Fade Keloids and Scars Naturally
What is a scar?
A scar is the body's natural way of healing and replacing lost or damaged skin and is usually composed of fibrous tissue. Scars may be formed for many different reasons, including as a result of infections, surgery, injuries or inflammation of tissue.
What is a keloid?
A keloid scar is when a scar keeps growing and becomes bigger than the original wound. It can happen if you have too much of a substance called collagen in your skin. It can happen after any sort of injury or damage to your skin such as a cut, burn, surgery, acne or a body piercing.
It is advisable to seek medical attention if a scar is swollen or painful; if a scar feels warm to the touch or if a scar has a discharge of pus.
How do you know that you have a scar?
A scar may appear flat, lumpy, sunken, or colored. It may be painful or itchy. The final look of a scar depends on many factors, including the skin type and location on the body, the direction of the wound, the type of injury, age of the person with the scar, and his or her nutritional status. If you have a darker skin, any scar will often appear as dark spots.
How do you know that you have a keloid?
Keloid scars are raised above the skin and can be pink, red, the same color or darker than surrounding skin. In addition, they are often itchy or painful. They might well restrict movement (a) when they are tight or (b) if they are situated close to a joint.
Other signs of a keloid include:
- Thick, irregular scarring, typically on the ear lobes, shoulders, cheeks or middle chest.
- Shiny, hairless, lumpy and raised skin.
- The scar can vary in texture - from soft to firm and rubbery.
- The scar can vary in color from reddish, brown or purplish. The color can also depend on your own skin color.
- The scar can be itchy and cause discomfort.
What can you do when you have a scar or a keloid?
Here are two procedures...
But we have a 100% natural solution!
Our H-Scars Formula is safe, gentle and effective in reducing the appearance of many different scars including older scars but at the same time will promote a healthy skin tone.
The Formula has cell regenerating and skin nourishing properties and is applied topically, directly to the scar using a Q-Tip or your finger.
Because the Formula is concentrated - and has a deep penetrating action - only a few drops per application are necessary.
How quickly can you expect scars or keloids to fade?
While the process varies from person to person depending on the severity of the scars, it is important to note that the Formula can be used for fresh healed wounds which will help to reduce their appearance before they occur.
If you have old scars and the Formula is applied as instructed, results are usually visible after six to eight weeks while new scars can be some four to eight weeks. Keeping up with applying the Formula means that results will further improve with time.
Some additional tips to help
- Try to keep your scar covered when you're in the sun for at least a year, wearing a covering of clothing or even applying a dressing. You could also use a natural sunblock to protect it.
- Skin camouflage can be achieved with special creams and powders that you can apply to your skin to cover your scar so it's less noticeable.
