Anti-scar kit Fermenkol gel 30 g + Nevoton for electrophoresis

Fermenkol is a complex preparation that includes nine enzymes isolated from collagenose. These enzymes are able to influence all layers of the formed scar, and accordingly destroy pathologically formed collagen and hyaluronic acid, breaking them down into oligosaccharides and amino acids. The molecules of these compounds are necessary for further regeneration of the skin; they are the original material for construction.

Indications for use and methods of using the drug

Indications for use and methods of application of Fermenkol are varied. Below you will learn more about each problem and methods for solving it using this tool.

Burns

A burn is a destruction of the skin due to the influence of high temperatures, chemical liquids or radiation.

During the process of wound regeneration after a burn, active formation of connective tissue is observed, within which pathological collagen begins to form. Fibrils of abnormal collagen randomly intertwine and stick together, intertwine with elements of hyaluronic acid, and as a result, a solid and solid structure is formed.

The main task of conservative treatment of a burn surface is to destroy excess collagen. The use of Fermenkol gel and solution is carried out according to the scheme selected by the attending physician, and the period of use will depend on the age of the scar.

When using the gel, 1-2 courses are most often prescribed lasting from 30 to 40 days. When prescribing a solution, different concentrations and number of courses can be chosen; these indicators will depend on the severity of the patient’s condition.

Post-acne

Fermenkol Elactin

After acne, scar tissue and pigmentation can form on the skin, which brings aesthetic discomfort.

If you start treating post-acne as early as possible, you can restore the original healthy and blooming appearance of the skin, and accordingly, the result will not be long in coming.

When using the drug, you can achieve almost complete cleansing of the skin from scars. The scar itself becomes much smaller in size, the connective tissue softens and its height decreases. The patient ceases to feel itching, pain and burning, and the scar tissue itself takes on the color of nearby skin, and is almost invisible.

Electrophoresis with Fermenkol allows you to achieve quick and high-quality results in scar correction than using only the gel form. When using the gel, 1-4 courses lasting from 30 to 40 days are prescribed, and if you use the liquid form, then it is necessary to carry out from 5 to 15 electrophoresis procedures with a certain concentration.

If atrophy of more than 50% of the skin is observed, then it is better to use Fermencol Elactin.

Scars after surgery

Unfortunately, almost every person has undergone surgery in their life and received an unpleasant reminder of this in the form of a scar. If you do not treat and eliminate this problem, then an aesthetically unsightly scar may form.

Fermenkol solution and gel can be used immediately after healing of damaged tissues, namely after 14-21 days.

It is recommended to alternate phonophoresis and electrophoresis using the gel for a course of 30 to 40 days. These manipulations make it possible to deliver the collagenolytic enzyme complex to the scar tissue as quickly and efficiently as possible. When ultrasound and electric current affect the affected tissues, the processes of diffusion of the collagenolytic complex in the deep layers of scar tissue begin to increase, and as a result, the reduction of abnormal collagen increases.

Using fermenkol for stretch marks

A separate paragraph of the article will describe the use of medicine to combat stretch marks.

To combat such skin defects as stretch marks, they released a separate form of Fermenkol with the Elactin prefix. In terms of effectiveness and final results, experts equate this medicine to a laser method for removing stretch marks. In addition, the following effects can be distinguished:

• renews 90% of affected skin;
• restores the homogeneous structure of the skin, evens out its shade;
• the firmness and elasticity of the epidermis increases;
• direct effect on scar tissue, since stretch marks are atrophic scars.

Fermenkol for eliminating stretch marks has a complex effect on problem tissues. Pathological collagen is destroyed and the skin is completely restored.

When using electrophoresis and phonophoresis techniques, the pharmacological activity of the active substances increases, and as a result, damaged skin fibers are restored much faster.

Mechanism of action of Fermenkol

Outline gel for biorevitalization advantages of this drug
The main ingredients that make up the product have high activity, designed to reduce the growth and production of collagen in the skin, because scars form due to excessive collagen production. Scars of keloid and hypertrophic origin are formed due to an unexplained failure in collagen production. As a result, the substance begins to be produced in excessive quantities, and as a result - a scar.

The active ingredient of Fermenkol is collagenase, which selectively affects only pathological collagen contained only in healed tissue structures of keloid and atrophic scars, thereby destroying them and reducing the affected area. The manufacturer states that the drug does not interact with healthy collagen in unaffected tissues.

It follows from this that the enzymatic complex is capable of hydrolyzing the fibrous structures of elastin and collagen, with their subsequent breakdown into single amino acids. In addition, polysaccharides are involved in the hydrolysis reaction, namely hyaluronic acid, which is also found in scar tissue.

The drug affects scars that have formed no later than two years, since scar tissue retains its activity only until this period.

How to use the medicine correctly

Gel activator

Despite the fact that the drug is over-the-counter, it is best to use it after consultation with a dermatologist.

It can be used in three ways:

1. Application method.
2. Electrophoresis method.
3. Phonophoresis method.

You should start using the gel no earlier than 14-21 days after the wound has completely healed. The best effect is achieved only when used on scars that appeared no later than two years ago.

If the scars are not yet mature, then it is best to use the application method, since they are not yet mature enough and dense and the medicinal components penetrate deeper into the scars more easily.

Fermenkol gel is used as follows:

1. Wash the area of ​​application thoroughly with soap.
2. Dry carefully.
3. Apply a small amount of product to the skin in the scar area using gentle circular movements and let it dry.
4. The procedure should be repeated two to three times a day for a month to a month and a half.
5. After a two-week break, the course should be repeated.

When using the phonophoresis method, it involves the use of a pharmacological drug in tandem with a device that produces ultrasonic waves. There are both devices that are used only in hospital settings and for home use.

Thanks to ultrasonic waves, collagen fibers are loosened, gel enzymes penetrate better into the depths of the formation, and the effect of proteolytic enzymes increases. This method is best used for mature scars that are very dense, making it difficult for medicinal enzymes to penetrate. The background cutter cannot be used on immature scars, since ultrasonic waves at this stage, on the contrary, will contribute to their compaction.

The phonophoresis procedure must be carried out daily, the course is at least 10 procedures, and a two-week break must be taken between courses. You can buy Fermenkol gel in a pharmacy without a doctor's prescription.

The rules are as follows:

1. Wash and dry the skin around the scar.
2. Place a hot, but not scalding, dry cloth on the scar area for 4-5 minutes.
3. Apply gel to the surface of the scar.
4. Press the device head firmly.
5. Move the head of the device slowly and effortlessly in a circular motion.
6. It is prohibited to tear off the head of the device during the procedure.
7. During the procedure, the product should not dry out; if necessary, it should be added.

The procedure for children from 3 to 15 years old should last no more than three minutes, and for adults it lasts five minutes.

Phonophoresis is prohibited for use in pregnant women during the 2nd and 3rd trimesters. During the electrophoresis procedure, the drug is used in the form of a powder diluted in 1% potassium chloride, a napkin is moistened with it and the procedure is carried out. The procedure lasts about 20 minutes, about 15 procedures are required.

Fermenkol has a contraindication - an individual allergic reaction to collagenase.

Imoferase

The drug for the local treatment of scars, temples and keloids of any etiology, is produced in the form of a cream. The basis of Imoferase is the active component hyaluronidase. This is a deep penetration substance that seeps through the entire dermis, right down to the subcutaneous fat and muscle corset. The main mechanism of action is to improve the metabolic processes of the skin and other tissues, eliminate swelling, enhance the regeneration of the intercellular matrix, and most importantly: the resorption of excess connective tissue formations.

Thanks to this effect, hyaluronidase-based cream is widely used in cosmetology to eliminate postoperative scars on the face and body, to treat burn scars and acne, as well as to reduce the volume of keloid formations after injuries. The cream, or rather its active component, suppresses the process of excessive growth of connective tissue, directly acts on its structure, softening and dissolving excess formation, giving the skin smoothness and elasticity. After a full course of treatment, there is no trace left of the scars, our journalists were convinced of this miracle by observing the patients of the clinic.

Mechanism of action

Hyaluronidase in combination with glycerol monostearate, ceteareth (23, 6), sodium benzoate and cetyl stearyl alcohol and some water are ideal for eliminating defects in skin integrity.

These components of the dermotropic cream have the following mechanism:

The components penetrate deep into the tissue, softening rough growths of scars and keloids.

Resolves soft connective fibers, reducing the volume of scars.

The components inhibit the process of formation of scar changes after operations or injuries.

Restore trophism and protective barrier function of the skin.

They regulate pH in the rumen area and also maintain water balance within normal limits.

Reduce or completely suppress allergic reactivity.

They return the skin to its former elasticity and healthy tone without leaving pigmentation.

Another drug, Contractubex, also has such qualities, when choosing which you need to thoroughly study everything about: Imoferase or Contractubex: comparison of drugs and which is better. The cream has unique abilities to eliminate any scars, regardless of their location. But, it is not recommended to use it without consulting your doctor. Even if the cream has no side effects, in some cases unexpected reactions may occur.

Indications and contraindications

The remedy Imoferase is recommended for:

resorption of overgrown connective tissue in the area of ​​injury with violation of the integrity of the skin (scars, scars, keloids);

treatment of scars after chemical and thermal burns;

elimination of skin stretch marks (after pregnancy, childbirth and rapid weight loss);

treatment of acne scars, boils and carbuncles.

The ointment is recommended for local use after plastic surgery, grinding or peeling of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. A cosmetologist will advise you on the correct instructions for using the cream after cosmetic procedures.

Application in cosmetology

A creamy product based on hyaluronidase is used in cosmetology and dermatology to heal micro and macro defects after inflammatory processes such as pimples, blackheads or acne. Capturing the deep layers of the dermis, these pathologies form deep scars, scars and specific pits. The skin of the face takes on a lumpy appearance with dark scars and spots. After a full treatment course with Imoferase cream (2-3 months), no trace of an inflammatory-purulent infection remains in problematic areas.

Attention! Imoferase cream is widely used in beauty salons to smooth out age wrinkles. This product is not intended for such procedures, but in combination with creams containing collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid plus a complex of vitamins, it brings good results. Do not try to do such procedures yourself; in this case, only a dermatologist-cosmetologist can choose the ideal proportions without harm to health and without the formation of pigmentation.

Adverse reactions

According to the results of laboratory tests and the process of monitoring many patients, Imoferase cream has practically no adverse reactions. Our experts identified only isolated cases (1 out of 100) when patients had allergic reactions to the cream.

Fermenkol Set for electrophoresis in binary packaging

Fermenkol Set for electrophoresis in binary packaging Fermenkol 4 mg, dry active substance: complex of collagenolytic proteases - 100%; lyophilized hygroscopic powder from light yellow to light brown color in a glass bottle. Solactin is a means for preparing a solution of enzymes, 40 ml, transparent liquid in a polymer bottle. Ingredients: water, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, chlorhexidine digluconate, hydrochloric (hydrochloric) acid. Indications: Used in cosmetology, surgery and dermatovenerology for the correction and prevention of the formation of hypertrophic and keloid scars after operations, injuries, wounds, burns, purulent-inflammatory skin diseases, acne (acne). There are no age restrictions, it can be used in children. Contraindications: Individual intolerance to collagenases, hypotrophic scars, stretch marks (“stretch marks” of the skin). Method of application: Electrophoresis Based on the clinical form, age, area and depth of the scar, Fermencol solutions of various concentrations are used. To prepare solutions, use the enzyme solution preparation Solactin. The recommended concentration for the correction of keloid scars is 0.5-1 mg/ml, for hypertrophic scars - 0.1-0.2 mg/ml. The required concentration of the solution is selected based on table No. 1 of the instructions. To carry out the procedure, 1 cm2 of scar tissue is required 0.3-0.5 ml of Fermenkol solution. Moisten a layer of filter paper or gauze with Fermenkol solution and apply it to the scarred area of ​​skin. Place a pad with an electrode soaked in water on top. To avoid burns, the gasket should protrude beyond the boundaries of the electrode around the perimeter. Injection should be carried out from the positive pole (from the anode)! Injection mode: current density is no more than 0.1 mA/cm2 when the scar is localized on the skin of the torso and limbs, and no more than 0.05 mA/cm2 during electrophoresis in the facial area. In children under 5 years of age, during electrophoresis in the facial area, the current density should not exceed 0.01 mA/cm2. The duration of the procedure is 20-25 minutes. After the electrophoresis procedure, you should remain in the room for about 30 minutes. Course duration is 12-15 procedures. Frequency of procedures: preferably every day at the same time of day, but not less than every other day. The interval between courses is 7-10 days. Mechanism of scar reduction: Fermencol has high collagenolytic activity, providing deep hydrolysis of collagen peptide bonds. Hydrolysis of collagen occurs down to individual amino acids. Fermenkol exhibits selective activity against branched molecules of pathological collagen with nodular and vortex folding, characteristic of keloid and hypertrophic scars, and is less active against fibrils of native collagen inherent in healthy connective tissue. Scar reduction occurs due to the destruction of excess collagen. In addition to collagenolytic activity, Fermenkol has general proteolytic activity and the ability to hydrolyze polysaccharides, which has a complex effect on all components of the rumen. In the process of using Fermenkol to eliminate acne (acne) and its consequences, the scar capsule around the inflamed gland is destroyed, which helps cleanse it, reduce the volume of scar tissue and smooth the skin. Dry enzyme product Fermenkol is produced with a special agent for preparing a solution of enzymes Solactin, selected the combination of components of which increases the efficiency of enzyme transport into skin tissue, and potassium ions inhibit the activity of fibroblasts that produce excess collagen. Special instructions: Use no earlier than 2-3 weeks after surgery. Safety: Fermenkol line cosmetics contain active enzymes. If the skin is hypersensitive, they can cause redness, which disappears soon after the end of the course of use. Getting the product into an open wound is not dangerous. If Fermenkol or its solutions, or cream or gel gets into your eyes, rinse them with plenty of water. Keep away from children.Storage conditions: Store in a cool, dry, dark place, do not heat above 40 0C. The shelf life of the prepared Fermenkol solution for electrophoresis is 10 days at temperatures from 2 0C to 6 0C, the solution should not be frozen. Shelf life: 3 years from the date of manufacture. , Russia, 197342, St. Petersburg, st. Kantemirovskaya, 2.
