o Surgical scars: scars become softer, reddening and itching disappear more quickly, enlargement and elevation of the scar is counteracted.
• Preparation
o You can start treatment after the wound has been completely closed and the stitches removed.
o Do not apply to open wounds as these impede the drainage of wound water.
