Oil Bio Oil scars and stretch marks.   Contains absorbed quickly "dry" oil, which acts as a carrier of vitamin A and E, as well as herbal oils (lavender, calendula, rosemary and chamomile). It is alleged that they penetrate the second layer of the skin, helping to moisturize and promoting flexibility.

The verdict of the doctor:   "Despite the popularity of this facility, I do not hear of any scientific evidence of its effectiveness. It is unlikely that the ingredients penetrate deep because the skin is a very effective barrier, stopping almost all, including vitamins. Perhaps, Bio Oil can help with moistening the skin. "

Gel scars Kelo-cote.   It is based on silicone. It is alleged that he is working on all types of scars. Apply a very thin layer, forming a waterproof membrane which acts as a second skin, moisturizing and scar helping his smooth. Apply twice a day for 60 days.

Laminating this roller over the skin, we call the education of thousands of tiny ukolchikov that trigger the production of new collagen (a protein that provides elasticity and roundness of the skin). Therapy takes six to eight weeks.

The verdict of the doctor:   "I watched a very impressive results using this device for cosmetic purposes. It can help get rid of scars   and scars after acne or chickenpox. However, conclusive scientific evidence of effectiveness yet. This process is less invasive than laser, but the scars of strong large effect will not be. "
