Scar Care

The main task of effective scar care, in addition to supporting the natural healing process and minimizing the appearance of scars, is to accelerate the maturation of scars. Rapid maturation can help reduce the risk of hypertrophic scarring and promote the restoration of a smooth, elastic skin texture. Additionally, protecting scars from harmful rays such as UV light, blue light, and infrared radiation is crucial to avoid hyperpigmentation. Comprehensive protection helps improve the color and texture of scars and ensures even skin pigmentation.

Fresh scars are particularly delicate and susceptible to irritation, inflammation, and pigment shifts, which is why they require particularly gentle and supportive care. At DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, we place great importance on the careful selection of ingredients in our scar care products. Our goal is to provide scar care that is specifically tailored to the needs of sensitive and freshly healed skin areas, promoting healing and minimizing the risk of unsightly scarring.

Therefore, we consistently avoid using irritating or controversially discussed additives (Clean Beauty). The skin is the largest organ of the human body. Depending on the body location, it can be thicker, thinner, more sensitive, or more resilient. Facial skin is significantly more delicate than body skin, which is why we offer two different scar care sets. We formulate our scar care products to improve the appearance of scars while also supporting the skin in its natural healing process without causing unnecessary stress. With DOC.BERGER | EFFECT's scar care products, you choose care that offers a balanced combination of effectiveness and skin compatibility. Facial scars can occur for various reasons, whether due to injuries, surgeries, or skin conditions. In any case, proper care is crucial to minimize the appearance of scars and promote skin health.

Support of the body's natural skin regeneration: The included ingredients promote natural skin regeneration and help improve the appearance of scars on the face and body.

Protection from harmful environmental influences: The vulnerable skin around scars must be consistently protected from harmful environmental factors such as UV light, blue light, and infrared radiation to avoid hyperpigmentation.

Stimulation of collagen production: High-quality scar care products can stimulate the skin's collagen production, leading to better skin texture and making scars less noticeable.

Reduction of excessive scarring after surgery: Especially after surgical procedures, proper care is crucial to minimize the formation of unsightly scars. High-quality scar creams can accelerate the maturation process of scars.

Minimization of skin irritation: The skin around scars is particularly sensitive. Our high-quality products do not contain critically discussed or irritating additives to reduce the risk of unnecessary irritation.

High-quality scar care products are an important part of scar maturation, especially when it comes to improving the appearance of facial scars and promoting skin health. At DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, we offer a range of effective scar care products for the face and body to minimize the visibility of your scars as much as possible.

The careful selection of the right active ingredients in scar care is crucial to effectively treat facial and body scars and minimize their visibility. At DOC.BERGER | EFFECT, we rely on a targeted combination of high-quality ingredients to achieve optimal results. Here are some of our highlight ingredients:

Retinol: Retinol is a key element in scar care as it accelerates the skin regeneration process and stimulates collagen production, leading to improved scar texture and a reduction in hyperpigmentation. By promoting cell turnover, retinol helps make scars flatter and less visible while ensuring a more even skin tone. Careful application along with a high-quality sunscreen is essential to protect the skin during treatment and achieve the best results.

For facial scar care, we recommend our Retinol Serum 0.3, and for body scar care, the stronger Retinol Serum 1.0.

Vitamin E: Vitamin E plays an important role in scar care by offering multiple healing-promoting properties. Its moisturizing and antioxidant properties support skin healing and protect fresh scars from environmental damage. It promotes skin repair and can improve the appearance of scars by reducing inflammation and encouraging collagen formation. The careful integration of vitamin E into scar care can help improve skin elasticity and make scars less visible.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an essential component of effective scar care, known for its ability to accelerate skin regeneration and improve the appearance of scars. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin C supports collagen production, which is crucial for skin repair and firmness. It also helps reduce hyperpigmentation by brightening the skin and ensuring a more even skin tone. Regular use of scar care products with vitamin C on fresh scars on the face and body can significantly contribute to minimizing scars.

Biobotox: Biobotox (Spilantol), derived from the paracress plant, plays an innovative role in scar care by relaxing the skin and mitigating visible signs of skin aging. Its muscle-relaxing effect can help smooth the appearance of scars, especially in dynamic skin areas like the face, where facial movements can deepen lines. Additionally, Spilantol promotes skin elasticity and firmness, supports regeneration, and thus helps improve skin texture and make scars less noticeable. Integrating Spilantol into scar care products is an advanced approach to effective and visible skin improvement.

Panthenol: Panthenol, also known as provitamin B5, is an essential active ingredient in scar care that penetrates deeply into the skin to provide intensive moisture and promote skin regeneration. Its healing properties support the formation of new skin cells, contributing to faster and more effective scar healing. Panthenol has anti-inflammatory effects, soothes redness and irritation, and improves skin elasticity and smoothness, which can significantly reduce the appearance of scars. Regular use of scar care products with panthenol is key to healthy, resilient skin and minimizing scars.

Hyaluronic Acid: Hyaluronic acid is a crucial component of scar care, renowned for its exceptional moisturizing properties. This powerful substance helps deeply hydrate and plump the skin, which is essential for healing and a smooth appearance. By promoting optimal hydration, hyaluronic acid supports skin elasticity and structure, helping to minimize the appearance of scars. Incorporating hyaluronic acid into scar care products can accelerate skin regeneration and provide a smoother, more supple skin appearance, making scars less visible.

Lingostem: Lingostem, an innovative plant-based active ingredient derived from lingonberry stem cells, plays an increasingly important role in scar care by offering antioxidant protection and the ability to protect the skin from harmful environmental influences such as UV rays, blue light, and infrared light. This protective function is crucial to prevent hyperpigmentation around the scar areas and support skin healing. Lingostem also promotes the regeneration of skin cells, improves skin elasticity, and strengthens the skin barrier, which together can significantly improve the appearance of scars. Integrating Lingostem into scar care products thus provides a comprehensive approach to healthy, resilient skin and minimizes the risk of new scar formation.

Our carefully designed scar care sets, consisting of the "Perfect Scar Support Face" and the "Perfect Scar Support Body," offer a targeted solution to minimize the appearance of your scars and revitalize your skin after severe skin injuries such as acne, burns, cuts, surgical procedures, or other causes.

The highly effective ingredients in these sets are specifically tailored to the needs of your face and body. For the face, we use Retinol Serum 0.3 to promote cell renewal, support the healing process, and reduce pigmentation spots. For the body, we use the stronger Retinol Serum 1.0.

Our Vit C + Biobotox Serum is enriched with antioxidants and protects your skin from harmful free radicals. It also helps prevent the formation of dark spots.

While your scars are still active, protection from UV radiation is essential. Our Anti-Pollution Day Cream Mini provides this protection and should be used after each application of the Vit C + Biobotox Serum.
