Practical Scar Care Wound Healing and Scarring Scar Info

Avosil scar care gel is a new formulation for scars. Avosil contains a safe aspirin derivaive with anti-inflammatory activity in a water soluble medium. Avosil scar care gel improves the comfort and appearance of scars resulting from surgery, radiation, injury or burns. In addition, Avosil is a highly effective moisturizer with antioxidant properties. Avosil was developed in collaboration with clinicians and scientists at leading medical centers in the USA. Avosil is not a plant extract: all ingredients are known, carefully chosen, tested, extensively references in scientific and medical literature, and safety is well established.

Avosil was formulated over many years in collaboration with leading scar experts. Topical or injectable steroids have been the accepted medical therapy for treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scarring for past four decades. Steroids have not become routine in post trauma or post-surgical medical care because of side effects. Instead, steroids are used to treat scars that have become problematic. Therefore, Avosil gives you the benefits of decreased inflammation, traditionally delivered by steroids, but with little or no side effects.

Avosil Tubes Picture

Avosil is best used after surgery or trauma. It should be used on closed wounds after repitheliazation has occurred. It is used one or twice daily, applied to the incision for 6-8 weeks. The reduction in signs of inflammation and the reduction in pain around the incision is readily noted soon after application. Unlike atrenal corticosteroids, Avosil does not produce hypopigmentation or fat atrophy. Avosil has been found to be effective in many post-burn and post-operative patients.
