C-Section Scar Silicone Strips

Silicone can be used for improving the appearance and textures of scars, and is often recommended by healthcare professionals. and labelled as the ‘gold standard’ of scar treatment. You can use these silicone strips once your practitioner gives you the okay to apply topical products to your c-section skin - this is usually at your six-week check up.

These silicone strips create a physical barrier between your fragile new skin and the world, while promoting moisture retention. This contributes to a smoother, softer, and less noticeable scar appearance.

We know that as your skin gradually recovers from stomach birth, it’s likely to feel sensitive, tender, and irritable (just like how many of us feel in the months that follow). Collagen thickens as part of the healing process, however, this tends to give scars a bumpy, raised look. It’s also possible that your scar has a different colour to the rest of your skin. While this is all totally normal and to be expected after a c-section delivery, we get that you might like to help your scar fade and flatten as much as possible.

- There are very few risks associated with applying silicone strips topically, as its non-invasive, safe to use while breastfeeding, and suitable for all skin types.

- The strip provides the slightest amount of pressure to your scar for enhanced protection and moisture retention.

- They can be worn all day every day, to continually minimise the appearance of your scar.

- They’re ultra-thin, flexible, durable, and soft, so you won’t notice you’re wearing it.
