How do scars form?
Skin injury triggers chemical reaction in-order to heal itself. The healing mechanisms over work causing excessive skin formation that leads to scarring.
When our skin bears injury the top layer increases moisture production in order to hydrate the affected site. But once the moisture reaches the stratum corneum, it evaporates at an excessive rate triggering excessive keratinocyte and collagen production. The over production causes scarring and darker coloration of healing skin.
How to reduce scar formation?
Scarlite silicon scar treatment gel seals the scar affected area thereby preventing moisture loss. The scar site gets evenly distributed hydration once a thin layer of scarlite is applied to the area. While Scarlite occludes the skin and prevents moisture loss, its permeability allows the skin to breathe comfortably, thereby allowing ideal environment to heal.
The retention of moisture and availability of oxygen reduces the chemical reactions that trigger excessive production of keratinocyte and collagen. Regular use of Scarlite till wound area is healed will significantly reduce scar formation, resulting in flatter, smoother and more even toned healing.
Allantoin and Isoquercetin in Scarlite aid in calming the skin thus reducing itching and discomfort associated with scars.
Topical silicon gel is safe and effective treatment for hypertrophic and keloidal scars. It is easy to apply and cosmetically acceptable.*
