Gentle Correction
of Infant Penile Adhesions in Atlanta, GA
Does your baby’s circumcision site look “stuck” or difficult to clean? Our pediatric team at Gentle Beginnings specializes in quick, gentle penile adhesion treatment—so skin bridges don’t become long‑term problems.
Our Method
Non-Surgical Separation
Most infant penile adhesions can be released in seconds with a sterile, blunt instrument and soothing topical anesthetic—no scalpels, no stitches.
Comfort-First Pain Management
A soothing topical anesthetic ensures a pain-free experience for the baby and a quick recovery afterwards.
Prevent-and-Protect Protocol
Parents learn easy daily retraction and ointment steps that keep the glans gliding freely as the baby heals and grows.
