This can therefore be instrumental, if applied whilst the wound is symptomatic, in reducing the visibility of a scar that may be left, resulting in a much smoother, less noticeable mark. Once the scar has formed and no longer shows symptoms of redness, inflammation, itchiness and heat, the product is no longer as effective. Mr Douglas McGeorge, one of the most sought-after aesthetic plastic surgeons in the UK, had also noticed a lack of effective products on offer to patients after surgery. He explains:
“Patients could be treated by the world’s best surgeon yet most will focus on the visible aspect of lasting scars. As well as creating the must-have product for post-surgery aftercare, Solution for Scars is a first-aid kit essential for any bathroom cabinet. Based on naturally occurring actives, it’s as suitable to breast augmentation or facelift patients, as it is to children’s scraped knees.” Available scar treatments have historically provided mainly inert silicone-based formulations, with little scientifically proven data behind them.
They only offer temporary relief, by sitting on the upper layer of the skin, acting as a barrier and trapping moisture. Most contain no active ingredients. A new evidence-based study, published last month in the Archives of Dermatological Research on the role of topical treatments and dressings in the management of scarring, has reviewed the lack of data, and summarised concisely the ineffectiveness of some of these current treatments. Ardeshir Bayat, who has given more than 450 presentations worldwide on the topic of wound repair and regeneration and published in excess of 390 original papers, reviews, scientific abstracts and book chapters, is an active member of the American Wound Healing and the European Tissue Repair Societies. He concludes:
“Our research has broken the mould when it comes to effective products to make a significant difference in the successful management of scarring. Solution for Scars™ works differently to some of the existing products on the market. Solid scientific research and harnessing the very best that nature can offer underpins all of our product development – and we now have the scientific evidence to back it up.”
The product, which is fragrance and paraben free, also includes microalgae and seawater minerals to keep skin hydrated and moisturised. Survey Results in full:
