Part 2: Top Surgery Scar Care - Advanced Topical Scar Treatment
If you ask 10 people for their advice about how to care for your Top Surgery incisions to reduce scarring, you'll get 10 different answers. Topical silicone is the #1 recommended form of scar management by healthcare professionals, so that's a good place to start, but what if you want to take your scar care to the next level?
Dr. Javad Sajan, aka RealDrSeattle on Instagram, has helped develop a scar treatment protocol for his Top Surgery patients that includes custom formulated gels and creams. Those looking for an advanced approach to scar care will find Dr. Sajan's protocol worth a closer look.
Dr. Sajan helped create his scar care products so that his patients get the best follow-up care and scar treatment after their Top Surgery. Scar Protocol Skin Care line for Top Surgery includes:
Phase I - Used daily for the first month. Phase I starts treating your scar with a healthy dose of aloe vera and vitamin E to moisturize and cleanse the incision scar. This exclusive blend of ingredients helps promote healing, initial epithelialization and minimizes inflammation. Phase I's formulation offers anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants for healthy healing.
Phase II – Used after Phase I, daily for 8 weeks. Phase II consists of allantoin, glycerin, and aloe which helps keep the incision scar moisturized. Phase II's scar cream formula uses powerful ingredients to help support an environment for healing.
Phase III - Used after phase II, daily for 8 weeks. Phase III uses purified snail mucin. In combination with other natural ingredients, snail mucin is an ingredient commonly found in skincare products.
Phase IV - Used after phase III, daily for 12 weeks. The Phase IV cream targets uses ingredients such as tocopherol, salix alba, and coco oil to prepare the scar for the final phase.
Phase V - Used after phase III, daily for 12 weeks. Phase V of Scar Protocol is the retinol cream. This final phase of our incision scar system helps provide the optimal environment for the last stage of healing in the first year. It wraps up the Scar Protocol system.
Dr. Sajan reports that they are seeing very good results with patients who have followed the scar treatment regimen.
