“A solid scar treatment regimen is essential after cosmetic plastic surgery or dermatology procedures. Our recommended protocols follow established guidelines for scar treatment that optimizes wound healing and collagen stimulation.” - Raffy Karamanoukian, MD FACS
There are many cosmetic plastic surgery and dermatology procedures that require immediate scar care to optimize healing. Most scars heal well when placed under the right conditions for wound healing. Proper skincare, scar maintenance, and scar correction can yield excellent results that can last a lifetime.
Many factors contribute to proper wound healing and scar results including your skin type, family history of scarring, and health. All skin types, regardless of skin complexion, can be optimized to promote the development of a nice scar.
Plastic surgeons and dermatologist worry about three basic types of poor scarring. If you are at risk of developing keloids, hypertrophic scars, or hyperpigmented scars; our Sequel Scar Protocol can help you achieve your desired results. Although a proper scar treatment protocol can optimize results, it is also important to complement your scar regimen with advice from a board-certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to see if you need additional medical treatment such as scar revision surgery, lasers, or intralesional injections.
Step 1: Our Sequel Scar Defense Serum is a game-changer for early scars. Simply massage the serum into the skin overlying the scar twice daily until the serum is absorbed into the skin. Usually a raindrop sized portion will suffice for a one-inch scar per month. The serum can help reduce the incidence of hypertrophic scarring associated with early wound healing.
Step 2: Always moisturize your scars to prevent dessication and poor scar formation. Ceramend Ceramide Moisturizing Cream can be applied onto the skin twice daily to help restore skin moisture and hydration. Ceramide creams contain natural sphingolipids that improve the skin’s natural moisture barrier function.
Step 3: Scar discoloration is a common concern in the early and late phase of wound healing and scar formation. Stimulation of epidermal melanocytes is non-selective and can lead to dysfunctional pigment deposition. Sequel Dark Scar Corrector can help reduce the development of dark discoloration by addressing skin tone and color. Use twice daily on the skin to help blend in color changes for scars.
