Acne, hyperpigmentation, or scarring post c-section? Well perhaps we can finally say farewell to the hassle of scars with the latest breakthrough from Scar Erase – the go-to solution for silicone-based scar reduction therapy.
This London-based company is making waves with its newly available silicone strips, which is reported to be a game-changing innovation aimed at reducing the appearance of hypertrophic and keloid scars.
The brand’s silicone strips are meticulously crafted from 3 mm of medical-grade silicone, specifically engineered to maximise keratinocyte hydration which is a key factor in reducing the appearance of scars. Not only are the strips comfortable but they are clinically validated to improve the appearance of scars and accelerate the healing journey, both for recent and long standing scars.
Scar Erase cutting-edge technology is tailored to address a spectrum of scar types, encompassing hypertrophic, post-acne, keloid, post-surgery, c-section, and stretch marks. The key lies in their silicone-based scar reduction therapy, currently recognised as the premier solution for smoothing and reducing the visibility of keloid and hypertrophic scars.
Picture this: the scar location is completely enveloped in silicone during treatment, providing ultimate hydration while still allowing vital oxygen to reach the site. This creates an ideal healing environment in the stratum corneum (outer layer of the epidermis), prompting keratinocytes to decrease collagen formation and prevent undesirable scarring.
What's more? Scar Erase has conducted several studies, with the findings published on their website. After just six months of using the silicone strips, the results are staggering – an 86% reduction in scar texture, an 84% reduction in scar colour, and a 68% reduction in scar height. Talk about impressive!
Dr. Sarah Johnson, a Manchester-based dermatologist, is also singing praises for Scar Erase Silicone Strips, calling them a game-changer in scar treatment. "I've recommended them to several of my patients, and the results have been truly remarkable. I'm thrilled to see a product like this finally available in the UK."
Inspired by the buzz in the industry, we decided to test these strips ourselves. After undergoing laparoscopic surgery, we began using the sheet dressings two weeks post-op and continued for a total of eight weeks. The strips provided relief from the itching typically experienced during wound healing and were comfortable overall. While scars can take up to 18 months to fully fade, we noticed significantly reduced hyperpigmentation, far better than we had expected.
Designed for convenience, comfort, and discretion, these silicone strips adhere seamlessly to scars. They are soft, flexible, and hygienic, providing an effortless solution for reducing scar appearance. The best part? They're reusable! Plus, they are vegan, cruelty-free, and perfume-free. You can even trim them to fit any part of your body, ensuring a perfect fit every time. We most definitely Editor-Approve this product which is perfect for the summer when trying to protect scarring and most importantly, avoid pigmentation.
