How to treat a fresh scar: The most effective way to support skin healing
When you’ve just had surgery, a cut, or a burn, your skin begins to repair itself immediately. But how you care for that fresh scar can make all the difference in how it heals, and how visible it will be in the long run. In this article, we’ll explain how to treat a fresh scar effectively, why hydration is key, and how ALHYDRAN scar cream can help.
Why scar care matters from day one
A fresh scar is part of your body’s natural healing process. But without the right care, it can become raised, red, or more visible than necessary. If you want to reduce the risk of thick or visible scarring, it is best to start treatment as soon as the wound has closed.
Caring for a scar early helps the skin heal more comfortably and supports a smoother scar recovery.
The key to fresh scar treatment: deep hydration
So, how do you treat a fresh scar effectively? It starts with one powerful, simple principle: hydration.
When your skin is damaged, it loses its natural ability to retain moisture. The broken skin barrier allows water to evaporate quickly, leaving the skin underneath dry, tight, and itchy. This cycle can continue endlessly unless you step in.

What can happen if the skin stays dry:
- Dry, irritated, or itchy skin
- A tight, pulling sensation
- Risk of damage from scratching
- Slower healing and more visible scars
Your skin needs moisture not just on the surface, but deep within its layers. And it needs help holding onto that moisture. That’s where a good scar treatment cream comes in.
Why ordinary moisturisers may not be enough
Many moisturisers claim to help with scars. But without a moisture-locking barrier, water still evaporates, and the skin continues to dry out from within.
ALHYDRAN scar cream is different. It offers two essential benefits in one:
- Deep hydration: It penetrates into the lower layers of the skin to provide lasting moisture.
- Moisture barrier: It creates a protective layer that prevents evaporation, keeping the hydration locked in.

When should you start using a scar cream?
You can start using ALHYDRAN once the wound is fully closed. This is usually after stitches are removed or when a scab has fallen off naturally. Starting early gives the skin the best chance to heal with minimal scarring.
