C-SECTION SCAR CARE
Because every scar deserves care
We recommend medical grade silicone sheets and gel - scientifically proven to reduce scars - alongside our Mothership postnatal programme for optimal recovery after C-Section.
Recovering from birth — whether via caesarean or perineal trauma — doesn’t just end when the scar closes. A scar isn’t only a cosmetic detail: tight, raised or adhered scars can impact how your core, pelvic floor and abdominal wall function — which in turn affects posture, movement, bladder function, and how your body responds to exercise and everyday life.
That’s why the best results come from combining thoughtful rehab and evidence-based scar care.
When to start: Only begin once the incision is fully healed — when stitches or staples have gone, scabs are gone, the skin is dry and there’s no redness, drainage or tenderness. This may be around 2–4 weeks post-C-section (or at your postnatal check-up), depending on individual healing.
Wear schedule: For best results, aim for a minimum of 12 hours per day, gradually working up to 20–23 hours if comfortable. Consistent daily wear — alongside our gentle Mothership exercises — gives the best chance of softer, flatter scars.
Massage: Massage the C -section scar with ALHYDRAN gel. The powerful moisture-regulating cream ensures optimal hydration, promotes healing of the skin and relieves skin complaints such as itching, dry skin and redness. We have a video inside The Mothership, showing you how to do this.
Maintenance: Use medical-grade silicone (as we offer), keep skin clean and dry before applying, and wash the silicone sheet regularly with mild soap. Rotate pieces if reusing, and replace when adhesive starts to wear or irritation occurs.
Rehab + scar care together: As you work through our Postnatal Programme’s exercises — breathwork, pelvic floor, core, mobility — the reduced tension and improved tissue quality from silicone help you move with less restriction, and progress more comfortably.
How to use silicone scar care alongside your rehab?
Your best recovery: Guided rehab + evidence-based scar care
We believe that postpartum recovery is more than just muscle retraining — it’s about restoring comfort, function, and confidence in your body.
By adding our Silicone Scar Kit to the healing work you’re doing with the Mothership Programme, you get:
A scar that’s more comfortable, less reactive, and less restrictive
A smoother path towards restoring core strength, pelvic floor function and abdominal integrity
Long-term benefits: improved scar quality, better tissue mobility — even years after birth.
Why pair your Postnatal Programme with silicone scar therapy?
Silicone scar strips and gel bring benefits that dovetail perfectly with the strengthening, mobility and breathwork in your programme:
Soften and flatten scars — Silicone helps scars become smoother and less raised. This reduces tension around the abdomen, which helps your core and pelvic floor engage more effectively.
Improve tissue mobility & reduce discomfort — As scar tissue becomes more pliable, there’s less pulling or tightness when you roll, lift or move — making rehab exercises more comfortable and effective.
Support long-term scar health — Regular silicone therapy helps reduce redness, pigmentation and sensitivity — promoting a scar that’s less noticeable and more comfortable over time.
Complement your body’s natural healing — While your online programme helps retrain muscles, improve posture, and regain function, silicone helps the skin and underlying tissues heal and integrate more smoothly.
