Scar Repairex

What types of scar are there?

• A scar maybe raised (keloid), or sunken/ flat in appearance.
• Scar Repairex helps reduce the appearance of ALL types of scars.

The science behind Scar Repairex

Scar Repairex combines the most potent ingredients, available today, for aiding scar tissue repair and reducing unsightly appearance. These include:

Cyclopentasiloxane

A transparent, non-greasy, non-irritant, liquid silicone that forms an effective "cross link", which is easily absorbed into the skin

Dimethicone

A silicone used as an emollient (skin softeners) that allows its application to feel smooth. In addition, this ingredient quickly evaporates, without leaving any greasy residue

A combination of these two encourages growth factors that depress the collagen-producing fibroblasts, whilst providing optimum hydration for keratinocyte (healthy skin cell) growth

Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7

stimulates the development of new collagen & elastin, leading to rapid healing

Palmitoyl Oligopeptide

A tripeptide that stimulates the healthy growth of the cell matrix and connective tissue

These polypeptides are essential to stimulate the growth of elastin, which allows the growth of a normal flexible skin layer, after an injury.

Retinyl Palmitate (vitamin A)

essential for normal growth of cells and healthy skin.

Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E)

promotes healthy skin

Camellia Sinensis (Green Tea Extract)

stimulates important anti-oxidants and neutralises free radicals at cellular level.

Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate

a stable Vitamin C, which is a powerful anti-oxidant that helps neutralise harmful free radicals in cells. It also aids rapid healing.

This powerful combination of anti-oxidants removes free-radicals, which are generated following any injury of the skin. These free radicals promote inflammation & stimulate fibroblasts, which then over produce collagen. This over-production of collagen is what causes the thickness of the scar.

Lecithin

important source of Choline, Inositol, & Linoleic acid, which are part of all cell walls, and play an important role in cell growth and function.

Persea Gratissima oil

obtained from avocado pear, and consists principally of the glycerides of fatty acids (palmitic, palmitoleic, stearic, oleic, linoleic & linolenic). It is rich in vitamins, A, B1, B2, D, E , Potassium & Lecithin. This oil is most easily absorbed into the skin, working on the tissues beneath the superficial layer.

These two ingredients contain all the necessary nutrients and vitamins required by healthy skin cells, called keratinocytes. These help encourage and promote the growth of normal skin.

Rutin

has powerful anti-oxidant & anti-inflammatory properties that strengthen capillaries and aid healing.

Phaseolus Lunatus

extract this protein factor has anti-inflammatory properties.

These anti-inflammatory substances are important in reducing the swelling and redness that happens in wounds, therefore, discouraging the production of scar-forming collagen.

Allantoin is Keratolytic

has the effect of softening skin and is a rapid cell regenerator

This substance has the effect of breaking the skin keratin protein, which would otherwise form a barrier to the deep penetration of the ingredients listed above.

Isopropyl Palmitate

derived from palmitic acid in coconut oil, which is an excellent moisturiser that forms a thin film, and easily penetrates the skin.

This ester forms a thin layer over the skin in order to retain the moisture and promote the growth of the healthy keratinocytes, (normal skin cells) at the expense of collagen-making fibroblasts.
