Scar Removal

Scar Removal. Is Mederma really effective?

Mederma is topical gel that’s formulated to improve the appearance and feel of just about any kind of scar.

In this page i want to share the scientific evidences i have found supporting the efficacy of this topical treatment.

Mederma's main ingredient is "Cepalin", an extract made from onions.
Onion Extract is a natural anti-oxidant that has been shown to inhibit the production of fibroblasts, cells that contribute to scar formation.
This extract can help to improve the color,contour, and overall appearance of scars.

- A clinical study has considered the effects of Mederma on hypertrophic scars in the rabbit hypertrophic scar model, allowing the histologic quantification of scar elevation, dermal collagen organization, vascularity, and inflammation and the gross examination of scar erythema.

The study showed that the onion extract gel significantly improved scar softness, redness, texture, and global appearance. (from Pub Med "The ability of onion extract gel to improve the cosmetic appearance of postsurgical scars".)

- Another pilot study has evaluated the ability of onion extract gel to improve the cosmetic appearance of postsurgical scars.
The study showed that the onion extract gel significantly improved scar appearance. (from Pub Med "The ability of onion extract gel to improve the cosmetic appearance of postsurgical scars".)

Conclusion:Keep in mind that using an onion extract cream is better than using no scar treatment at all. I recommend this product to anyone who has any kind of a scar, new or old, any stretch marks, burns, acne, etc.
