Skinuva Scar
-
Skinuva Scar is a physician designed and clinically tested scar cream that uses highly selective growth factors within a silicone cream matrix to help improve the appearance of scars.
Unlike other scar products on the market, Skinuva Scar is the only one that uses selective growth factors and other ingredients that have been shown to help improve the appearance of scars using peer-reviewed medical literature.
Rigorous clinical studies have shown that Skinuva Scar improves the appearance of scars nearly 2x more effective when compared to silicone cream.
-
Growth factors are messenger proteins that are inherent in our bodies and play a role in maintaining healthy skin. Rather than just including a whole mix of growth factors in our scar formulation, we selected specific growth factors (hence the meaning, selective growth factors) that we believe have been shown to help improve the appearance of scars.* There are many different growth factors available, but our formulation includes only synthetic (not human or animal derived) growth factors that have been specifically selected for use in Skinuva Scar based on their mechanism of action. These growth factors, along with our other ingredients like silicone, centella asiatica, and vitamin C, have shown to be very effective in minimizing the appearance of scars. All the growth factors used in our products are INCI registered under cosmetic peptides.
-
After a wound has closed, the scar may take up to 1 or even 2 years to fully mature. Although Skinuva Scar can be used on scars of any age, it is within the first 12 months of the scar’s healing phase that Skinuva Scar provides optimal benefits.
-
We have found that the silicone and other ingredients remain on the skin for approximately 12 hours, and hence twice a day application is an adequate treatment. We are not aware of any increased efficacy if applied more than 2 times per day.
-
Skinuva Scar has undergone repeat insult patch testing (RIPT) in 60 test subjects and found to have no allergic issues. In our two clinical studies (Study 1 and Study 2), over 205 scars were evaluated, and no issues of skin reactions or intolerability were noted.* However, if you experience excessive redness, itching or intolerance associated with the product, immediately stop using it and consult with your doctor.
-
Yes, as long as it is not directly placed in the eyes, it has been tested to be safe to be applied to eyelid incisions.*
Skinuva Brite
-
Skinuva Brite is a revolutionary product tailored to help improve hyperpigmentation, and it is a NON-HYDROQUINONE product, so it is safe and effective for long term, daily use. There has been a recent consumer demand for safe and effective products that are non-hydroquinone based, and Skinuva Brite's ingredients have been hand-picked from medical literature and our clinical data to give our consumers the most advanced and effective product for helping to reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation while being safe. Skinuva Brite has been dermatologically tested and is safe to use around the eyes.
-
We have not included sunscreen/SPF in our formula. However, sunscreen/SPF can be applied on top of Skinuva Brite. We have specifically formulated a brightening cream that allows the user to safely apply sunblock on top of Skinuva Brite.
-
Skinuva Brite has undergone repeat insult patch testing (RIPT) in 60 test subjects and found to have no allergic issues. In our two clinical studies (Study 1 and Study 2), 218 patients were evaluated, and no issues of skin reactions or intolerability were noted.*
However, if you experience excessive redness, itching or intolerance associated with the product, immediately stop using it and consult with your doctor.
-
Yes, as long as it is not directly placed in the eyes, it has been tested to be safe to be applied on the eyelids.
-
Skinuva Brite has been formulated and prepared as a moisturizer. It does not dry your skin out after use. You may apply your other skin care products on top of Skinuva® Brite if desired, but they are not necessary. Sunscreen and cosmetics may be applied on top of Skinuva Brite. A cleanser may also be used prior to its application if desired.
Skinuva Bruise
-
Skinuva Bruise uses a “safe” version of Arnica which is the homeopathic version that has been used for hundreds of years within homeopathic medicine for pain, swelling, and post procedural recovery. The FDA does not allow and warns against any oral use of pure Arnica that is NOT homeopathic, as the pure form has been associated with systemic problems such as GI upset, nausea, and other adverse reactions.
-
Veggie capsules are easier to swallow and are faster acting with a higher drug absorption. (i.e., A lot more of the capsule is able to be absorbed).
-
Skinuva Bruise does not need to be taken with food and can be taken with other medications, but please check with your doctor for any specific interactions or concerns.
-
Arnica has no effect on bleeding, a large study completed on cardiac patients after aortic valve replacement surgery found no differences in bleeding between groups that received Arnica 5C and those that didn’t (Cornu et al). (Arnica 5C is nearly 2 x more concentrated than 30X). In addition, Arnica was found to be safe for use in cosmetic surgeries and injectables.
Skinuva Scar+ SPF
-
Zinc Oxide can be found in different particle sizes, and traditionally, the larger particle sizes would be effective but leave a white pasty residue after application. However, smaller particle-based Zinc Oxide, such as nano-Zinc Oxide, can be potentially absorbed in the skin. Non-nano Zinc Oxide is the recommended type of Zinc Oxide, as recent advancements have reduced the pasty residue effect seen post application. This is the type of Zinc Oxide found in Skinuva Scar+ SPF.
-
Skinuva Scar+ SPF is an SPF 30. This means that it blocks 97% of all UVB radiation. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a sunscreen that is SPF 30 or higher, and broad-spectrum UVA and UVB rays.
-
Photoaging is injury to skin after prolonged and repeated exposure to ultraviolet radiation which is primarily from the sun but also can be from artificial UV light. Skinuva Scar+ SPF has SPF 30 Zinc Oxide mineral sunscreen, which can help prevent photoaging in treated areas by acting as a physical sunscreen.
-
Zinc Oxide helps protect skin from sun damage by reflecting and absorbing UVA and UVB rays and is well documented for its anti-inflammatory properties which can help skin that is undergoing healing.
Zinc Oxide also has reported anti-microbial properties. A prior study showed a reduction of developing bacterial infection with the use of topical Zinc Oxide.
Furthermore, Zinc itself is known for its ability to control excess oil through its astringent properties when applied topically. It can be beneficial to those with oily skin by helping to maintain the oil balance and decrease the risk of breakouts.
