BIOCORNUEM gel VS EMBRACE for advance scar therapy?

Thanks for your question. Hands down Embrace does a much better job! Now, that's my personal opinion, but I've used Embrace in close to 100 patients and I have never worked with a product that gives such nice results before in 14 years of practice. Best wishes always,Dr. ALDO

Silicone gel products which include Biocorneum have been demonstrated in many studies to enhance the outcome of scars, and silicone gel is easy to use.   Tension is a well known factor leading to increased scars, and Embrace is a new therapy that effectively relieves tension, and has been demonstrated to improve outcomes after routine closure of abdominoplasty. There are other closure  techniques that will effectively relieve tension, and it is unknown  whether Embrace will improve the outcome in those cases. I would discuss with your surgeon the typical outcomes in their practice, and which product they would recomend  Embrace is more expensive, and harder to use, which is also a  consideration. Your own genetics and propensity to scar are also important variables.  Some people will scar poorly no matter what techniques are used, and on the other end of the spectrum, a patient with favorable genetics will usually not have problems.  Because abdominoplasties are closed under tension, it is important that  good strategy be used to minimize tension for the first few months of healing, while the scar is still immature, and subject to stretch or hypertrophy.
