Study reveals Solution for Scars significantly reduces redness and thickness of scars

Science of Skin (SOS), founded by a scientific skin biologist and a leading cosmetic surgeon, has revealed the results of its latest clinical trial on Solution for Scars. The scar treatment cream had already been scientifically proven in the laboratory to reduce scar size by up to 40% has now been proven to significantly reduce the thickness and redness of a scar in just two weeks in a clinical trial in volunteers. The study, conducted in the UK, set out to discoverthe benefits of a topical on scars and inflamed skin. According to the co-founder of SOS, Dr Ardeshir Bayat, “The aim of this study was to assess the effect of 14 days’ application of topical epigallocatechin gallate (also known as ECGC, one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants found in green tea) compared to a placebo in vivo, in uniformly created punch biopsy scars in 20 volunteers using quantitative non-invasive devices and immunohistochemical analysis of tissue biopsies in a double-blind randomised-controlled trial.” The double-blind randomised controlled trial is the first of its kind to show that there is evidence for the role of topical ECGC in reducing redness and skin thickness in human skin scarring. The study has now been shortlisted for an award by the SAWC (The Symposium on Advanced Wound Care).
