Scars after your C-Section

Giving birth through a caesarean section results in a scar forming, a procedure typically undertaken due to a planned or urgent medical need, prioritizing the health of either the mother or the child. Despite the mental and physical impacts of a caesarean section, it is crucial to remember that the main focus is on the well-being of both the mother and the newborn, making it a happy occasion for proud parents!

Mentally, you have to deal with a few things during a caesarean section, but it also leaves its mark physically. In addition to the intensive recovery, a scar remains. Fortunately, the scar doesn't have to be something 'big' and 'ugly'. Indeed, scar skin is often less supple in the beginning, but can recover well with the right care. Use Scarban C-Section silicone sheet to reduce scar complaints and reduce the risk of an abnormal scar.

Why does my scar feel like it's pulling?

Many women suffer from scar complaints after a caesarean section. You can see it through the redness of the skin around the scar. You feel it through itching and also through a 'pulling' sensation. This is partly because damaged skin is not very good at retaining moisture.

It takes about 3 weeks for the surgical wound to heal. After that, the scar will need another 3 to 6 months for recovery. The maturation of the scar can take up to 2 years. It's important to remember every woman's recovery is different.

How does Scarban C-Section help?

To take the best possible care of the scar, start using a Scarban C-Section immediately after wound closure (removal/dissolution of stitches). The medical silicone covers the fragile scar skin, which reduces moisture loss. As a result, the skin relaxes sooner and recovers faster.

The Scarban silicone sheet covers the scar skin and restores the moisture balance, so that:

• itching decreases
• redness disappears
• the scar 'pulls' less
• reduces moisture loss
• the scar becomes less visible.

Scarban C-Section is a special preformed sheet for a caesarean section. What makes Scarban unique is its composition and comfort:

• Scarban is made of 100% medical-grade silicone.
• The top has a textile coating, which feels extra comfortable and offers UV protection (SPF-50).
• The silicone sheet is washable and reusable, without loss of adhesion.
