What is Gender-Affirming Care?

Below is a timeline for those undergoing gender-affirming (and other) surgeries. Schedule your Uncle Nat’s care regime to speed up your healing, reduce scarring, and get the best results.

Post-op care services are also amazing for c-sections, chest augmentations, those who may be susceptible to keloid scarring, or who need any other type of wound or scar support.

If you’re looking for more information about what your unique wound or scar healing process could look like,
book a chat with Nat.

BEGIN HAIR REMOVAL

We offer a rapid result combination of laser and electrolysis, we call Lasertrolysis. Faster than laser alone. Less expensive & time consuming then electrolysis alone. Book a phone chat with Cynthia or Uncle Nat.

LED LIGHT THERAPY AND MANUAL LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE (MLD)

The minute you’re ready to change your bandages, start using LED light therapy. This will speed up healing by 600% and inhibit the scarification process. You can do LED as often as you like. Celluma Home is our favorite unit!

Ask your surgeon how soon you can start MLD. Reach out to Ankeen who practices near by.

SCAR TREATMENT

We love a good acid and enzyme treatment for scar tissue. This isn’t meant to go deep. It isn’t a curative treatment. It is part of the process of keeping your scar tissue flexible at all levels. Book a Scar Treatment.
