Scars become smoother, more comfortable and more elastic. No fragrance.
Application Tips:
Apply twice a day and gently massage into the skin along the scar.
Instructions for the massage: To determine the maturity of a scar we must evaluate the skin recoloring time by pressing on the scar: press the scar and time the time it takes for the scar to recolor. Normal recoloring time is about 3 seconds. The shorter the time, the more immature the scar.
1. If the scar recolors in less than a second (about one month after the procedure) : The scar is not yet mature Apply the product to the clean and dry scar by pressing gently. Use the index finger to gently apply the product along the scar.
2. If the scar recolors in 1 to 2 seconds: Proceed with a stroking massage with thumb and forefinger along the scar. Gently pinch the skin between the fingers and pull it upwards. Do this until the product is completely absorbed (about 5 minutes).
3. If the scar recolors after 3 seconds (usually 3 months after the procedure): The scar is mature. Massage the scar by stretching it so as not to enlarge it. Use the index and middle finger until the product is completely absorbed (about 5 minutes).
