Dermatix® FAQs:

1. For which type of scars is Dermatix® suitable?

Dermatix works best on elevated scars (hypertrophic and keloid) not older than two years. It is suitable to be applied on the face and any part of the body.

2. Can I use Dermatix® to help avoid scars?

If the skin has been ruptured you cannot avoid a scar, but you can make it less visible. You can start using Dermatix® once the wound is closed.

3. Can Dermatix® completely remove a scar?

It is not possible to make the scar "invisible". Dermatix® will, however, markedly improve the appearance of scars - lighten, flatten, soften.

4. How long should I use Dermatix® for?

Studies have shown that Dermatix® works most effectively if it is in constant contact with the scar - so be sure to use Dermatix® in the morning and at night as part of your daily routine for a minimum of two months. Further benefits may result from extended use.

5. Is Dermatix® skin-friendly?

Dermatix® is kind to the skin and is suitable for use on sensitive skin. It has been used safely for several decades in professional scar care. Dermatix® is also safe for use in children above one year.

6. Are there any precautions?

Dermatix® is for external use only and should not be applied to open or fresh wounds, placed in contact with mucous membranes or too close to the eyes. Dermatix® should not be applied over antibiotic skin preparations or other skin treatments or products.

7. How does Dermatix® lighten scars?

Dermatix® acts as a barrier to bacteria. It is the body's reaction to bacteria that causes the darkness or redness as it sends more white blood cells to the damaged site. When bacteria no longer penetrate the affected site, the extra white blood cells are no longer needed and the color returns to normal.

8. How else can I take care of my scar?

Scars, especially fresh ones, should not be exposed to extreme temperature (intense sunshine, sunbeds, saunas and extreme cold). Tight clothing should also be avoided; it irritates or injures the scar tissue. Care should be taken during stretching and strengthening exercises because the skin, which has already been damaged, is extremely sensitive.
