While there will always be a level of debate about what products are the best and most effective for healing scars, there may be some consensus on what ingredients play the most critical roles in producing an effective scar cream. One of the ingredients most surgeons recommend for scar treatment is silicone. Whether you use it in the form of a cream or an adhesive strip, silicone may be your best bet to help minimize scarring.
The basis for any scar treatment cream should be a highly effective moisture-rich ingredient that promotes collagen production. You’ll need something with the ability to hydrate the skin around your surgical incision (or even an injury or accident wound that may be prone to scarring. The damaged skin will benefit from silicone, which has moisturizing and hydrating properties. Silicone also acts as a barrier between your wound and the outside world, holding moisture in and limiting the effects of environmental concerns and other outside elements that can impact scarring.
The different phases of Scar Protocol have many ingredients that help your skin heal. In addition to the primary ingredient of silicone, Scar Protocol’s Phases include natural ingredients like:
All of the ingredients in Scar Protocol work together to help your skin heal and stay hydrated enough to limit scarring.
Starting to use a scar prevention cream a week after surgery may seem a little quick, but it's the best time to begin your Scar Protocol treatment. You want to apply a generous amount of the cream to your incision area, including the skin around your scar. Use Scar Protocol in the morning and before you go to bed at night. Spend a little time rubbing it into your skin, allowing it to absorb fully. These application tips help build protection and keep the entire area hydrated.
So, what can you expect from your Scar Protocol treatment, and when should you begin each of the five phases?
Your treatment will be complete after you finish the last phase of Scar Protocol. However, continue to moisturize and hydrate your skin even after using ingredients similar to those in Scar Protocol to further discourage scar tissue formation over the next year or so.
A silicone-based scar cream like Scar Protocol is the best way to achieve a smoother, less textured area around your surgical site or wound. In addition to silicone, Scar Protocol can provide your skin with numerous moisturizing ingredients that may help retain hydration and limit the effects and visibility of scarring.
