C-section surgery is a deeply intimate, personal, and impactful experience. It shifts:
- Our sense of self
- How we feel in and how we relate to our body
- How we are able to connect with our baby, our partner, and ourselves
- How well and how comfortably our body moves
- How our pelvic tissue feels and function
- Our digestive, urinary, and reproductive health
- Our physical appearance, and how comfortable and confident we are in our skin
The RISE Recovery + Radiance Program:
Our Most Powerful Protocol for Deep Healing and Your Post-C-Section Glow Up
This is Mind-Body-Spirit Healing, to address the emotional, mechanical, hormonal, and aesthetic impacts that mark the C-section recovery period, helping you come home to your most integrated postpartum self.
Our Recovery and Radiance Program is for women who want:
- Deep, transformative post c-section healing
- Improved sensation and less pain and pulling at their scar
- Cutting-edge aesthetic support that doesn’t require MORE surgery
- To restore hormonal balance, energy, mood, and menstrual cycles post-birth
- A container that helsp them integrate their birth story and release emotional imprints that are keeping them ruminating about, avoiding, or mourning their birth experience
If you’re looking for deep physical healing, restored confidence, emotional peace, and to feel at home in your body again this program is for you.
The Recovery and Radiance Program Includes:
- 5 Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) sessions (2+ weeks out from surgery). This therapy is one of the most effective tools for accelerating surgical wound healing and improving your recovery time. We recommend HBOT as soon as 2 weeks after your surgery to fast track pelvic healing, improve circulation, and help your scar form optimally.
- Prescription Peptide Scar Cream (to start 2 weeks out). We harness the healing power of peptides such as GHK-Cu and Glutathione to restore skin integrity and prevent thickening, darkening, or puckering of your healing scar
- 6 Scar Injection Therapy Treatments (8+ weeks out from surgery)
- To release fascial adhesions – those strands of connective tissue that form as your scar heals and can bind your tissues together, leading to numbness, pulling, pain and dysfunction
- AND to release trapped emotions that were store deep in these tissues from unprocessed fear, disappointment, pain, and birth trauma that occurred during your c-section
- Comprehensive functional lab work testing to get a complete picture of your postpartum hormone and nutrient levels, so that we can support postpartum mood and energy, address postpartum menstrual period changes, assess nutrient status, and restore optimal hormonal balance
- 6 Customized Vitamin injections (as soon as 8 weeks out) to restore nutrients that were depleted during pregnancy and the surgical healing process, improve mood and energy, and support tissue healing from the inside out.
- 3 XERF Skin Tightening and Scar Revision sessions (12 weeks out) to tighten the skin at the abdomen, reduce “shelfing” above or below the scar, and improve stretch mark appearance. This cutting edge new aesthetic technology from South Korea uses safe, painless Radio-frequency waves to restore skin tone and tension at the structural scaffolding level of the skin to restore skin tone and integrity and reduce excess skin and skin laxity.
- 3 Microneedling with Platelet Derived Growth Factors (PDGF) – to fade your c-section scar, further support skin tightening at the skin surface, and reduce stretch mark appearance.

FAQs
What is C-Section Scar Therapy?
- Dr. Storm uses a 5% dextrose solution, often in combination with vitamins like B12, B6, B-complex, and/or lidocaine, to “unhook” threads of scar tissue that have become anchored to structures underneath the skin. C-Section Scar Therapy enables more motion and reduces pain.
How does it help?
- C-Section Scar Therapy works by “undoing” the tendrils of scar tissue deep to the skin’s surface. Once these tendrils are disengaged, the body has the opportunity to fully heal from surgery and injury.
Why C-Section Scar Therapy?
- C-Section Scar Therapy is an effective treatment because it works from the inside out — unlike massage, chiropractic, and PT. Dr. Storm is able to very precisely isolate the area of scar tissue and release it in moments, untying it at the source.
Is C-Section Scar Therapy for me?
- If you have ever had a cut or incision that left a scar and still have pain, restricted range of motion, or “just haven’t felt the same” since the injury or operation, C-Section Scar Therapy is an effective treatment for lasting relief.
When do I come in?
- C-Section Scar Therapy Therapy can safely be used within 4–6 weeks of surgery. It will decrease pain and speed healing, and get you on the road to a faster and more complete recovery. C-section scar therapy can also be used decades after a c-section scar to restart the healing cycle and resolve underlying symptoms caused by scar tissue and adhesions.

“When I was 8 years old I had bladder surgery to correct an abnormality that was causing frequent urinary tract infections and occasionally even kidney infections. The surgery was very painful and recovery took a very long time. My mom tells me I used to cry myself to sleep while I was healing. Flash forward into my adult years and I was still having urinary tract infections, about 2 times a month, often after having sex, even using excellent hygiene practices. I was taking antibiotics for each infection, who gave me horrible stomach pains and digestive issues. I started to see a functional medicine practitioner to help with my digestion, and when he found out about my surgery and the scar over my bladder, he recommended I see Dr. Storm. I was extremely nervous about needles, but in just 2 treatments I was no longer having UTIs! It’s 4 months since my last treatment, and this is the first time in my life that I can remember not having pelvic pain or pain after sex. Also, no more antibiotics! This was such a game changer and I cannot recommend scar therapy enough!”
