Postnatal Scar Treatment
Discreet, doctor-led treatment for painful, tight or sensitive postnatal scars, including episiotomy and perineal tear scarring.
How can postnatal scars be treated?
Tight, painful or sensitive postnatal scars can often be improved with a combination of careful in-clinic treatments, including regenerative injections (PRP, polynucleotides) and selected medical therapies, alongside pelvic health input where indicated.
The aim is to soften tissue, reduce discomfort and restore comfort with intimacy and daily life.
