barely noticeable, while others can be more prominent and raised.
2. Discomfort: C-section scars may cause itching, tenderness, and pain, especially during the healing process.

What makes Scarban different?

The effectiveness of silicone and Scarban has been clinically proven. This makes silicone therapy one of the few, clinically proven methods for the effective reduction of both abnormal scar formation and existing scars. Not surprisingly, silicone therapy is mentioned as the preferred non-invasive therapy in all current international Scar Management guidelines.

Additionally, Scarban offers a very high UV protection (UPF50). The international Scar Management guidelines are very clear: damaged skin must be kept out of the sun. When exposed to the sun, your scar is at risk of sunburn and permanent discolouration. We advise you to avoid sun exposure to your scar. However, on the occasion that your scar is exposed, be assured that Scarban provides adequate protection.

Scarban is also washable and reusable! Included in our Recovery Kit is a washing solution allowing you to not only keep your Scarban silicone sheet nice and clean but it can also be washed daily to maintain adhesive strength. As new mothers embark on their postpartum journey, Scarban offers a valuable tool to help them feel more comfortable and confident in their skin.
