Allantoin created synthetically in the lab is what is used in make skin care products on the market today. Granted, Mederma does help hydrate the skin, which is vital for wound-repair. But wound hydration can easily be achieved through a number of other methods. There is nothing that stands out with Mederma as an effective scar treatment solution. And in numerous studies that can be found online, including statements published by the American Academy of Dermatology AAD , onion extract has not been found to improve scar appearance.
Scars treated with onion extract versus a common store-bought emollient, like petroleum jelly, seem to have the same effects on scar height, itchiness, and erythema redness.
Medical grade silicone is a safe and effective topical solution to scar management backed by over 30 years of clinical studies. Silicone gel sheeting works by inducing hydration at the stratum corneum and regulating collagen production at the wound site. Because silicone is semi-permeable, it permits an appropriate amount of oxygen to envelop the scar bed while preventing moisture loss, which occurs excessively in damaged skin.
The balance of moisture and oxygen facilitated by silicone gel sheeting creates an optimal wound-repair environment, otherwise known as homeostasis. By encapsulating moisture at the scar site, keratinocyte and fibroblast cells in the dermis middle layer of the skin are signaled to scale back collagen production. This helps to soften and flatten scars that would otherwise become raised and lumpy from collagen overproduction, often a natural but undesirable part of wound-healing.
Medical grade silicone comes in a variety of unique forms including gel sheets, ointments, and sticks. Ask your surgeon if silicone gel sheeting is right for you, or explore products at biodermis.
