Scars usually result from trauma of some kind (surgery, accident, disease) and are a natural part of the healing process. A normal scar usually develops during the first 48 hours after wound closure and fades within 3 to 12 months. However various factors can interfere with and alter the wound-healing process, causing an “overhealing” or continuation of the scarring process. As a result, an abnormal scar develops. The abnormal scar may grow bigger, fail to fade, restrict the movement of a joint, cause discomfort, itching or pain.

Abnormal scars may cause distress because of their appearance. But any scar can be perceived as a personal problem. Some may learn to accept their scar, but many never forget it. It is widely accepted by psychologists that proactively treating to reduce the visibility of a scar can actually help boost self-esteem.

Stratamed – Open Wound Scar Gel

StratamedStratamed is a breakthrough treatment that can actually be used on non epithelialised wounds – this basically means wounds where the skin has not yet healed over the top of the broken surface. This product is great because it can work to heal the skin before the scarring process even begins, allowing the skin to repair much better than it would have otherwise. Other products can often not be applied until after the wound has fully closed, which can take weeks – Stratamed has changed all that. This is a great product to have on hand or have ready for use in the early days of a wound.

Scars – Strataderm Scar Therapy Gel – the next-generation scar therapy gel

StratadermStrataderm is a silicone gel that is applied in a thin layer to the affected skin to form a self-drying, transparent, flexible and gas-permeable silicone gel sheet that adheres to the skin. This ensures a constant contact time to the entire surface of the scar allowing it to work 24 hours a day. Strataderm is ideal for any irregular skin/scar surfaces, the face, moving parts such as joints, and any size of scar. It can be used on both new and old scars.

The advanced formulation of Strataderm has been developed using new silicone technology that has superior durability, skin-feel and drying time. The non-sticky, odourless formulation does not lead to secondary side-effects such as maceration, rashers, pruritus and infection and is therefore suitable for children and people with sensitive skin.

Strataderm scar therapy gel:
  • Softens and flattens raised scars
  • Relieves the itching and discomfort associated with scars
  • Reduces redness and discolouration
  • Prevents abnormal and excessive scar formation
How to use Strataderm
  • Ensure that the scar is clean and dry
  • Apply a very thin layer and allow to dry (3-4 minutes)
  • Strataderm should be applied once daily, and maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours/day)
  • Once dry, Strataderm can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts

Strataderm is recommended as a minimum treatment of 60-90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer. Continued use is recommended until no further improvement is seen.

How much Strataderm do I need?

Scarring What’s the best product to use for scarring after Breast Augmentation? January 12, 2021 - Scarring is something anyone who’s having a breast augmentation will have to deal with.

Stratacel Stratacel – Wound Dressing, Helping with Scars November 7, 2017 - What is Stratacel? Lynne Charisis: Stratacel is a film-forming wound dressing. It’s actually the first film-forming wound dressing developed to go on sensitive skin after you’ve had a rejuvenation procedure, so something like microdermabrasion, microneedling, chemical peel, or a fractional laser resurfacing procedure, then it is a product that you can put on post that procedure, which is designed to help the skin heal faster so that you can get back to work quicker and that you get a better result from the procedure that you’ve had. How long do you use it for? You’d apply it straight away after the procedure. It’s really easy to spread over your skin, even when your skin is tender from a fractional resurfacing procedure, and so it’s really easy to apply. You put it on straight away because it’s sterile in the tube, and then you’d re-apply it as often as you want but at least two times a day, and you do that until your skin is healed so probably up to seven days because once you’ve had one of those procedures your skin starts to lose a lot of moisture from the lower layers of the skin, and Stratacel will help […]

However something important often overlooked is the care of your wound where incisions during surgery were made. Looking after the site of the incision properly can mean all the difference between a neat and tidy scar compared to a possible angry, open and long-to-heal wound that results in a raised, more noticeable scar.

As well as following your practitioner’s instructions for dressings, etc. you may wish to consider a product called Stratamed. Developed by […]
