When can you start to apply a scar cream?
At what point can you start to apply a scar cream? The answer: as soon as your wound has healed and the skin is closed.
Start as soon as this has happened and you will minimise the chance of scar formation.
Why should you start applying scar cream early?
When your skin is damaged, your body begins the natural healing process. However, your skin may benefit from additional support to encourage optimal recovery.
Scars often develop because the skin can no longer retain moisture – the natural barrier that seals in hydration has been lost. Yet, moisture is essential for healthy skin regeneration. The more severe the wound, the more support your skin may need. Burns, surgical wounds, and other deeper injuries are more likely to result in visible scarring without appropriate care.
A well-formulated scar cream helps in two ways:
- It hydrates the skin.
- It helps prevent moisture loss by forming a temporary protective barrier.
This can support the skin’s natural recovery process and may improve the overall appearance of the scar.
The next question is therefore:
What is considered a good scar cream?
There are many creams available that aim to support the appearance of healing scars. ALHYDRAN scar cream is one such product, used widely to hydrate and protect damaged skin.
- ALHYDRAN has been evaluated in clinical settings.
- A high percentage of users report recommending it to others.
When choosing a scar cream, look for products designed to both hydrate the skin and support the skin barrier — especially after burns, surgery, or injury.
