From the Research
DermaMend's key ingredients, including silicone and vitamins, particularly vitamin E, have been shown to be effective in improving skin health and reducing the appearance of scars, as supported by studies such as 1 and 2. The formulation of DermaMend is designed to create a protective environment that supports the skin's natural healing process while providing essential nutrients.
- The combination of occlusive agents and emollients helps maintain skin hydration, which is crucial for proper healing.
- Vitamins, such as vitamin E, support skin cell regeneration and provide antioxidant benefits, as demonstrated in a study where vitamin E added to silicone gel sheets improved the treatment of hypertrophic scars and keloids 1.
- Other ingredients, such as botanical extracts, may be included for their soothing properties. The use of DermaMend is typically recommended for minor skin irritations, post-procedure care, and to help manage conditions like dermatitis or minor wounds.
- According to a systematic review with meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials, the combination of pressure therapy and silicone therapy may have potential benefits for height and pliability of hypertrophic scars 3.
- Additionally, a review of high-level studies analyzing methods to prevent or improve hypertrophic scars, keloids, and striae distensae found that silicone, tension reduction, and wound edge eversion have high efficacy in preventing hypertrophic scars 2.
