A scar forms as the body’s natural response to tissue injury, which involves repairing and replacing damaged skin. While many hope their wounds will heal without leaving a mark, scarring is often inevitable. To address this common concern, Mitchell-Vance Laboratories, known for ScarAway Silicone Scar Sheets, has launched ScarScience, an innovative line of at-home scar care products designed to cater to diverse needs.
ScarScience offers solutions for adults, children, various skin tones, and different types of scars including old, new, keloid, hypertrophic, stretch marks, surgical, acne, and injury-related scars.
ScarScience products utilize a proprietary blend of medical-grade silicone. This technology, trusted by dermatologists, plastic surgeons, and hospitals, effectively softens and reduces the appearance of scars. It also acts prophylactically, preventing or minimizing the severity of scars from fresh wounds. Additionally, these products alleviate itching and discomfort associated with scars while providing protection, soothing, and moisturizing the skin.
The ScarScience line includes several options:
ScarScience Silicone Sheets
These ultra-thin, breathable, and flexible patches have a clear polyurethane backing, making them nearly invisible on all skin tones. Ideal for linear scars, they are available in two sizes: 3” x 1.5” and 7” x 1.5” (perfect for C-section scars). They are available and priced between $19.99 and $27.00 on Amazon.
ScarScience Scar Diminishing Serums
This product is suitable for sensitive skin and comes in two no-touch application formats: a brush and a massage roller. Both come in portable, pen-like tubes that are easy to use, even for children. The odorless gel dries quickly, forming a flexible, breathable, non-tacky, waterproof protective covering over the scar. The massage roller combines silicone technology with the mechanical action of massage, which doctors recommend to break up collagen and soften scar tissue, enhancing the appearance of scars. Both serums are available on Amazon for $17.99 to $18.99.
ScarScience by Mitchell-Vance Laboratories offers a comprehensive and effective approach to scar management, making it a valuable addition to any skincare regimen focused on scar reduction.
