Absorbable ointments - a brief overview of the drugs.

Scars and scars on the skin do not stain anyone, especially if they are located in open areas of the body. The same can be said about bruises, with the only difference being that the latter go away on their own, absorbable ointments like “Bodyaga Forte” only accelerate the process.

When choosing a suitable product, you should be aware that in the case of deep and old scars, it does not make sense to use absorbable products. In such cases, only laser resurfacing or surgery will help.
As the main means of therapy, absorbable ointments are used only for small scars. For example, you have a great opportunity to get rid of acne traces in this way or from a small cut, scratch. However, in rare cases, instead of the expected decrease effect, proliferation of connective tissues and, as a consequence, an increase in the scar can be observed. In order to prevent this from happening, be sure to consult your doctor before starting treatment.

Silicone gels are considered one of the most modern and effective means in the treatment of scars and scars, including postoperative ones. Such as, for example, Strataderm. It has a moisturizing and softening effect on the skin, restores its elasticity, relieves tension and discomfort, eliminates itching. A thin film of silicone protects the scar from external damage and does not allow it to grow in size. Under its influence, the scars are smoothed out and become less noticeable. The course of treatment lasts at least two months to obtain a lasting result, it will take at least six months. Among the analogues of "Strataderm" can be called silicone gel "Zerader-ultra." The basis of such ointments is an inert silicone, which acts superficially, without exerting any side effect on the body.

The most popular and well-known absorbent ointment on the Russian market is Kontratubeks. It includes a number of components that enhance tissue regeneration and have an anti-inflammatory effect. One of the advantages of "Contratubex" ointment is experts consider its ability to penetrate into the deeper layers of the dermis. This effect is achieved due to hepatrin and extract from onions. Similar properties have the drug "Dermatics".

Another, no less high-quality remedy for removing scars and scars of various nature is Mederma ointment. As a result of its application, the scars become more elastic, their color approaches the color of the skin. Thus, the scars become less noticeable, the appearance improves. However, as mentioned earlier, a resolving ointment, such as Mederma, will help only with minor cosmetic problems, such as acne marks or scar after tattoo removal.

Although, one difficult task of Mederme is still within its power - it is restoration of connective tissue and elimination of stretch marks (stretch marks) on the skin.

Absorbable ointments based on sodium hepatrin are widely used not only to reduce scars and scars, but also to eliminate various hematomas. Most often, to reduce swelling at the site of injury, use "Troxevasin" or "Heparin" ointment, "Lyoton" gel.

Among natural remedies, the body-buck grass and preparations based on it are very popular. They are quite effective and inexpensive.
If desired, you can prepare absorbable ointments yourself. This will require a bulb, vegetable oil, beeswax (natural). First, the onion is peeled, cut into pieces and stewed in oil until completely softened. Then cool, remove excess oil, wipe through a sieve and mix one to one with melted wax. Store the obtained ointment in the refrigerator, heating in a water bath as needed.

If you are not comfortable using absorbable ointments for any reason, you can replace them with Mepiform.
