scar care

With Mepiform, you can!

Mepiform is a thin, flexible, self-adherent gel sheet that over time can help soften and flatten old and new raised, hardened, or keloid scars, making them appear smaller, lighter and less conspicuous. Clinical reports demonstrate improvements as early as 30 days.

Discreet and comfortable, it can be worn easily under clothing and during most activities, including bathing. And because each sheet of Mepiform can be worn up to 7 days or longer, as well as removed and reapplied numerous times, it is very cost-effective too. More . . .

Management of Scars
By Bruce Smith, M.D., FACS
Injuries that penetrate the thickest layer of the skin often result in the formation of scar tissue. Scars may follow a normal course of maturation and resolve to an acceptable state, or they can become abnormal. Any delay in healing may predispose a person to abnormal scar formation.

Keloid scars invade into adjacent normal tissue with increased color, thickness and height. These scars are disfiguring and can lead to a decrease in function, especialy if the joints are involved. The aim of therapy is to soften, flatten, smooth out the scar and normalize the color of the scar. Continued . . .
