1. What is Dermatix Ultra?  

Proper care of a scar is not straightforward; in fact, after injury, the body typically requires up to 18 months to naturally flatten and reduce the appearance of scars. Some scars may even retain their original condition indefinitely.  

Consequently, many individuals with scars opt to endure and coexist with them; some attempt to apply heavy makeup, while others choose long-sleeved clothing, scarves, etc., to conceal the imperfections of scars on their bodies. However, these measures are merely temporary, as the scar remains visible and continues to diminish the self-esteem of those afflicted.  

Dermatix Ultra 7g is a scar improvement product originating from the United States, developed by the Menarini Group and authorized for sale by the FDA. Featuring an advanced and innovative formulation, Dermatix Ultra 7g has been clinically proven to effectively improve hypertrophic and keloid scars.  

The components of Dermatix Ultra 7g include silicone gel combined with advanced CPX technology and a unique form of Vitamin C ester, which helps to flatten, soften, and diminish scars, providing a comprehensive effect in scar treatment and alleviating the patients' concerns and insecurities about their appearance.

2. Efficacy of Dermatix Ultra 7g Scar Cream  

The scar cream Dermatix Ultra 7g is produced using breakthrough silicone gel technology accompanied by cyclopentasiloxane (CPX) - a new generation Elastomer that helps create a thin, elastic film for flattening effect. This technology enables Dermatix Ultra 7g to dry quickly, increasing durability and adhesion, thereby providing a synergistic impact that flattens and softens scars. Thus, Dermatix Ultra 7g creates an environment conducive to optimal scar recovery with specific impacts such as:

• Normalizing collagen synthesis processes in scarred areas of skin to effectively address scar issues, including dark scars, hypertrophic scars, atrophic scars, and scars resulting from burns, among others;  
• Soothe itching and discomfort associated with scars, thereby reducing the tendency for patients to scratch, which can prolong the healing process;  
• Dermatix Ultra 7g promotes skin tone uniformity in scarred areas, ensuring that the scarred region blends seamlessly with the surrounding skin without leaving detectable imperfections;  

Dermatix Ultra 7g protects scarred skin during treatment from the harmful effects of UV rays from sunlight, preventing skin from becoming dehydrated, reddened, or otherwise damaged.  

Dermatix Ultra 7g also contains Vitamin C ester: a lipid-activated derivative of vitamin C - ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, a neutral pH form that does not irritate the skin during application, assisting in scar reduction and providing protection against UVA and UVB rays. Ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate is a stable precursor of vitamin C, allowing for deeper penetration than ordinary vitamin C, yielding superior effects.  

According to calculations based on IQVIA market share data from 2018 - 2020, the Dermatix Ultra 7g scar cream in Vietnam has gained prominence among scar treatment medications due to its special advantages, including:

• The efficacy of Dermatix Ultra 7g has been validated through numerous clinical studies;  
• Dermatix Ultra 7g is suitable for use by children aged 6 months and older, as well as by pregnant and breastfeeding women.

3. Which types of scars can Dermatix Ultra Gel be used on?  

Dermatix Ultra 7g can be applied to various types of scars caused by different injuries and incidents, such as surgical scars, burn scars, scars from cuts, scratches, and insect bites. These scars may enlarge, become thicker, dry out, protrude, change color to darker or red hues, and cause itching and pain.  

Typically, scars tend to exhibit darker or redder coloration compared to the surrounding normal skin, and they may also develop into raised scars, drying out, becoming prominent, and causing ongoing discomfort or pain. If Dermatix Ultra Gel is used consistently and appropriately, patients will gradually notice that the scar becomes flatter, softer, and lighter in color over time.

4. How to Use Dermatix Ultra Scar Cream 7g  

Dermatix Ultra 7g should be applied twice daily. After applying the medication to the scarred area, patients are advised not to massage the area. Dermatix Ultra 7g possesses rapid absorption characteristics and is non-greasy, allowing it to be used in conjunction with cosmetics or sunscreen in the subsequent steps of the regular skincare regimen.  

For each application of Dermatix Ultra 7g, a quantity equivalent to a green pea should be used for a scar measuring approximately 15 cm in length to ensure optimal efficacy of the product.  

To achieve the best scar treatment results, patients should commence the use of Dermatix Ultra 7g as soon as possible on new scars (up to three months old), using it once the wound has healed and closed. Specifically for surgical wounds, it is recommended to start using Dermatix Ultra 10 to 14 days post-surgery.  

5. Effective Scar Treatment Tips with Dermatix Ultra Gel  

The ratio 2:2:1 serves as a mnemonic for remembering the method of improving scars with Dermatix Ultra. According to this sequence, it signifies that patients should continuously use Dermatix Ultra for two months, applying it twice daily with a single tube of gel Dermatix for optimal scar improvement.  

• Two months is the minimum duration required to allow Dermatix Ultra to exert its scar improvement effects. For more severe scars, the duration of use may need to be extended, potentially ranging from 3 to 6 months (for cesarean scars, surgical scars, etc.).  
• Application should be performed twice daily, in the morning and evening, to ensure that Dermatix Ultra remains on the skin's surface for a full 24 hours, thus enabling the silicone gel to function effectively in normalizing collagen production and preventing hypertrophic or keloid scars from forming at the injury site. Additionally, Dermatix Ultra should be applied as a thin layer over the scar, prior to moisturizer, sunscreen, and makeup, allowing a wait time of approximately 1 to 2 minutes for optimal adhesion to the skin.  
• A single 15g tube of Dermatix gel is the minimum necessary quantity for two months of scar treatment, representing a cost-effective and intelligent solution for scar management.  

Steps for Applying Dermatix Ultra 7g:  

• Clean the scarred area and gently pat it dry.  
• Evenly apply the appropriate amount of Dermatix Ultra Scar Gel to the scarred region.  
• Wait for 1 to 2 minutes until dry, and then apply cosmetics or sunscreen.  

6. Unwanted Effects of Dermatix Ultra Gel  

Dermatix Ultra is a scar gel suitable for children and, in general, does not induce redness, pain, or irritation upon application. Should any adverse effects occur following the application of Dermatix Ultra, immediate consultation with a pharmacist or physician is recommended.  

7. Precautions When Using Dermatix Ultra  

• Do not apply Dermatix Ultra to open wounds or those with draining fluids.  
• Avoid contact with mucous membranes; do not apply Dermatix Ultra near the eyes. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with clean water.  
• Avoid simultaneous application of Dermatix Ultra on the skin with other therapeutic agents without consulting a physician.
