After-pregnancy Treatments – Nowa Estetyka Medical Center in Wrocław
You’ve just become a mom, but your blissful days of motherhood are interrupted by discomfort – you don’t feel good in your own skin? Stretch marks, loose abdominal skin after a natural birth, or postpartum scars after a cesarean section – come to us, and we’ll help you get rid of them. Many aesthetic medicine treatments can also be performed while breastfeeding.
Eliminating Stretch Marks
A growing belly, while bringing joy in anticipation of your baby’s arrival, may lead to concerns after the birth. One of these concerns is stretch marks caused by the significant stretching of our delicate skin. To reduce them, we need to understand the cause of their formation.
Pregnancy forces our body through many sudden changes. Much must be sacrificed to make room for our baby – organs slowly shift upward, and the skin on the abdomen stretches to its limits. These sudden changes have consequences – collagen and elastin, fibers that are the main components of the skin’s connective tissue, are torn. Their natural production is insufficient to replenish the loss, leading to the appearance of reddish streaks – stretch marks. Over time, the color of stretch marks lightens, making them more visible against the skin.

How to Get Rid of Stretch Marks and C-Section Scars?
To restore your skin’s previous appearance and remove stretch marks after pregnancy, it’s essential to nourish it properly. The skin in the areas affected by stretch marks lacks epidermal appendages (sweat glands, sebaceous glands, hair follicles), contains fewer desirable connective tissue fibers, and has poorer blood circulation. To visibly improve the skin’s condition, we offer the following treatments:
- Carboxytherapy
- Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
- CO2 Fractional Laser
- Ultrasound Liposuction – removal of excess fat and cellulite
Carboxytherapy
Carboxytherapy uses carbon dioxide to simulate tissue hypoxia. The body responds by increasing oxygen supply, resulting in the dilation of existing blood vessels and the creation of new capillary networks. Blood carries not only oxygen but also nutrients to skin cells, including melanocytes (pigment cells) and fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis. Enhanced nourishment of melanocytes evens out skin tone, while increased collagen and elastin production firms the skin after pregnancy.
A series of 6 to 12 treatments with regular breaks is recommended for carboxytherapy. Carboxytherapy is also effective for removing C-section scars and firming stretched skin due to pregnancy. We also offer stretch mark removal on the breasts, caused by breastfeeding.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP)
The secret to youthful skin lies within our own blood – platelet-rich plasma (PRP).
The thrombocytes (platelets) in our blood contain powerful cell activators that are among the strongest stimulants in our body. When injected, they immediately trigger a cascade of reactions, leading to increased cell proliferation, enlargement, the formation of new blood vessels, and increased collagen synthesis by fibroblasts. As a result, patients can expect:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Restored skin firmness and elasticity
- Denser, more taut skin

CO2 Fractional Laser for the Abdomen
Laser technology is a widely used and proven method for skin rejuvenation in aesthetic medicine. Even the first treatment provides noticeable and long-lasting results.
The treatment is based on the phenomenon of photothermolysis, which involves converting light energy into heat energy, heating the deep layers of the skin and stimulating tissue renewal. During the treatment, only a small portion of the skin is affected – from 20 to 30%, significantly shortening recovery time and minimizing the risk of complications.
The fractional laser is ideal for smoothing the skin’s texture and restoring an even tone. It’s an optimal choice for removing C-section scars or other incision scars in the perineal area, and for eliminating stretch marks on the abdomen and décolletage.

Mesotherapy
Microneedle mesotherapy is a well-known and effective method for skin rejuvenation. It is used for treating facial wrinkles and the décolletage area, firming the skin, and restoring its hydration. The method involves injecting a nourishing cocktail under the skin, stimulating cells to produce more collagen and elastin, making the skin firm and elastic again.
The nourishing cocktail, composed of vitamins and nutrients, is administered using micro-needles, making the injections painless and leaving no visible marks.

Removal of C-Section Scars
An unsightly C-section scar can be a significant concern. Sometimes the scar differs noticeably in color from the surrounding skin. To even out this unappealing difference, we recommend a treatment using microneedle mesotherapy.
The treatment is straightforward and brings many benefits. A device with micro-needles punctures the scar tissue, causing slight damage that triggers the skin’s self-healing process. Growth factors released by platelets stimulate cell proliferation, and new blood vessels grow in the treated area. The increased nutrient supply improves the skin’s condition and the melanocytes within it. Melanocytes produce pigment, which helps even out skin tone and restore its texture to its pre-pregnancy state.
An important aspect of microneedle mesotherapy is the ability to apply a nourishing cocktail to the treated areas through the device’s head, making it more effective than standard mesotherapy with a nourishing cocktail.
There are several effective treatments for reducing C-section scars and perineal incisions:
- CO2 Fractional Laser
- Microneedle Mesotherapy
- Carboxytherapy
Post-Pregnancy Aesthetic Gynecology
Vaginal Tightening and Lifting – Gynecological Threads
For patients seeking vaginal rejuvenation, we offer a minimally invasive gynecological thread treatment. Lifting threads are used for both cosmetic and functional concerns related to an enlarged vaginal entrance. This condition is most commonly caused by natural childbirth, though it can also result from other factors such as previous surgical procedures in the perineal area.
Vaginal lifting not only offers benefits in the sexual sphere but also improves health. Patients who experience irritation in the vulvar area and infections can expect a significant improvement in their quality of life, as post-pregnancy vaginoplasty reduces excessive vaginal discharge that irritates the perineal area.
Laser Vaginal Tightening After Pregnancy
The condition of the vagina, like any organ, may deteriorate with age. Childbirth is the primary cause of this issue. An enlarged vaginal entrance leads to various problems – frequent infections and irritation of the vulva. Given the high invasiveness of surgical procedures to tighten the vagina, we offer a safe laser treatment option.
