How does SCARXGEN™ Work?
- SCARXGEN™ works through epidermal hydration and occlusion resulting in collagen deregulation and flattening of the scar. The silicone gel sheet optimizes trans-epidermal water loss while allowing oxygen to pass through its semi-permeable membrane.
- Prolonged application of SCARXGEN™ results in flattening and reducing the appearance of the scar.
