Scarguard MD® Treatment  

"My scar is thick, raised and unsightly"

Scarguard MD® was the idea of a plastic surgeon who realized that even doctors don't have total control of the healing process. Some people will heal very well with little scarring while others will not be that fortunate.
Finally, this problem has been solved. The patented scar treatment is the only product that combines four treatments into an easy-to-use product. Scarguard MD® is a liquid that is easy to apply and dries quickly to a nearly invisible protective film.
There are thousands of dermatologists and plastic surgeons nationwide using it for the treatment of scars after surgery, after injuries and on old scars as well. They know Scarguard really works

How do Scars form?

When our skin is damaged many cells come to the rescue! Some cleanup, others make collagen to fill the cut. The collagen is like cement filling the space between two bricks, only this cement has to fill the gap and move at the same time!  Nature has handled this by intentionally making too much collagen and melting some of it as we heal. If we don't melt enough of it in this natural process of molding, a thick scar results.

What makes Scarguard MD® work?

Covering the scar. This was the original treatment and for a long time, the only approach to the problem.

Topical silicone is the basis of most scar treatments that doctors have recommended since the early 1980's. An ingredient in makeup, hair spray and many other products that we use every day, doctors believe it is safe and effective in improving scar appearance.

Cortisone has many beneficial effects. A component of many non-prescription products for skin conditions such as eczema and sunburns, it is a known anti-irritant, helping reduce the discomfort often associated with scarring.

Vitamin E is an oil-based vitamin.  It helps soften the scar as a moisturizer and lubricant.  Many doctors believe that it is helpful in improving the appearance of scars.

Doctors have recommended covering, silicone, cortisone, and vitamin E for decades. Until now, they were so difficult to use that patients quit before seeing the benefit. Scarguard MD® combines all of them into an easy to use clear liquid. Painted on overgrown scars it dries within seconds to a nearly invisible flexible film. When used daily, it helps improve the appearance of scars.
