Complete Scar Care for Texture & Discoloration
The MSMD SkinTherapy Scar Reducing Duo combines two targeted scar-care products to help improve multiple aspects of a scar's appearance: FADE Silicone Scar Gel and BRIGHT Pigment-Lightening TouchStick.
Developed by Matthew Schulman, MD, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, this two-product regimen is designed for people concerned about both the appearance of a scar and the discoloration that can occur during the healing process.
Two Products. Two Different Approaches to Scar Care.
FADE Silicone Scar Gel is formulated with 100% medical-grade silicone and is designed to help improve the appearance of surgical and traumatic scars.
BRIGHT Pigment-Lightening TouchStick is a targeted treatment for unwanted pigmentation and discoloration associated with healing scars. Its TouchStick applicator allows precise application directly to areas of discoloration.
Together, FADE and BRIGHT provide a convenient two-step approach to scar care.
Ideal for Surgical Scars
The Scar Reducing Duo can be incorporated into a scar-care routine following procedures such as:
- Tummy tuck
- Breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction
- Facelift and neck lift
- Liposuction and body contouring
- Body lift and arm lift
- C-section
- Other surgical procedures and healed traumatic injuries
How to Use the Scar Reducing Duo
FADE: Apply a thin layer directly to the healed scar as directed by your surgeon or healthcare provider.
BRIGHT: Apply directly to areas of unwanted pigmentation or discoloration. Begin once daily and gradually increase use as tolerated.
For Dr. Schulman's plastic surgery patients, scar treatment is typically started approximately 2–3 weeks after surgery, once the incision has appropriately healed. Do not apply these products to an open or unhealed wound.
FADE and BRIGHT may be alternated as part of your scar-care routine rather than layered directly on top of one another.
Why Choose the Scar Reducing Duo?
Scars can have several visible characteristics. Some may remain raised, firm or noticeable, while others can develop unwanted pigmentation or discoloration.
The Scar Reducing Duo combines:
Medical-grade silicone scar care with FADE
plus
Targeted pigment care with BRIGHT
This allows you to address different aspects of a healing scar with products specifically designed for each purpose.
