RegimA SCAR REPAIR & ANTI-STRETCH COMPLEXOperative & Trauma Scars – Burns & Scar Prevention Stretch Marks Treatment & prevention The management of a scar after trauma or surgery is as important as the operation itself in achieving an optimal final result. Most people at some time in their lives will have to deal with a scar. It must be remembered that scars can never be removed completely. Scar formation is the normal way for the body to repair itself. The way it is treated from day one, however, will dictate whether one is left with a flat, white, mature scar or a lumpy, hypertrophic, unsightly scar. Sometimes if left untreated, one may develop thickened, red, inflamed, itchy, hypertrophic or keloid scars. This very often depends on the location of the scar. The objective of the RégimA Scar Treatment is to help mature a scar as quickly as possible, promoting balanced collagen production and improved wound healing in new and old scars, achieving an optimal final result. Through many years of researching ingredients and techniques for decreasing scar formation it has been found that when certain factors are combined one may reduce the maturation time of a scar, achieving a more acceptable cosmetic appearance. When treating a new scar it is essential not to apply any fragranced tissue or vitamin E oils to the scar. This can in certain cases lead to intense irritation, inflammation and subsequent breakdown of the scar and pigmentation. Scar Repair contains NO fragrance. RégimA Scar Repair & Anti-Stretch Complex is an incredibly versatile product. It can be used for new scars, accelerating the healing process in the critical initial inflammatory phase and has been seen to help flatten and mature old scars that have remained lumpy, red and irritable. Effective as a ‘preventative and treatment’ for stretch marks. It has also been seen clinically to have a calming, healing effect on acneform skins. It must be remembered that scars can never be removed completely. Scar formation is the normal way for the body to repair itself. The way it is treated from day one, however, will dictate whether one is left with a flat, white, mature scar or a lumpy, hypertrophic, unsightly scar. NEW SCARS: The inflammatory phase is the initial and most important stage requiring treatment. It is essential that excessive inflammation be prevented during scar treatment to reduce the swelling, redness and pain associated with untreated or badly treated scars. Swelling of the immediate scar area is inevitable as a result of the activity of various cell hormones released in and around the fresh scar. Too much swelling can result in a thick, dense, binding scar. RégimA scar treatment contains an abundance of renowned wound healing plants including Centella Asiatica. Centella exhibits wound healing and anti-inflammatory activities as well as being a strong antioxidant, which stimulates the formation of lipids and proteins necessary for healthy skin. Centella has the ability to influence the inflammatory process in wound healing. A liposomic complex helps carry the powerful Natural ingredients deep into the dermis. Once in the skin the liposomes ‘fall apart’ releasing their valuable load into the cells. Adding to the power of this product is RégimA’s unique form of Elastin. It is synthesized to replicate human elastin. It is NOT of animal origin and has not been tested on animals. This is not Elastin found in shampoos and conditioners as those molecules are too large to penetrate to the deeper layers of skin (dermis) and would be ineffective as a scar treatment. RégimA’s Elastin is presented in a special micromolecular peptide form (DNA protector), ensuring Scar Repair’s immediate penetration to the dermis. OLD SCARS: If a scar is flat, stretched and white this indicates a mature scar and there is little that can be done to improve them other than excision and deal with a new scar. One should note that excision of a scar usually leaves one with a slightly larger scar. This must always be discussed with your doctor. If a scar is pink, purple, lumpy, itchy and tender this indicates an immature, hypertrophic or keloid scar and one can do something about it. If appropriate the scar should be taped with the Scar Repair Complex applied over the top 4 times daily. If it cannot be taped one should massage the Scar Repair, applying pressure into the scarred area 4 times daily. This should be continued until the scar becomes paler and flatter. STRETCH MARKS – New & Old: Stretch marks occur for many reasons and some skins are more susceptible than others. Stretch marks are fine scars caused by tearing in the dermis (living layer of skin). The dermis is where our skin produces collagen and elastic fibers that give it a firmer, younger appearance. The scars occur when skin is stretched to the point of breakdown, like elastic losing elasticity, at which point these tears start to show through the epidermis. RégimA Scar Repair & Anti-Stretch Complex helps generate new skin cells and repair the damaged scar tissue and helps prevent further stretching. It is an effective repair and preventative treatment, however, obviously the oilier or younger the skin, the more elastic it is and therefore the skin’s response is quicker because it needs less elastic proteins to repair. Therefore the drier and less elastic the skin will require more long-term Anti-Stretch treatment. Stretch marks cannot be eliminated completely. However, it has been seen in clinical practice that one can make them look a lot better and proper early care lessens the impact and helps prevent further damage. Our aim is to deeply nourish the skin to start with, penetrate through to the dermis and heal, thicken and re-elastisize. With continued use the skin will become stronger and more elastic, giving one the ability to stretch more without damage. Anti-Stretch penetrates through the epidermis (outer horny layer of skin) down into the dermis regenerating new cells. It is a ‘prevention as well as a treatment’. The healing plants plus our special Elastin, work synergistically healing and repairing. We help to eliminate the incessant itching associated with stretch mark development, thus helping in the prevention process. One must allow 2 to 3 months to see improvement, this varying again on the age and elasticity factors. Contraindications: Natural Product – None known |
