Scarfade Scar Treatment Gel
Scarfade is a topical treatment that helps to reduce scarring on the skin. Medically-proven studies show that silicone scar gel helps the body slow down production of collagen and, when used as directed, reduces scars. Use Scarfade gel on scars from cuts, burns, surgical incisions, sports injuries and auto accidents.
What is a Scar?
The normal scar forming process begins with any trauma to the skin which injures the dermis and causes bleeding. The skin is made up of three layers. The deepest layer is called the dermis. When the dermis is injured by a deep wound, a scar naturally occurs to bind the edges of a wound together. All deep incisions through the dermis will form a scar.
Scar Treatment
In certain patients, scars can become raised, reddened and firm. These "hyper" enlarged scars are called hypertrophic scars. Treatment for hypertrophic scars includes cortisone injections, pressure dressings and surgical removal. Another effective treatment for hypertrophic scars called Silicone Gel Sheeting was developed within the last decade.
Getting Rid of Scars
In 1997, Scarfade was introduced in the form of a topical silicone scar gel which is applied like a cream. It forms a micro-thin layer of silicone on the scar and can be worn under cosmetics. As a result, constant skin contact is achieved in a comfortable and convenient way. Scarfade gel is guaranteed to help beautify scars and quickly fade laser erythema.
Customer Testimonials
Recently I was unfortunate to have an accident in China. After surgery it looked as though someone had stitched my wound as they would a flour-sack. Following the directions I applied Scarfade and after the first month noticed dramatically reduced redness and the scar was beginning to smooth. After the 2ndmonth 80% of the scar was as smooth as the surrounding tissue and kept improving while using the product. What’s also remarkable about the product is how little needs to be applied to the area and how long it lasts.
