“Many people, especially those recovering from surgery, struggle with scars. Our new patch offers an easy, non-invasive solution to improve the appearance of scars over time.”

Expert Opinions on the Scar Reducer Patch

Dr Clement, a highly experienced wound care practitioner confirms the safety of the Scar Reducer, a transparent polyurethane patch that is also clinically proven and contains no chemicals or active ingredients making it safe for sensitive skin. The Scar Reducer acts as an occlusive barrier, enhancing hydration and increasing temperature in the scar area to activate the skin’s natural regeneration process.

Wound care expert Dr Clement Limus Apong, with nearly 20 years of clinical experience, shared his insights on the Hansaplast Scar Reducer patch.

“Research shows that 91% of patients undergoing surgery are concerned about scarring,” Dr Clement explained.

“The Scar Reducer patch specifically targets hypertrophic and keloid scars.

It uses a transparent polyurethane patch to hydrate, raise the temperature, and activate the skin’s natural healing process.

In just a few weeks, scars become flatter, softer, and lighter.”

The patch is safe for sensitive skin and free of side effects, making it a gentle yet effective option for scar reduction.

Results can be seen within 3 to 4 weeks, with even more significant improvement after 8 weeks of consistent use.
