Embrace vs. Cica-Care or Scaraway?

Embrace is the only FDA approved scar treatment that is evidence based by scientific research through randomized controlled trials that shows that it works!  It is a pre-stretched silicone sheet that is applied on the scar once every 10 days for 60 days.  Using this scar treatment has been proven to reduce the appearance of scars and that is why we use it on all of our surgical scars.  I highly recommend it!

Without a doubt, I prefer dynamic scar therapies such as Plato's Scar Serum with scar modulation vs. Embrace silicone patches. Best, Dr. KaramanoukianLos Angeles

Embrace has delivered good results in my practice, and it is backed by good research data.  It is very different than simple silicone tape for scars, which does not shrink when applied and therefore does not take tension off the incision during the early phase of healing.  It is pricey, and we include all assessment and application services for our patients as part of the price.
