Absorbable ointments make scars and marks more elastic, promote color change, bringing it closer to natural. Any formation should be shown to a doctor, who will determine the most effective remedy in each specific case. It is worth noting that it will take less time to treat acne scars or minor burns than after surgical interventions. Absorbable ointment can be used as an independent remedy, as well as an auxiliary one as part of complex therapy. It can also be used at home.

They soften scars, smooth and moisturize the skin. The drug not only restores the structure of tissues, but also protects against aggressive environmental factors.

Ointments for resorption of scars after surgery

Pharmacological specialists have developed many drugs that help in the resorption of scars after surgery. Most of them contain silicone, which does not penetrate the body, but acts directly on the surface of the body. After the ointment is applied to the scar, a film forms on it, which is a protective barrier. It not only makes the skin elastic, but also eliminates the itching that accompanies the healing process. Among the range of ointments, there are those without silicone and they are no less effective. But it is worth remembering that it is quite difficult to remove large scars with one cream; it is necessary to use complex treatment.
