The extract of Allium Cepa is one of the special components of the Mederma scar-care formula and is contained in the topical gel in order to help with the appearance and texture of scars.
Allantoin is included since it can condition the skin and soothe it, and it also helps to retain moisture and guarantee comfort of the skin in the area treated with the gel.
Sodium Hyaluronate is an ingredient that binds moisture, helps to maintain hydration and also contributes to giving the skin a softer feel.
D-Panthenol is included in the formulation as a skin-conditioning ingredient so that it may help to hydrate the skin and also contribute to ensuring the comfort of the skin which has been treated.
Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel is intended for use as a topical treatment of both old and new scars, the product being designed for scars caused by injury, burns, surgical operations, acne and cuts.
Looking after scars consistently can over time lead to an improvement in how scarred skin looks, feels and has texture. But the results will vary depending on factors such as the age, size, position, type of scar and the individual's skin characteristics.
You must use the Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel only once the wound has healed.
Apply the gel to the scar and then, by making small circular movements, gently work it into the skin until it has been absorbed. Begin with massaging from the middle of the scar and then slowly move outwards.
The product's instructions say that it should be used once every day, and you are required to adhere to the instructions that are included with the product by not applying it to a wound which is open or has not healed.
Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel is intended for external use and must not be applied to open wounds or to places that have not fully closed.
Don't touch the eyes or any other sensitive areas and if there is serious or continuous irritation stop using the product and obtain professional advice if necessary.
People's reactions can vary, and it would be a good idea to carry out a patch test on a small area before starting regular use, in particular when it comes to sensitive skin.
The gel has a consistency which is not greasy and is water-based, and it is meant to be spread over the scar so that it can be absorbed by the skin; regular application in keeping with the instructions on the product can be incorporated as part of a daily routine for looking after scars.
When the tube is not being used make certain that it is properly closed and keep and handle the product in accordance with the conditions printed on the package, ensuring that it is out of the reach of children.
The scar treatment product Mederma is available in India through Win Medicare/Win Healthcare, and the current official product information names G S Pharmbutor Private Limited as the manufacturer of the 10 g Mederma Advanced Plus Scar Gel.
