Clearascar – scar gel solution

Clearascar is a scar gel solution made of naturally occurring silicones making up 100% silicone. It is the ONLY 100% SILICONE containing scar solution in the market. Silicone is clinically proven to improve the appearance of scars by lightening, flattening, and softening mature (old) and immature (new) scars. It can improve the appearance of all types of scars most especially the elevated scars such as Hypertrophic scars and Keloids. (Hypertrophic scars are red and raised scars usually caused by burns, surgeries, injuries, and wounds) It has its limitations in depressed scars ie. Atrophic scars, Deep Acne scars, and stretch marks.

Clearascar may be applied to the face as it is non-comedogenic which means it will not block your pores. It is safe to be used on on sensitive skin and sensitive areas of the body. It is is safe to be used by pregnant and breastfeeding women, and children. While Clearascar is made of silicone which does not get absorbed into the blood stream, it is always best to consult your doctor before using any topical creams during pregnancy and lactation.

In using the Clearascar, make sure that the wound has completely closed – no scabs or raw areas and that the affected area is clean and dry. Apply a very thin layer to the affected area 1 to 2 times a day. Do not massage the gel into the area. Allow the gel to dry completely for about 2 to 3 minutes. Once dry you may cover the area with pressure garments, sunblock or cosmetics.

You may use Clearascar for a minimum of 3 months or until you no longer see an improvement in your scar. Large or older scars may take longer to improve. Results will show in as little as 8 weeks but it is best to use the product at a minimum of 3 months or until you no longer see an improvement in the scar. Each scar is different and may need to be treated longer especially large, extremely dark and very old scars.

Clearascar is available in all leading drugstores nationwide. The suggested retail price is P418.95 for the 6g and P761.20 for the 15g which makes it more affordable than other scar solutions in the market.

Novuhair Summer Hair Care Tips

Heading to the beach may be the most exciting part of summer. It is almost always part of the itinerary this season for most people. Others prefer to give in to their adrenaline rush climbing that mountain slope or just about anything that gets you that summer tan to fit in the crowd.

Did you know that spending extended hours under the extreme summer sun can pose serious danger to your hair and scalp? The same UV rays that brings damage to your skin without proper protection can equally hurt your hair and scalp.

Below are some of the problems your hair can encounter during the season:

  • Split-Ends – UV rays and extreme high temperature can take their toll on your strands. The heat drains the moisture of your hair out causing breakage.
  • Double Trouble – Rebonded or permed hair needs extra attention as high temperature well as humidity disrupts the cuticle breaking some of the chemical bonds that keep the hair straight or curls and roughing up the cuticle, taking away shine and smoothness.
  • Scalp problem – Scalp may also get sun-burned if you don’t use cover-ups for your head.
  • Grease problem – Summer sun and humidity can bring extra grease on your hair, leaving it vulnerable to damage.
  • Chlorine Stress – Swimming in the pool subjects your hair to chlorine.  The outer layers of the cuticle of the hair opens up when you swim and chlorinated water seeps into the center of the hair thus making your hair more brittle.
  • Excessive Salt Water – Salt water can cause the same damage as chlorinated ones. Salt water dries on the hair it creates a high-saline solution which can build up and cause hair to feel dry, weighed down and hard to manage.

All these problem can be addressed by keeping your hair clean and showered after each activities. Take vitamin supplements that benefits you hair such as Vitamin C and Biotin. Getting your hair pampered will also give respite to the sun and chemical abuse.
