WHY ARE FATTY ACIDS SO IMPORTANT ?

The essential building bricks Linoleic Acid (Omega - 6 Fatty Acid ) and Alpha - Linolenic Acid (Omega -3 Fatty Acid) are not produced in our body even though they are an absolute necessity for the skin cell regeneration and the repair of the barrier function of the skin . They are also anti-inflammatory, so they help calm and soothe skin conditions. Linoleic Acid improves the cohesion of the cells and naturally protects the skin structure from aggressions. If Omega 6 is lacking during the healing process of the skin other available fatty acids will replace it, but this will result in an increased skin sensitivity, often leaving the skin dry and itchy. Palmitoleic Acid (Omega 7 fatty acid) is a component of human sebum and very uncommon within the plant kingdom. Omega 7 supports the formation of cell tissue and wound healing and has antimicrobial activity.

Damaged skin lacks natural sebum and can become dry and flaky.

CAN WE REDUCE SCARS BY INGESTING ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ?

Adding essential fatty acids (Omega 3,6 and 7 ) through diet has a limited and time consuming effect on skin health . The epidermal layers of the skin do not contain blood vessels to supply the cells with nutrients, as blood vessels are only found in the dermis. Additionally the structure of the epidermis prevents the circulation of extracellular fluids . Therefore, the outer layers of the epidermis are provided with less nutritional support than the underlying cells.

SO HOW EFFECTIVELY SUPPLY THE ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS ?

Fortunately the skin is directly affected by the use of topical applications. Topical application of Omega 3, 6 and 7 has been proven to be very efficient in supplying essential fatty acids to the skin.

NAQI® Essentials Positive C-Section - An interview with Hannah Poulton WHO IS HANNAH POULTON? Hannah Poulton is a Senior Physiotherapist, UK Leading Scar Specialist, Acupuncturist and Womens Health Practitioner. Hannah has over two decades of experience within Physiotherapy and owns HLP Therapy.

M

y passion has always been to see individuals recover well, not just from the physical effects of an accident, surgery or trauma, but to acknowledge and heal from the emotional aspects too.

That is why I built HLP Therapy. Beautiful clinics, where we use a combination of manual therapy skills, expert scar products, professional training and empathy to treat every individual in a truly holistic way. Ive also developed unique Scar Therapy Training Courses for Health Professionals, C-Section preparation courses for mums and “Positive C-Section Recovery Kits” to enhance scar outcomes for clients.

That is why it is so important to have a comprehensive postnatal assessment and use the best products. I always recommend Naqi products for the accelerated healing of scars. Their Repair Oil and Skin Optimising oil, are the perfect blend of Omega 3 and 6 and Rose hip oil, combined with other nourishing oils. They are easy to apply, absorb quickly into the skin and nourish into the deeper layers of your scar.

If you’ve had a c-section and are 6 weeks post partum and your scar is fully closed, no infection present and you’ve been cleared by a medical professional - then why not try these following steps:
