The skin is the largest organ of the body. It is your greatest protection against pathogens that can make you ill. If you’ve ever had an open skin injury, you probably noticed a scar after healing. Scars are part of the body’s healing process. Their visibility depends on several different factors including: nature of the injury; healing time; age; race — high levels of melanin in the skin will make a scar worse.
There are a variety of products on the market and sorting through them and selecting the best one for your needs can be confusing. Many companies trying to cash in on trends do not really care about the quality of their product, therefore their products may be ineffective. We decided to conduct some independent online research to learn about this product. Read on to find out if this product is right for your needs.
Ingredients
- Medical Grade Silicone — an ingredient that has been approved by the FDA for use topically on scars because it allows the scar to ‘breathe’ by increasing its hydration. For decades, this ingredient has been used by burn hospital units and cosmetic surgeons since it is the only ingredient proven to minimize the appearance of unsightly scars obtained from burns, cuts and stretch marks. In the process, it also softens the skin. It is also applicable for post Op-Microdermabrasion procedures.
This product does not contain Latex, which makes it suitable for individuals with sensitive skin.
Dosage
CicaSolution can be applied topically on scars that have already healed. Avoid applying on open wounds or fresh scars. Before application, make sure to clean and dry the area. Apply daily until scar appearance diminishes. For maintenance, CicaSolution can be applied several times per week. The silicon stick can also be used under sunscreen or makeup and is safe for use for young children.
Make sure to check with your physician before using. If an allergic reaction or rash develops, discontinue using the product.
