Caesarean section pre- and post-treatment
A caesarean section causes significant damage to abdominal tissue and, in particular, the fascia. It is worth preparing the skin tissue against stretch marks and conditioning the future scar area.
We recommend, in collaboration with leading surgeons:
BEFORE BIRTH: from 3rd month, no later than 7th month
For stretch marks: Premium Vitamin A, C, E Oil (much more potent than almond oil) or for those who prefer a cream DELTA RETINOL ONE.
For scar conditioning: DELTA Conditioning Balm
AFTER BIRTH: until the scar is stable.
Silicone patches depending on scar size, e.g. 2.5 x 30 cm
If the plaster is not in place, approx. 6h, use the scar cream each time. DELTA SCAR I
This day cream has been specially developed to prepare the skin for aesthetic treatment and improve its condition. It effectively promotes the skin’s natural healing process whilst reducing sensitivity and stimulating the production of key elements such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and other components of the skin matrix. Containing a powerful, retinol-like active ingredient, it delivers exceptional results without the irritation typically associated with retinoids. Key active ingredients (no other product offers this) Ectoin: Stimulates and accelerates the (over)expression of heat shock proteins. An anti-inflammatory agent. Enables rapid restoration of protein synthesis and the skin’s defence function. High water-binding capacity increases skin hydration. Better than any hyaluronic acid. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate: A probiotic-based ingredient that provides essential proteins and enzymes, supports the skin’s barrier function, improves cell cohesion and accelerates skin renewal. Boosts caspase production. Acetyltetrapeptid-2: Has been shown to activate the FBLN5 and LOXL1 promoters and also increases the levels of both proteins, as well as collagen and elastin. The peptide improves skin laxity and disorganisation. Methylglucosidphosphat und Kupferlysinat / Prolinat: Collagen I and III, as well as tropoelastin and elastin, are boosted within 11 days. This improves the skin’s collagen density and anisotropy index. Methylenblau: Stimulates skin fibroblast proliferation, delays cellular ageing, improves skin vitality, promotes skin wound healing, increases skin moisture and skin thickness. Süssholz-Extrakt und Koffein und Zinkgluconat und Extrakt aus Rosskastanienkernen: Provides the skin with soothing and anti-irritant properties (tested against surfactants / AHAs and capsaicin). Reduces neurogenic inflammation and erythema. Liposomales Carnosin und Silymarin und Tocopherol: Inhibits oxidative stress, which has been clinically shown to reduce glycation. Protects protein function and enhances elasticity. Swertia Chirata-Extrakt: This extract has been shown to induce a strong production of growth factors from stem cells derived from fat cells. It promotes keratinocyte proliferation, leading to a thicker epidermis with a greater number of keratinocyte layers, which ultimately results in a resurfacing effect. Acetylhexapeptid-51-Amid: Mimics the activity of FOXO3a (a member of the Forkhead-box transcription factors), which is involved in cell repair, renewal and longevity. Protects DNA and stimulates the body’s natural DNA repair pathways. Bakuchiol:Reduces skin roughness and redness. Stimulates collagen types I, III and IV. Bakuchiol regulates many genes involved in the production and maintenance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and the dermo-epidermal junction (DEJ) by enhancing collagen IV and XVII, laminin, integrins, dystroglycan and E-cadherin. It also downregulates pro-inflammatory gene expression and enzymes such as MMP-1 and MMP-12. N-Acetylglucosamin-6-Phosphat: Stimulation of GAG production in the papillary dermis after six days. Reorganisation and strengthening of the dermal-epidermal junction after ten days. Facilitation of cell communication, stimulation of fibroblast division. Eingekapselte NAD+ Fragmente: Increase NAD+ levels in cells and catalyze the expression of sirtuins (longevity genes). NAD+ has been found to have a crucial influence on vital processes, including gene expression, the cell cycle, insulin secretion, DNA repair, apoptosis and ageing. So good, it also serves as treatment preparation; ideally used at least 10 days before the procedure! cosmeticanalysis.com Rating = GOOD

Scar I is used after wound closure and is supposed to improve skin renewal in the inflammatory phase. Scar I promotes normal epithelialization, decreases sensitivity and improves skin discoloration.This scar treatment aims to promote normal epithelialization immediately after wound closure by addressing the inflammatory phase. The formulation's ingredients work synergistically to reduce the duration of the inflammatory phase, which can remain uncontrolled and lead to false collagen deposition and scarring. In addition, skin renewal and regular collagen synthesis are enhanced by peptides that promote proper organization of collagen fibers and healthier DEJ. Finally, discoloration and pigmentation as well as possible erythema after wound closure are addressed. active ingredients Tripeptide-10-Citrulline: This matricin peptide promotes the proper organization of collagen fibers, which is essential immediately after wound closure to prevent scarring.Lactococcus ferment lysate: improves the quality and growth speed of the epidermis, improves barrier function and promotes normal epithelialization.Tetrapeptide-30 (PKEK): Helps minimize the prolonged inflammatory response characteristic of scar tissue formation while reducing pigmentation.Caprooyl Tetrapeptide-3: Stimulates the production of essential DEJ components to promote normal epithelialization and maturation of granulation tissue.Palmitoylpentapeptide-4: This peptide is known to provide supportive elements to the extracellular matrix and promote wound healing.Hexapeptide-8 and Pentapeptide-18: Proven effectiveness in hydrating the skin and improving firmness, which may help with wound contraction during the healing process.Rosehip Oil: This oil promotes natural skin pigmentation, treats erythema and prevents discoloration.Red Clover Extract and Acetyl-3 Tetrapeptide: This combinatorial agent stimulates hair follicle regeneration and growth after wound closure.Copper Tripeptide: Used in wounds or inflammations to promote healing.Vitamin E: Essential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits in the early stages of wound closure.Encapsulated NAD+ Fragments: Increases intracellular NAD+ for tissue health and regeneration.Silicon: Silicone dressings and creams are known for the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars and for wound healing.applicationApply twice daily or as often as needed. Make sure the wound is healed before using this product. Cover with tape if necessary.

Information leaflet on scar care Dear patients and relatives If you cut yourself or undergo surgery, it takes a while for the wound to heal and a scar to form. Depending on the cause of the scar and the initial treatment, visible scar tissue develops. It can take up to two years for the skin to return to a reasonably normal state. In the case of burn scars, initial treatment plays a crucial role. Immediate, moderate cooling and the provision of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene optimise the chances of minimising scar tissue. Third-degree burns are also particularly dangerous because excessive fluid intake can be life-threatening. With every scar, the skin attempts to heal itself and begins to lose excessive amounts of water. The more water is lost, the more excess collagen is produced. If too much collagen is formed, this causes raised scars or hypertrophic scars, as the collagen attempts to thicken this part of the skin to reduce water loss. If the scar is not treated at all, a keloid scar may form. If you have suffered from acne, many small scars often remain. These can be improved in all cases once the inflamed skin has calmed down. Scars never disappear completely, but optimising them is important not only for aesthetic reasons but also for medical ones. Although the focus of surgery is on closing the scars, optimal pre- and post-operative care makes all the difference here too.We’ll show you how scars, regardless of their origin or age, can be improved. We’ll even show you how to prepare for planned scar areas.We also give experts a chance to have their say. Kind regardsDaniel Staeger and teamcareconcept General agents
