Scar Reducer Patches
Scar reducer patches are medical devices designed to help minimize the appearance of scars, both new and old. They are typically made of a thin, flexible material that is applied directly to the scar. Scar reducer patches work by providing a moist environment that promotes healing and reducing the formation of scar tissue.
How Scar Reducer Patches Work:
- Occlusion: Scar reducer patches create an occlusive barrier over the scar, preventing the evaporation of moisture from the skin. This helps to keep the scar hydrated and promotes a moist wound healing environment.
- Hydration: The occlusive barrier also helps to hydrate the scar, which can soften and flatten the scar tissue.
- Pressure Therapy: The gentle pressure applied by the scar reducer patch can help to reduce inflammation and swelling in the scar, which can also contribute to a reduction in the appearance of the scar.
- Ingredients: Some scar reducer patches contain additional ingredients that may help to improve the appearance of scars, such as silicone, hyaluronic acid, or vitamin E.
