C-Section Scar Revision
Understanding Caesarian Section Scars From Childbirth
Abdominal scars, particularly those from C-sections, can vary significantly in their appearance and impact. Here are the types of scars we frequently address:
1) C-Section Scars
C-Section scars are a common concern for many women post-delivery. These horizontal or vertical scars can sometimes heal unevenly, leading to raised or sunken areas that might cause discomfort or self-consciousness.
2) Abdominal Surgical Scars
These scars result from various surgical procedures in the abdominal area, including appendectomies or hernia repairs. Depending on the surgery and individual healing process, these scars can vary in size and texture.
3) Hypertrophic Scars
These are raised, red scars that remain within the boundaries of the original incision. Often resulting from an overproduction of collagen, they can be particularly noticeable and bothersome on the abdomen.
4) Atrophic Scars
These are sunken or pitted scars caused by a loss of tissue, which can occur after certain surgeries or due to complications in the healing process. They often create a crater-like appearance on the skin.
Our Comprehensive Non-Surgical Treatment Options
At HPI Scar Revision, we offer a variety of advanced, non-invasive treatments tailored to your specific scar type. Our expert clinicians have extensive experience in scar removal and will create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs. Our treatment options include:
- Chemical Peels: A chemical solution is applied to your skin to exfoliate the upper layers. Chemical peels are ideal for mild scars, usually on the face & neck.
- Dermaplaning: A special razor is used to shave away the upper layers of your skin, improving the appearance of acne scars.
- Microneedling: A device creates microscopic punctures in your skin, encouraging collagen production and remodeling to improve scar appearance.
- Exosome Therapy: During the microneedling process, smart growth factors rejuvenate the skin by harnessing regenerative properties. This natural treatment accelerates the healing process and maximizes results, promoting healthier, revitalized skin.
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP): Using your body’s own blood platelets, PRP injections can enhance the healing process naturally to improve the appearance of scars.
