What is Healing Touch Premium Scar Gel?
There are many treatments for scar removal including chemical peels, filler injections, dermabrasion, laser treatment, steroids, semi-occlusive and pressure dressings and radiotherapy. Some of these treatments can be very expensive and they may not be effective at all. Another treatment option that is becoming very popular are natural therapies. They are fast, easy and cost effective. Treatments like Healing Touch Premium Scar Gel are designed to reduce swelling, redness and pain that come from scarring.
Scar tissue is usually pink or red and does not contain sweat glands or hair follicles. Some types of scars can contain blood vessels and nerves, but most do not. Once a scar is formed the skin cannot regenerate itself in that location. Over time, the scar may begin to discolor but is rarely completely disappears.
To many people scars can be embarrassing, painful and an unsightly condition. The healing process begins when blood starts clotting in the wound. The body then begins depositing a fibrous tissue called collagen to repair the broken skin. It’s much like our original skin, but laid out in a different pattern. Additionally, since this is new tissue, it takes on a different appearance than the original skin. The longer the healing process takes, the more collagen that is deposited and the more pronounced the scar becomes.
