Whether your daughter has cut herself playing in the garden or you’ve got a superficial burn from the oven, the skin has the amazing capacity to heal itself. By applying appropriate care, you can help optimise the skin’s natural healing process. Skin repair creams are, without doubt, an everyday essential care for all the family.
Our skin has exceptional healing abilities. It protects the body from various environmental threats, such as cold, UV rays, or wind. When irritated or damaged from a small injury or wound, it naturally repairs itself. The natural healing process can take up to 2 years, depending on various factors such as the severity of the lesion, its location, skin type, and age. This complex biological mechanism takes place in 4 successive stages, with a key moment involving the production of many new cells to replace the missing skin tissue.
During the healing process, you may experience unpleasant or uncomfortable sensations, especially tightness and itching. The skin repair cream you can apply during this period is designed to relieve these effects and, most importantly, to optimise skin repair so that the scar is as inconspicuous as possible.
Although the skin is very good at healing, the way you look after the damaged area plays an important role in the process.
Bioderma is a benchmark in the care of damaged skin. The Cicabio range is constantly innovating to better support and optimse the healing process.
When could you use the Cicabio range?
Once the skin has closed and a scab started to form, you can apply Cicabio CrEAM+ or Cicabio Crème SPF50+ to optimise the healing process, while preserving the skin’s ecosystem and restoring microbiome diversity.
Not only does CICABIO CREAM+ respect your skin, but it is also multipurpose – making it a medicine cabinet must-have for all the family, from newborn babies to children and adults.
CICABIO CREAM+ can be used for an extremely wide range of different kind of lesions. Just make sure the lesion isn’t bleeding anymore, the skin has closed, and a scab has started to form before you apply the cream.
