How Strataderm works
01
02
03
A thin film. A better-hydrated scar.
Strataderm is gas-permeable which allows the skin to breathe and remain hydrated. Strataderm restores the barrier function of the stratum corneum and reduces Trans-Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL). Better hydration helps to achieve a softer, smoother and flatter scar.
Strataderm forms a durable, flexible and waterproof sheet. It does not penetrate into the epidermis or dermis. Strataderm protects the scarred site from microbial and chemical invasion. The protected environment helps to normalize the level of collagen production.
Schematic illustration; not to scale. Orange identifies the film, which is transparent when dry.01Film-forming, flexible, full contact
Strataderm dries to form a thin, transparent and durable protective film that ensures constant contact with the scar (24 hours a day/7 days a week).
02Hydration
Strataderm is gas-permeable which allows the skin to breathe and remain hydrated.
03Protection
Strataderm forms a durable, flexible and waterproof sheet. It does not penetrate into the epidermis or dermis.
Strataderm does not need to be rubbed in or massaged, as it does not penetrate below the level of stratum corneum and will not enhance its effect.
