Once your C-section wound has fully closed, the scar can feel tight, raised or itchy. These clear silicone sheets sit over the scar to keep it hydrated and protected from rubbing on waistbands, which helps it soften and flatten.
They're thin and flexible, so they sit discreetly under clothes. You start with a few hours a day and build up to wearing them around the clock.
Each sheet can be washed and reused for up to two weeks. For a new scar, ScarGone suggests using them for at least eight weeks.
