SkinMedica Scar Recovery Gel works…and you should try it!

Whether you are considering cosmetic surgery, you need a lesion removed, or you cut your arm, the scar will cross your mind at some point.  Many scar creams boast that they will aid in decreasing the appearance of your scar or lightening the color; however, a lot of those products do not have the clinical studies to back up their claims and advertisements.  At Berks Plastic Surgery, we offer SkinMedica Scar Recovery Gel which is clinically proven to help avoid the appearance of unsightly scars.  Here are some common questions we are asked:

Does it really work?

The short answer is: yes.  One clinical study showed that 80% of patients treated experienced a reduction in the appearance of their scars.

Why does this work better than other products?

The active ingredients in SkinMedica Scar Recovery Gel create Centelline which is a first-of-its-kind complex that is proven to hydrate damaged skin, stimulate collagen production and repair wounds and scars.

Is it expensive?

When compared to over-the-counter scar creams, it does appear pricey; however, this product works.  Our patients feel as though it was money well spent.  You can also look at online reviews at Amazon.com where it’s ranked with the highest five star rating.

Does it work on old scars?

Scars can take a year or longer to finish forming.  By starting this product anywhere along the way, you are helping to minimize the appearance of your scar or scars.
