embrace Active Scar Defense is a scar treatment that has been clinically proven to improve the appearance and characteristics of post-surgical scars. embrace is a two-part device that includes a self-applicator that sets the proper tension and an adhesive silicone dressing that protects the incision and relieves the tension. Once the dressing is placed over a scar the incision is protected and the tension is off-loaded from the incision allowing the incision to heal naturally without stress. By relieving tension, this active scar device addresses a pivotal component in the development of bad scarring. Clinical studies have shown that utilizing embrace helps patients to achieve the best aesthetic outcome for their scar.
