The Plastic Surgeon in a Bottle! - Fortified with VITAMIN E

Don't leave the appearance of your scar to chance.
Use ScarGuard(TM) and help your scar look better.

If you have a scar ... You can do something about it!


While complete erasure doesn't usually occur, many things can improve the appearance of scars tremendously.

ScarGuard(TM) combines these into an easy-to-use liquid. Whether you have a new injury or a scar that has been there for years, ScarGuard® can help!

 

What is a Scar?
  • When our skin is damaged, we make collagen to repair it. Collagen is just like cement filling the space between two bricks.
  • Our Cells make too much collagen and then mold it by making the enzyme "collagenase" to melt the extra collagen.
  • This molding process goes on for months. If extra collagen is left, a thick scar is formed.
  • A perfect balance between collagen and collagenase will leave the least noticeable scar.

How it works

Plastic Surgeons and Dermatologists have known for decades that there are ways to improve the appearance of scars ... Until now though, none have been very convenient.

  • Pressure Dressings have been used on burn scars for over a century and are known to improve scar appearance.
  • Silicone Sheets have been prescribed by doctors for decades. Silicone sheeting applied to a scar also helps improve it's appearance.
  • Cortisone Creams soothe itching and scar irritation which are common in overgrown scars.
  • Vitamin E helps soften the scar

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why is my Scar too thick?
A. Because the Scar "over-healed" leaving too much collagen.

 

Q. What makes extra collagen shrink?
A. Our body naturally makes collagenase to do that.

  Q. How long should I use ScarGuard(TM)?
A. As long as no irritation develops, ScarGuard can be continued as long as needed. It is very unusual for a scar not to look better.
  Q. Can ScarGuard(TM) make my scar worse?
A. We know of no evidence that it can. Some people, though, tend to "over-grow" scars no matter what is done.
  Q. Will ScarGuard(TM) erase my scar?
A. No, but the ingredients in ScarGuard(TM) usually makes them less noticeable!
