“After my 2nd c-section I was really keen to receive the best treatment possible for me post surgery – I heard about INDIBA from Rebecca when I was pregnant and was keen to try when my c-section felt wobbly and fluid filled in a way that it hadn’t the first time around. After the very first session I was blown away by the results and they exceeded anything I could imagine. Healing 2nd time round ended up being SO MUCH FASTER and LESS PAINFUlL than the first time round – I was truly amazed. I could feel and see results immediately, the results lasted and kept getting better after each session.”
Flora was an active and sporty mother and was knew that being able to resume sporting activities in the right timing was important to her. She wanted to give her body the best possible chance of optimally healing the scar tissues, particularly as this was her second c-section. She’d heard things can take longer to heal second time around – whereas this is the case for some women, the reverse was true for Flora, who came to me for 8 INDIBA sessions post c-section.

The Hidden Reality of C-Section Recovery
Whilst caesarean sections can be medically necessary or seen as a preferred option for some, the recovery process is super important and extends far beyond the initial healing period. The surgical incision affects multiple tissue layers, creating adhesions and scar tissue that can impact quality of life for years.
Common challenges following caesarean delivery include:
- Thick, raised, or keloid scarring
- Persistent numbness or hypersensitivity around the incision site
- Reduced abdominal mobility and core function
- Adhesions restricting organ movement
- Lower back/pelvic pain and postural compensation patterns
- Difficulty returning to exercise and normal activities
- Loss of confidence in body image and physical capability
- A visible ‘shelf’/overlap from tethering of the tissues (that is not just aesthetic but also functionally restricted)
Why Standard Scar Care Often Falls Short
Very few of the women I see in my practice have been given any information for scar management beyond keeping it clean and dry.
It is rare for women to be taught about how to optimise scar tissue healing yet there is so much that can be done to optimise healing and avoid the issues listed above.
Scar massage (starting very early on – video to follow) and silicon c-section tape are two useful strategies but for those who can get access to it then INDIBA radiofrequency therapy (hashtag TECAR) is top of the tree for optimal wound healing and comprehensive tissue restoration.
Understanding INDIBA Radiofrequency Treatment for C-Section Scars
INDIBA radiofrequency therapy (also known as TECAR therapy) represents a breakthrough in non-invasive scar treatment, using controlled radiofrequency energy to stimulate cellular repair and tissue regeneration at the deepest levels.
The non-thermal effects of INDIBA 448kHz frequency have profound effects on tissue healing and can be used from day 1 of surgery to speed up healing of tissues.
The science behind INDIBA for scar reduction:
- Increases cellular metabolism and oxygen delivery to damaged tissue
- Promotes healthy collagen remodelling and tissue elasticity
- Reduces acute and chronic inflammation and improves local circulation
- Accelerates natural healing processes
- Stimulates cellular regeneration for improved tissue quality
- And for older scars it breaks down restrictive adhesions between tissue layers
Clinical Evidence Supporting Radiofrequency/TECAR therapy
Scar Treatment research demonstrates that specific radiofrequency protocols can significantly improve scar appearance, texture, and functionality. The treatment creates controlled non thermal and later on thermal effects that trigger the body’s natural healing response whilst remaining gentle enough for sensitive post-surgical tissue.
Studies show measurable improvements in:
- Scar height and thickness reduction
- Tissue elasticity and mobility
- Pain and sensitivity levels
- Overall aesthetic appearance
- Functional movement capacity
Flora’s Journey: The miracle speed of healing!
When Flora first came to see me, her caesarean scar was very new and her abdomen was very fluid filled and she could literally feel it wobbling about. She hadn’t experienced this first time around and had a sense that INDIBA could help. She was also very numb around her lower abdomen as is extremely common post surgical incisions. The beauty of INDIBA is that it can be used immediately following surgery so its never too soon. This is because it can be used in a non thermal continuous modulation setting designed to reduce swelling and boost healing.
Below you can see the immediate results, after just one 30-minute session.
The INDIBA Treatment Experience: What Actually Happens
Each INDIBA treatment begins with a thorough assessment of your scar tissue, surrounding structures, and movement patterns. The radiofrequency applicator is then applied using specific protocols tailored to your individual needs. I can vary the heat applied (in acute scenarios no heat is applied) and we use the IAS scale to induce different physiological healing states into the tissues. It is extremely pleasant to receive sessions with INDIBA and results are always immediately palpable and visible.
Swelling reduces, scar tissue becomes more mobile and less pronounced, sensation returns very quickly, pain reduces, ‘shelves’ are avoided or minimised due to the optimal healing of the fascial layers. Results are both aesthetic and highly functional. I combine the scar tissue work with work on diastases recti and strengthening of abdominal muscles.
The flexibility of INDIBA is incredible and can be used for recent scars/surgery and old scars/ surgery, for muscle toning and strengthening and building up collagen along the linea alba and it can tighten skin over the top (a reason why this is popular with the beauty industry).
Real Results:
Measuring Success Beyond Appearance
Whilst aesthetic improvement is often the most immediately noticeable change, the functional benefits of INDIBA treatment extend far beyond visual enhancement:
- Restored sensation and reduced hypersensitivity
- Improved core muscle activation and strength
- Enhanced range of motion and flexibility
- Reduced compensatory movement patterns
- Increased confidence in physical activities
- Better postural alignment and reduced back pain
Who Benefits Most from C-Section Scar Treatment?
INDIBA radiofrequency treatment is suitable for most women with both brand new caesarean scars and old scars, regardless of how long ago the surgery took place. If you are lucky enough to hear about this treatment before your birth as Flora did then you can start with this mode of therapy before your 6 week checkup. But if not then its never too late to improve on the function of scar tissue. If you are prone to keloid scarring then I would recommend coming as soon as possible after your surgery to minimise the possibility of that occurring. I commonly treat women who come to me with pelvic girdle pain, hip pain or low back/pelvic pain after c-section and part of the issue is commonly scar tissue related and I will bring INDIBA into the treatment for those cases. It also works wonders for getting rid of numbness, feeling disconnected and weak and leads to very quick turnarounds.
Frequently Asked Questions About INDIBA C-Section Scar Treatment
How many sessions will I need to see results?
You will notice an improvement immediately after the first session and each subsequent session – that’s one of the great things about it. The number of sessions therefore depends on how far you want to go with your healing and also how old the existing scar is.
The newer the scar the quicker the results. Your individual treatment plan will therefore be tailored based on your scar characteristics, symptoms, and goals which could be anywhere between 3 and 12 sessions.
Is the treatment painful?
INDIBA radiofrequency therapy is completely painless and in fact the opposite its described as an unusual but very pleasant and relaxing sensation.
Are there any side effects or downtime?
The treatment is exceptionally safe with no downtime required.
How long do results last?
The improvements achieved through INDIBA treatment are long-lasting because the therapy works at a cellular level to improve tissue quality.
Maintenance sessions may be recommended to optimise results over time.
Can I combine INDIBA with other treatments?
INDIBA works excellently as part of a comprehensive approach to post-caesarean recovery.
It can be safely combined with manual therapy, exercise rehabilitation, and other non-invasive treatments.
