Name: Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel 20 gm Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel is a very good choice for the care of your red and raised scar. When a wound affects the deeper layer of skin (dermis) a scar is unavoidable but its final appearance can be optimized by proper support. Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel’s innovative formula has been specially designed to provide this support in order to help prevent forming and treat excessive scarring after surgery or injuries. Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel is used either: Alone in case of wounds closed since less than one month. Together with the Massage Ball provided with it in case of wounds closed since more than one month. What is Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel and when should it be used? Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel is intended to be used on your wound only after it is closed in order to help prevent the formation of a red and raised scar (hypertrophic scar). Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel can also be used to smoothen, soften and flatten existing scars and reduces redness, tension and itching which often occur with scars. How Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel acts helping to diminish the appearance of excessive scars? The key reason for excessive scarring and formation of a red and raised scar is the maintenance of a too high level of inflammation during the remodeling phase. By helping the new skin to keep water, inflammation is reduced as well as collagen build up and this result in smaller scars (see figure 1 for reference). Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel has been developed in light of the latest scientific recommendations on scar formation and management and helps to reduce red and raised scars in three ways: The silicone forms a film that covers the scar, protecting the newly formed skin from drying out and thus preserving the moisture balance. Humectants such as panthenol assist this action by binding water in the skin. The Massage Ball helps the breakdown of collagen fibers in older scars. In case of older scars Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel acts in the same way: by providing adequate moisturization it reduces inflammation and collagen formation. In these more solid older scars this action can be further supported by using the Massage Ball provided with Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel. This massaging device allows helping break down the collagen fibers which are inside the scar. Use of Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel results in a smoothening, softening and flattening of older scars. The redness, tension and itching which are often present are also reduced. Other properties of Bepanthen® Anti-Scar Gel: Preservative-free Perfume-free Clinically tested
