NEW SCARS: Plastic surgeons have for many years found that taping new scars using microporous paper tape applied immediately following suture removal has resulted in a reduction in scar width and thickness. The tape applies sufficient pressure required to support the wound. However, there is more to scar treatment. 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 canresult in the accumulation of a highly concentrated fibrogen gel that can mature into a thick, dense, binding scar. RégimA scar treatments contain an abundance of renowned woundhealing plants including Centella Asiatica being the main one, bulbinella frutescens, natural sulphur etc. Centella exhibits wound healing and anti-inflammatory activities as well asbeing 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 woundhealing. 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. Elastin is a natural protein present in skin. As we age the body's manufacturing of elastin slows down and drying,sagging, wrinkling of skin develops making scar healing much slower. Our form of Elastin is not that found in shampoos and conditioners as those molecules are too large to penetrate tothe 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 ScarRepair's immediate penetration to the dermis, promoting repair and firming of the skin. Our Elastin is synthesized (man-made) by painstaking means (We do not use natural elastin as this isderived from animals and we do not use any animal byproducts within our skin treatments)
METHOD OF APPLICATION: One may apply Scar Repair alone or over the top of microporous tape. If one experiences any reaction to the tape then use the cream alone. It is advised thatto achieve ultimate benefit from the scar treatment programme one should tape down the scar using Micropore paper tape following suture removal (The width of the tape must besufficient so as to cover and support the scar completely - Micropore 24 mm width tape is usually used) where possible. (Obviously this would prove to be difficult and a tell tale sign in thecase of a face lift, also one would never tape the eye lids. So, in this case the cream would be applied alone at least 4 times daily and massaged with light pressure to all the scars.) Thetape should be applied to a clean scar and there must be no greasiness on the surrounding skin. The tape should be applied firmly and should overlap the scar by at least 0.5 cm at eachend. The Scar Repair is then applied sparingly to the surface of the tape, down the centre on top of the tape, avoiding the edges and ends so as not to cause stickiness and lack of tapeadhesion. (The cream impregnates the tape and works like a 'slow release medicine' onto the scar) The tape must be left on until it comes off naturally (usually approximately 5 to 7 days).One should bath or shower with the tape in place. Once the tape shows signs of lifting it should be very gently removed so as not to cause any inflammation. One must not put tape onand remove on a daily basis this causes too much irritation . One should continue the procedure of taping with the Scar Repair over the top until the scar becomes paler and flat,indicating maturation. A scar normally takes a year to heal but the Scar Repair, if used correctly and regularly, will accelerate scar maturation as never before.One should tape where possible for a couple of months, especially scars in certain areas, and then use the Scar Repair alone. The length of time would vary from person to person. Thisalso depends on the position of the scar. Certain areas tend to heal more slowly and develop stretched or thickened scars eg. Chest, over joints or bony prominences. For a lipectomy(tummy tuck) for example it is essential to tape the scar and apply Scar Repair over 4 times daily if one is to achieve the best result. It can otherwise be a problem area. One should alsoremember that smokers heal much more slowly.
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 shouldnote 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 withthe 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 shouldbe continued until the scar becomes paler and flatter.
BURNS: Burns must be assessed and treated initially by a doctor. However, once a burn is no longer at risk of infection one may begin to apply Scar Repair to the scarred area 4 times dailyto accelerate healing, help prevent hardening and pigmentation of the skin. One may also apply RégimA Laser Gel over the top of the Scar Repair.
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 (livinglayer of skin). The dermis is where our skin produces collagen and elastin fibres 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 andpreventative 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 andhelps 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 willbecome 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 dermisregenerating new cells. It is a 'prevention as well as a treatment'. The healing plants and our special Elastin, work synergistically healing and repairing. We help to eliminate the incessantitching 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.Scar Repair does have a Nappi code so if prescribed by a doctor (not for cosmetic reasons) certain medical aids may pay for it.
