The Causes Of Scars

A scar is the evidence that your body’s natural healing process is at work. 
A scars generally are the result of a wound healing or a breach of the skin.  Scars form as a result of disease, burns, bumps and bruises, abrasions, insect bites, acne, body piercing, surgical and laser procedures, accidents, and some scars form even at sites where the skin is not broken at the surface.  Regardless of the original cause or age of your scar, if it is an active scar, Scar Less™ Generation III Topical Gel helps to speed the process along and leave the least visible result.

Skin Damage
When skin is damaged, the immune system immediately responds to fight off infection.  

Immune System
Your immune system is made up of billions of white blood cells, lymphocytes, antibodies, and special organs. 


Inflammation
If infection causing micro-organisms get past initial defenses, the body produces inflammation, along with other reactions such as fever, designed to conquer the unwelcome invaders.  Inflammation causes an increase in the local blood supply so that large numbers of white blood cells can be brought to the area to fight the infection.

Active Scar Types
Most physicians will advise you to expect a scar to be actively healing for up to 2 years while the immune system completes its work.  The type of scar that forms can depend on a variety of factors including the nature of the injury, the part of the body and the size and depth of the wound.  Scars mostly consist of a protein called collagen, which is the most common tissue in the body.  Scars known as hypertrophic and Keloid scars are caused by an excessive buildup of collagen and can cause great discomfort due to restricted movement, itching, dryness and distress. Keloid scars are caused by collagen deposits that extend beyond the boundaries of the wound and are larger than the actual size of the wound, raised and unattractive.  Your immune system may remain active at the site of a Keloid scar for 30 years or more.

If you have suffered a painful injury and you are worried that you will be left with  an unsightly scar that may take years to resolve, don't worry...

 

SCAR LESS™ Generation III Topical Gel can help.

A simple application of SCAR LESS™ Generation III Topical Gel twice per day gives you the ultimate protective barrier allowing swift resolution of scars.

           JMM Medical....Active scars may appear to be indented, raised up above the surrounding tissue, feel hard or lumpy, are discolored (red, pink, purple, darker than the normal surrounding tissue).  The unassisted process of maturing this type of scar may take from 1 to 30 years.  Clinical studies indicate that topical silicone preparations such as ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel have been shown to significantly shorten the process of maturing scar tissue in up to 90% of the cases studied.  ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel may be used to reduce the visibility of scars on skin damaged by burns, cuts, abrasions, surgical procedures, acne scars, insect bites and stretch marks.  Noticeable flattening, softening and reduction in redness (erythema) of the scar may be seen in as little as 2 to 3 weeks of use.  When ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel is applied to a scar within 7 to 14 days after a surgery it has been shown to reduce the build up of hypertrophic or Keloid scar tissue.  Consult with your physician before using ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel.
