How do silicone scar sheets work?
Silicone scar sheets create a protective barrier over the scar. It helps retain moisture, reduce he build-up of scar tissue, and ease discomfort like itching or tightness.
Scarban C-Section is specifically designed and shaped to support the healing of C-section scars. Do you want to know why it’s trusted by mums and recommended by specialists in the UK? Read on to find out how scar formation works and how Scarban C-Section supports your scar’s recovery.
Understanding scar formation
Why does a C-section cause scarring?
A Caesarean section is a major surgical procedure and after C-section surgery, there will always be a scar. A cut about 10 to 20cm long will usually be made across your lower tummy and womb, so your baby can be delivered.
After the surgery, your body responds by producing scar tissue to close the wound. Ideally, the C-section scar adopts almost the same colour and suppleness of the surrounding skin, with only a thin white line remaining.
What makes some scars worse than others?
There is always a risk scar complaints could worsen during the healing process. The scar may become thicker, red and less elastic than healthy skin. An abnormal scar develops with 50% of surgical scars becoming hypertrophic (raised, red) or keloid (overgrown, bumpy) scars. This may cause discomfort: itching, and reduced flexibility.
How silicone scar sheets support the healing process of your C-section scar
Scarban C-Section silicone sheets work through a simple yet effective mechanism:
Reduces moisture loss
Damaged skin loses more moisture than healthy skin. Scarban creates a layer that regulates hydration and prevents excessive moisture loss.
Prevents excessive scar tissue production
When moisture loss is controlled, the body stops its ‘panic’ response of overproducing scar tissue, helping the scar to heal in a flatter, more flexible way.
Relieves discomfort
Many people experience itching, tightness, or pain with scars. Scarban has been clinically proven to reduce these symptoms, making the healing process more comfortable.
Protects from UV damage
Scarban C-Section provides UPF 50 UV protection, preventing permanent discolouration caused by sun exposure.
