SCARS TREATMENT KIT
<< Frequently asked questions

 

Removal of a scar using an at-home regimen such as a cream or lotion is a lengthy treatment requires patience. However, Hippocrates has developed an skin care tailored for scarring using high-potency serums. This skin care changes your complexion dramatically within one month, while more results will be noticed with continous use. In two months what will be more noticeable is the glow and smoothness in your skin rather than scarrings. Scars may never disappear completely, yet, your skin will divert into a skin strikingly different in terms of overall smoothness and radiance. Hippocrates scars resurfacing kit takes six to twelve months to smooth away scarrings depends on their depth. Location, type and depth of an scar are factors that significantly affect its treatment. This renders "scars reduction" a more appropriate term than "scar removal" for any system trying to alleviate scarrings' appearance.

We believe this kit is more effective than a series of skin resurfacing treatments done in a plastic surgeon office in improving appearance of acne scars. The kit lasts for two months.

Hippocrates treatment works on the surface of the skin, epidermis, as well as deep within the dermis layer. It also benefits from retexturizing properties of retinol, AHAs such as glycolic acid and beta hydroxy acids for removal of acne scar and damaged skin (Acne Treatment Kit is also available for those still with active acne). This kit also provides the skin with the nutrients it needs the most to make up for lost nutrients while the epidermis gets involved with skin renewal. The result is a new skin, where scars are hardly recognizable because overall smoothness of the skin overwhelms the gradually-disappearing scarrings.

Hippocrates kit for treatment of acne scarring includes three formulations/creams includes two serums and one cream: " acne scar treatment serum", "Dermal Repair " and "Day Effect cream".

Hippocrates serum for treatment of acne scarring is a high potency resurfacing serum to retexturize your skin. This retexturizer nourish the skin with essential elements and protects against free radicals. Sscarring start gradullay fading away and your skin tone and texture dramatically change. Glow becomes more noticeable in your skin rather than scarrings. Scar Ttreatment is part of Hippocrates antiaging line of skin care. It is bioengineered to reduce scarrings using an at-home regimen.

 

Day Effect an scarring cream, a complement to work of scar serum:

A nourishing cream mosturizer with main function of nourishing and soothing the skin so that epidemis can go on with higher turn-over rate. Day Effect, the nourishing cream, is an essential part of Hippocrates treatment of scarring and especially helps with restoring the skin, providing it with nutrients it needs the most and facilitate healing process. Day Effect is a combination of marine extracts, complex of hyaluronic acid-Vitmain B5, optimal level of Gamma Linolenic acid and many other essential nutrients in a soothing cream base.

This luxurious skin retexturizer keeps your skin moisturized and nourished all day long while it regulates sebum production. This soothing cream help your skin to rebuild and revitalize itself and facilitates scars healing and skin repairing job of this treatment. Its synergistic effect with the serum makes it an essential, uncompromisable element of this kit, which specifically bioengineered for treatment . Our research suggest use of the serum alone can not bring the maximum resurfacing results desired. So the kit comprises of three synergistic elements which complete work of one another. Glycolic serum, used once a week, is a strong peeling agent which facilitates removal of dead cells accumulated on the surface. This exfoliating agent increases penetration of essential nutrients provided with other elements of the kit.

I have these scars for a while , what are my choices, is there a real treatment out there, can they be removed permanently? How effective present treatments work on different types of scarring? Do they work only on the surface or do they work deep within my skin? These are the type of questions you may have on your mind. Here we try to address them on this page and throughout this site.

First identify your facial acne scar? What type of scars you have? Is it hypertrophic or ice-pick scars? (You can find out more about scars types at the opposite column). Is it the consequence of acne lesions or consequence of an injury or some accidents? Scars resulted from acne is mostly limited to scarring with decreased skin tissue (atrophic acne scarring), which means there is nothing raised or lobulated (tissue formation increased) there; it's more of a pitted appearance like an orange surface.

The second question you should have an answer for is where it 's located? Is it on your face or your body? Body scarring tends to respond more slowly to most skin resurfacing methods. One obvious reason is that microcirculation of facial skin is more likely to be robust compare to that of rest of the body.

Third question, how deep they are? The deeper they are, the less chance of improvement? That is not true. No matter how deep they are, you shouldn't be discouraged to seek for a treatment. With the aid of present modalities your overall skin appearance can be improved significantly. They will get better and your skin can change. However, you should keep your expectation in a realistic jurisdiction. Complete eradication of body or face scars may not be feasible using present treatments.

Now if you made your mind to treat acne scarring, which one suits you better? There are many factors you should consider. Among the most important ones are recovery period, cost, skin type, an at home regimen as oppose to an office procedure. Can you stay home for three four weeks after a procedure at a plastic surgeon office? For how long I've been having these scars? Ongoing treatments versus one-time procedures? Which one works better? Does the result of office removal procedures last longer? Is the result permanent? These are the type of questions you may have for at a dermatologist or a plastic surgeon. See also frequently asked questions page.

Some scarring can get healed on their own. Spontaneous restoration of hypertrophic lesions is sometimes seen. Wait at least six to twelve months to see how your skin can heal itself. The truth is most available facial treatments work through skin resurfacing, renewing your skin by removing top layer of the skin. The result could be different though. One factor that especially affect the result is individual's skin type. Interestingly, individual's skin type can make you a better candidate for certain procedure. Most of these treatments even retinoid creams act on epidermis, removing the top layer of the skin, their influence on dermis, the second top layer, if there is any, is minimal. Arrangement of extracellular fibers has been impaired as a result of work of skin's healing mechanisms in response to an injury. Disorderly reorganization of extracellular fibers is clearly noted. Rearranging these haphazardly-arranged collagen fibers in dermis is not something most procedures/treatments can achieve. There are some hopes in that regard using Vitamin C serums enriched with antioxidants, however, the net result is not very promising, especially when they are used alone. Having said all that, should I treat acne scarring? Our answer is yes, we understand the amount of distress scars can bring to your life and we are here to help. We believe, deep facial acne scarring may not be relieved entirely, however, their appearance could be improved. Your face can experience smoothness, vitality and a healthy glow. Simultaneously, appearance of deep facial scarring could be overwhelmed by epidermis uniformity and integrity.
