CICA-CARE^◊ has been used by the medical profession for over ten years, in which time it has helped improve the appearance of red, dark or raised scars for over one million people worldwide. And now it's available for you to purchase from your local pharmacist.

During the development of CICA-CARE^◊, many research studies were undertaken - and the results were very impressive. In fact, it has been proven that CICA-CARE^◊ works in up to 90% of cases and that the results of treatment are permanent.

Here we have summarised the results of four key research programmes so you too can see evidence of how effective CICA-CARE^◊ is.

Carney, Carson, Gowar, Stevenson, Macnee, Groves et al 1994.

42 people aged between 2 and 60 with red, dark or raised scars were studies with CICA-CARE^◊.  These scars had also improved in condition, color and texture, softenting to enable the skin to become more flexible.  Only 12% of untreated scars improved after 2 months, with just 38% showing improvement after 6 months.

Donald, ANZBA 1995. 

A total of 31 patients aged between 18 months and 65 years old took part in this trial. The patients had either hypertrophic or keloid scars which are both types of red, dark or raised scars. Patients were divided into two groups; one using CICA-CARE^◊ and the other another type of silicone gel sheet.

The results showed CICA-CARE^◊ to be tougher in every day use. In all, 69% of patients using CICA-CARE^◊ wore the same strip for more than two weeks compared to just 40% for the other silicone gel treatment.

By being more durable, CICA-CARE^◊ lasts longer and is therefore more cost effective to use.
