Embrace Scar Treatment

Scars don’t define you, but we know how much they can affect you. Whether from surgery, an injury, or childbirth, stubborn scars can make you feel self-conscious long after the wound has healed. You deserve a solution that works as hard as you do. At The Gallery of Cosmetic Surgery, we offer FDA-cleared embrace® Scar Therapy—a clinically proven treatment that minimizes scars, softens their appearance. Backed by clinical studies, Embrace® provides a powerful way to treat scars from surgeries and injuries, helping you regain confidence and feel comfortable in your skin again.

Understanding the Scars

Scars are your skin’s way of healing after a cut, surgery, or injury. When deeper layers of skin are damaged, your body produces collagen (a natural protein) to repair the affected area. While this repair process is important, the resulting scar tissue can often be thicker, darker, and raised compared to the surrounding skin.

Types of Scars Treated by embrace®

Different types of scars require different approaches for treatment. Embrace® Scar Therapy has been proven to be effective in treating:

• Hypertrophic Scars – Raised, red scars that stay within the original wound area.
• Keloid Scars – Thick, overgrown scars that spread beyond the injury site.
• Surgical Scars – From C-sections, tummy tucks, and other procedures.
• Traumatic Scars – Caused by accidents, burns, or injuries.

No matter how your scar formed, FDA-cleared embrace® helps minimize its visibility, giving you smoother, more natural-looking skin.

Benefits of Embrace® Scar Therapy

Scar formation depends on many factors, but proper wound care can significantly influence healing. Embrace® Scar Therapy is an FDA-cleared treatment that actively supports optimal scar recovery through three key mechanisms:

• Prevents abnormal scarring – The patented dynamic tension system helps minimize tensity on healing wounds, reducing the likelihood of raised (hypertrophic) or overgrown (keloid) scars
• Improves scar quality – Clinically shown to flatten, soften, and reduce discoloration in both new scars (beginning at suture removal) and mature scars (up to several years old)
• Supports comfortable healing – The medical-grade silicone sheets are breathable, flexible, and designed for continuous wear during daily activities

Randomized controlled trials have shown that patients who used Embrace® experienced a significant reduction in scar size, thickness, and color when compared to those who did not use the treatment.

How Embrace® Works

Embrace® Scar Therapy utilizes advanced Stress-Shield® Technology to relieve tension on healing skin, a key factor in preventing raised and visible scars. By applying a protective silicone layer, it minimizes tensity, helping to promote smoother and more even healing. Additionally, the system uses medical-grade silicone, which is clinically proven to hydrate, soften, and reduce the appearance of scars over time, providing effective, non-invasive treatment for better scar outcomes.
