Treat your scars with Hansaplast‘s latest innovation—the clinically proven polyurethane Scar Reducer patch. This advanced solution visibly reduces the appearance of new and old raised and keloid scars within three to four weeks of consistent use. Every scar tells a story, but Hansaplast Scar Reducer helps make those scars lighter, flatter, and softer.
Hansaplast Scar Reducer
Research indicates that 91 per cent of patients who undergo routine surgical procedures seek improved scar appearance. The Hansaplast Scar Reducer patch meets this need by specifically targeting hypertrophic and keloid scars—raised, red scars that can extend beyond the original wound.
Clinically proven to be effective, the Scar Reducer patch employs a triple-action formula to make scars flatter, softer, and lighter. Its transparent polyurethane patch enhances hydration, increases temperature in the scar tissue, and stimulates the skin’s natural regeneration process, helping to reduce excessive collagen buildup. This non-invasive treatment minimises the visibility of both new and old hypertrophic and keloid scars, is safe for sensitive skin, and has no side effects. Noticeable results can appear within three to four weeks, with significant improvements after eight weeks of consistent use.
Keloid and Hypertrophic Scars
Such scars can both be itchy and painful, and keloid scars grow to be larger than the original wound. These are also shiny, thick and lumpy with a hard ridge. In addition, these scars often appear red on light-skinned people, and purplish-black on those with dark skin. Meanwhile, hypertrophic scars stay within the boundaries of the original wound without growing – sometimes they might even shrink after three to six months.
Most Effective Scar Reducer Product
Hence, Hansaplast launched their Scar Reducer patch, which is purely physical, to flatten, soften and lighten scars, including hypertrophic and keloid scars. Available in two sizes, the regular size is suitable for scar sizes of 3.8 by 6.8cm while the XL size is perfect for C-section scars. With 21 patches in the box, these are priced at $46.90 and $75.90.
How to Use the Hansaplast Scar Reducer
Start using the Hansaplast Scar Reducer when your wound has closed and healed completely and any sutures have been removed. Apply this to clean and dry skin. Wear the patch for at least 12 hours a day or night, and change daily. The polyurethane material is water-resistant and breathable, so it’s comfortable to wear.
Clinically Proven Results For Old Scars
Indeed, clinical studies have shown that scars treated with a self-adhesive polyurethane dressing, such as the Hansaplast Scar Reducer, have yielded significant clinical improvement. For example, the bulginess of the scar was reduced by 75.5 per cent, while redness and hardening improved by 88.2 and 88.8 per cent respectively. Results can be seen from three to four weeks. Continuing to use the patch after eight weeks may further improve the scar’s appearance. In contrast, it takes at least two to four months to see results in other scar reducing products in the market. These include silicone patches, gels or oils with various ingredients.
According to Wigger-Alberti et.al, they found that treating hypertrophic scars with a self-adhesive polyurethane dressing, such as Hansaplast Scar Reducer is safe and “results in significant clinical improvement”. Additionally, the polyurethane dressing “was better tolerated compared to the silicone sheet”.
Hansaplast Scar Reducer for C-Sections
Increasingly, more Singaporeans are opting for C-sections, from 32.2 per cent of childbirths in 2005 to 37.4 per cent in 2014. As a result, most mums would develop some form of scarring from the operation. While you enjoy motherhood post C-section, Hansaplast Scar Reducer XL can help flatten, lighten and soften the scar. Beiersdorf’s research also showed that 93 per cent of their respondents would recommend others to use this plaster.
Reviews of Hansaplast Scar Reducer
Mum of two Yaya Qing shared, “I really felt that this product was excellent in repairing and fading scars. After the first use, I felt my skin was smoother and more even after use!”
Likewise, Mum of one, and radio DJ Cynthia Tian shared, “I am a very clumsy person, and I have a lot of scars of varying sizes. Of these, the largest is at the back of the waist, a hypertrophic scar left by a minor surgery. Honestly, I don’t really mind its existence, but occasionally it will itch, which bothers me a lot. Over these two years, I’ve tried many types of scar-removing gels, without any obvious improvement. Hence, I was excited when I heard about Hansaplast’s new product.
Their Scar Reducer is not a silicone patch, but a more technologically advanced product using transparent polyurethane. Whether it’s a new scar or an old scar, applying it for 12 hours, for three to four weeks, you’ll be able to see that the scar is flatter, softer and lighter.
There are two sizes, and XL is specially for those with C-sections. I tried it for almost two weeks, and when I saw the nurse the other day, the nurse said the scar’s colour had lightened.”
The new Hansaplast Scar Reducer patch can be purchased at selected Watsons, Guardian and FairPrice stores and their e-commerce store, as well as Hansaplast e-commerce official stores in Shopee and Lazada.
