Moisturizing Cream for Breast Surgery Scars
SEQUEL Scar Therapy provides advanced dermatologic options for new and old scars. Developed by a plastic surgeon and validated by dermatologists, facial plastic surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, and obstetric-gynecologists, Sequel creams offer innovative solutions to visible scars.
Once the skin in injured, it goes through a process of wound healing over the course of 6-8 weeks. During this period, scars become raised, thickened, and pinkish-red in color. If left unchecked, scars can become hypertrophic, keloid, inflamed, painful, and visibly darker. It is important to apply a ceramide-based moisturizer to help improve the skin’s natural moisture barrier function in order to optimize skin health.
CLINICALLY-VALIDATED
Ceramend Ceramide Moisturizing Cream has powerful peptides that have been clinically-validated to improve skin purpose and function. Ceramides contain sphingolipids that naturally restore integrity to the skin surface. Sphingolipids are large molecules that are naturally found in intact skin. These naturally-occuring molecules play an important role in the structural and functional properties of the epidermal layer of the skin.
Within the last two decades, ceramides have become increasingly important in many clinical moisturizing formulations. According to Dr. Karamanoukian, ceramides can help moisturize and protect vulnerable scars so that they can resume normal skin function in the shortest period of time. In practice, Ceramend Ceramide Moisturizing Cream should be used at least twice daily to the skin.
DIRECTIONS:
As part of the SEQUEL Scar Therapy Kit, Ceramend Ceramide Moisturizing Cream should be used on epithelialized scars at least twice daily. Ceramide peptides can help improve skin quality and suppleness. In a clinical review of patients, physicians found an overall improvement in scar moisture contents, suppleness, and tone after application of Ceramide.
SOLUTION-FOCUSED SCAR TREATMENTS
SEQUEL Scar Therapy Kit includes the following: Sequel Scar Defense Serum, Sequel Dark Scar Corrector, and Ceramend Ceramide Moisture Cream on your scars. These products can be purchased separately or together, depending on your preference.
Scars come in all shapes and sizes. Kare MD Skin Health has partnered with Parke-Davis Dermatologics to provide you with exceptional solution-focused scar treatments that address the most common causes of poor scarring.
- Hypertrophic and Keloid scars: Depending on the level of scar inflammation, some scars may develop thickening caused by an abundance of collagen deposition.
- Hyperpigmented and Discolored scars: Spontaneous production of melanin may cause scars and the surrounding skin to undergo a process of hyperpigmentation. If left alone, scars can be discolored or dyschromic.
- Scar Moisture: Dry scar skin can further irritate and damage sensitive scar skin on the face and body.
- Scar Equilibrium is a concept developed by Dr. Raffy Karamanoukian and refers to a point in skin physiology when the scar returns to normal function and morphology. We expect a scar to become like the normal skin in both its function and appearance. CERAMEND is an excellent ceramide-based moisturizer that restores the natural barrier function of the skin. Use twice daily on all scars in combination with SEQUEL scar creams. C-section scars heal well and can reach a state of Scar Equilibrium within weeks to months of the surgery.
If you are trying to choose the best scar creams for your skin and can’t decide on which product to purchase; we recommend the SEQUEL SCAR DEFENSE KIT which has all three products in a specialized mini-kit.
