The dermatologist's guide to scar healing
Causes, Care & Medical Options for Smoother-Looking Skin Whether after surgery, cuts, acne, or burns, almost every skin carries the traces of past wounds. But how do scars actually form? And how can you improve their appearance over time? Here’s a medically grounded overview, based on dermatological insights and complemented by the care expertise of DECALYS by Dr. Enderlin. 1. How do scars form? Every scar is part of the body’s natural wound-healing process. As soon as the skin is injured, it immediately begins repair – in three phases: Inflammatory phase: Cleansing & defense (1–3 days) Proliferation phase: New skin cell and collagen production (4–21 days) Remodeling phase: Scar formation & tissue strengthening (up to 1 year) Whether a scar heals flat and discreetly or becomes raised and visible depends on several factors: genetics, skin type, wound care, and post-injury management. 2. What factors influence scar formation? Scarring is affected by both internal and external factors, including: Wound depth & type (e.g. surgical, burn, cut) Scar location (e.g. mobile or tension-prone areas Skin type & genetic predisposition Wound care quality & infections UV exposure during healing The first few weeks of wound care are crucial. Consistent and protective treatment can significantly reduce long-term scarring. 3. Medical Scar Care: What really works? Modern dermatology recommends a combination of protection, hydration, and active ingredients, tailored to scar type and stage. 💡 Most effective care principles at a glance: Treatment Goal Recommended Approach Protection from friction & moisture loss ✔ Silicone patches or gels (e.g. CICAFILM) Reduce inflammation & promote healing ✔ Zinc, Centella Asiatica, Aloe Vera Support regeneration & cell renewal ✔ Alpha‑3 Complex®, Vitamins A/E Soothe itchiness & improve texture ✔ Medical scar creams like LA POMMADE or LE BAUME Recommended DECALYS Products: CICAFILM – breathable silicone patch for fresh scars and post-surgery. LE BAUME – calming balm for irritation, redness, or after treatments. LA POMMADE - regenerative scar cream for sensitive, mature or reddish scars. LE GEL – A light, non-sticky silicone gel for fresh scars on the face or neck. 4. Medical options for more complex scars For highly visible, painful or thickened scars, consulting a dermatologist is advisable. Medical treatments may include: Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen Laser therapy (e.g. CO₂ or Fraxel) Microneedling / medical needling Surgical scar revision (e.g. Z-plasty) Early intervention by a professional can help prevent the scar from becoming more fibrotic or hypertrophic.

What is the best way to care for my caesarean scar?
How to Care for Your C-Section Scar: Gentle Support for Your Skin After Birth A C-section is a major procedure – physically and emotionally. As you begin to settle into your new role as a mother, your body also starts the healing process. One area that deserves special care and attention during this time is your C-section scar. Many new moms have questions: When should I start scar care? What truly helps with healing? Can I improve the appearance of my scar over time? In this article, you’ll learn how to care for your C-section scar, when to start treatment, and how Cicafilm can support your skin as it regenerates. Why Is C-Section Scar Care So Important? A C-section scar is more than a surface-level wound. It involves several layers of skin, tissue, and muscle. While the incision may look small from the outside, the healing process is deep and complex. Proper care can help: Support skin regeneration Reduce the risk of irritation or infection Improve the appearance of the scar Soothe tight or itchy skin Reconnect you with your body after birth Most importantly, daily scar care can become a quiet moment just for you – a gentle reminder to take care of yourself. When Should You Start Caring for Your Scar? In the first few days after the birth, rest is the most important thing. As long as the scar is still oozing or has crusts, it should only be cleaned with clear water, disinfected if necessary and otherwise kept dry. As soon as the wound is completely closed - usually after the stitches have been removed, i.e. around 10 to 14 days after the caesarean section - you can start with targeted care. Ideally, you should clarify with your doctor or midwife whether the right time has been reached. What Does Gentle and Effective Scar Care Look Like? Your body has just done something incredible. Now it deserves time and care to recover – both inside and out. Scar care after a C-section isn’t just a medical necessity, it’s a personal ritual. A chance to slow down and reconnect with your body. Here’s how you can support your healing process with simple, mindful steps: 1. Gentle Cleansing Use lukewarm water and a mild, pH-neutral cleanser. Pat the scar area dry with a soft towel – don’t rub or use scented products. 2. Protect Against Friction Choose soft, breathable clothing that doesn’t press or rub against the scar. High-waisted cotton underwear is ideal for this period of healing. 3. Hydration & Daily Care If crusts are still present after thread removal, you can start with a moisturising and soothing treatment. Decalys Le Baume is suitable for this. When the skin is completely smooth again - this is usually the case after 14-20 days - Cicafilm is suitable for scar prevention. Cicafilm is a thin, skin-friendly silicone plaster. It forms a protective film on the scar and protects it like a second skin. It should be changed regularly. It is advisable to wear the plaster consistently for at least 8 weeks. Cicafilm has been dermatologically tested and can be easily integrated into everyday life. It protects your scar from friction caused by clothing. You can shower, bathe or do sport with it. 4. Scar Massage After around three to four weeks - or as soon as your doctor agrees - you can gently massage the scar. This loosens the tissue, stimulates blood circulation and can help to prevent hardening or bulging scars. A gentle massage with Decaly's La Pommade combines care with conscious body awareness, stimulates blood circulation and promotes good scar formation. Regular massage with La Pommade also helps with stretch marks. Conclusion: Proper care of your caesarean section scar is an important part of your physical and emotional recovery. Not only does it help your skin, it also gives you a little moment every day in which you can take notice of yourself. With patience, care and high-quality products such as Cicafilm or La Pommade, you can optimally support your skin - so that the scar does not become a reminder of pain, but a symbol of strength. Can a C-Section Scar Be Removed? While a C-section scar won’t completely disappear, with consistent care you can significantly improve how it looks and feels. Daily application of high-quality products like Cicafilm or La Pommade, gentle massage, sun protection and patience can help the scar: Appear flatter and smoother Blend more evenly with your skin tone Feel less tight or sensitive In persistant cases, additional medical procedures such as microneedling or laser treatment may be useful - this should be discussed with your dermatologist. Cicafilm: Your Skin Care Companion After Birth The first few weeks with your baby are filled with changes, emotions, and endless new experiences. While you care for your newborn, your own body is recovering from one of the most intense journeys it’s ever been through. Cicafilm was developed to support your skin during this exact time – especially after medical procedures like C-sections. With a lightweight, breathable formula, it hydrates, protects and soothes your skin without clogging pores or leaving a residue. Fragrance-free and dermatologically tested Easy to apply, even on sensitive or irritated skin Ideal for daily use, even during breastfeeding Cicafilm gives your skin the calm, supportive care it needs – and gives you back a moment of focus, just for yourself. Conclusion: Healing Takes Time – and Gentle Support Caring for your C-section scar is a small but important part of your postpartum recovery. It’s not just about appearance – it’s about feeling good in your own skin again. With the right routine, patience, and supportive products like Cicafilm, you’re giving your body the best chance to heal comfortably and beautifully. And in the process, you’re also giving yourself something just as important: attention, compassion and care. Frequently Asked Questions How long should I care for my caesarean section scar? At least 12 weeks. Longer if the skin is sensitive or prone to severe scarring. Can sun exposure worsen the scar? Yes, UV exposure can lead to permanent pigmentation changes. Therefore, always use sun protection with SPF 50 or protect the area with Cicafilm or clothing. Can I also use scar care while breastfeeding? Yes. Cicafilm and La Pommade are free from irritating substances and are suitable for use while breastfeeding. When can I start using Cicafilm? As soon as the scar is dry and free of crusts or oozing - usually around 10-14 days after the caesarean section, after consultation with your midwife or doctor. How often should I apply Cicafilm? Cicafilm is a silicone plaster that is changed approximately every 3 days. You can use it when showering, bathing or doing sport. Does Cicafilm also help with older scars? Yes. Regular use can also help to improve the appearance of older caesarean section scars and reduce the feeling of tension/itching. Cicafilm should also be used after lasering older scars. What if my scar feels hard or raised? Gentle massage and continuous care are the first step. If the scarring does not improve, a dermatologist can suggest further treatment options. Is itching normal during scar healing? Yes. Itching is a typical sign of regeneration. Important: Do not scratch, but soothe with the right care. However, if the itching persists, this may also be a sign of a bulge/keloid formation. In this case you should consult a dermatologist immediately.

What to do about sunburn?
Sunburn in Summer: Causes, Prevention & Proper Skincare Even with careful sun protection, sunburns can still happen, especially during the height of summer. But what exactly occurs in the skin when you get sunburned? And what can you do to prevent and treat it effectively? Here's everything you need to know, backed by clear facts and practical tips. 1. What Happens During a Sunburn? A sunburn is an inflammatory reaction of the skin caused by excessive exposure to UVB radiation, comparable to a superficial first- or second-degree burn. Symptoms usually appear 1–2 hours after sun exposure and may include: Clearly defined redness A feeling of heat, tightness, and occasional itching In severe cases, blistering may occur Symptoms typically peak within 12–24 hours and subside over several days. As the skin heals, it often peels. 2. Sunburn & Skin Cancer: Why It Matters Sunburn is not just a cosmetic issue. Every burn from UV radiation can damage the DNA in skin cells. If this damage is not fully repaired, it increases the long-term risk of skin cancer, especially: Malignant melanoma Basal cell carcinoma Squamous cell carcinoma 📊 In Switzerland, between 2017 and 2021, an average of 1,794 new cases of malignant melanoma in men (31 per 100,000) and 1,512 in women (25.7 per 100,000) were reported annually. The mortality rate stands at about 2.6 and 1.5 per 100,000 respectively (Source). 👉 Every sunburn contributes to your lifetime risk—making consistent protection and aftercare essential. 3. How to Effectively Protect Your Skin To prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage: Avoid direct sunlight between 11 AM and 3 PM Apply sunscreen generously and frequently, especially after swimming or sweating Use a high SPF (50+) even on cloudy days Wear protective clothing and a hat Pay extra attention to sensitive areas, like the nose or décolleté ✅ Our tip: Lotion multi‑défense SPF 50 by DECALYS not only protects against UV rays, but also environmental stress and blue light—ideal for sensitive skin in urban environments. 4. What to Do After a Sunburn If your skin is already red and burning, targeted care is essential. Cool and Soothe Use lukewarm water or cool (not icy) compresses to reduce heat and discomfort. A grandmother's tip: Applying cool quark or plain yogurt to reddened skin provides quick relief. Avoid further sun exposure immediately.

Conclusion: Prevention & Care Protect Your Skin and Health A sunburn isn’t just a harmless redness—it’s a stress response of the skin and can increase the risk of skin cancer over time. That’s why: Consistent protection with sunscreen, clothing, and shade is key Quick, regenerative care is crucial when redness occurs Taking skin health seriously ensures long-term resilience And last but not least: red skin does not simply turn brown. That is a myth !

What to do about abrasions?
Abrasions occur when the skin brushes against a rough surface. They can affect the knees, palms, elbows, and face. Typically, only the top layer of skin (epidermis) is abrased. Such abrasions should be cleaned and disinfected. It is recommended to let them air dry. In these cases, the care balm helps. LE BEUM . LE BAUME was the first product in the Decalys Medical line and is therefore the number one product in every respect: Thanks to its combination of active ingredients, Le Baume is a valuable aid for many skin problems. Its Alpha-3 Complex® promotes skin regeneration and contains zinc, which has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects. Consult a doctor if you have large and/or heavily contaminated wounds, abrasions near the eyes, heavily oozing or festering wounds, or persistently bleeding wounds.

Gaga trend baby cosmetics on social media
Dr Enderlin answers the questions of the Newspaper Blick , published on Tuesday, 24 January 2023 Facial care for toddlers? Yes, it really exists They press, stroke, and knead – mothers present on TikTok how they want to improve their babies' skin. This can be damaging, says Valérie Enderlin. The dermatologist knows which products are truly necessary for baby skin. Ice for swollen cheeks? The little girl seems very skeptical. The mother cleanses her little daughter's face with a wet cotton pad. Then she takes so-called "ice globes" – ice-cold balls made of glass or plastic – and rolls them from the corners of her mouth over her cheeks to her ears. This is supposed to soothe and reduce swelling. But the skin is pulled in all directions, and the little girl looks anything but relaxed. TikTok is brimming with videos in which mothers demonstrate step-by-step how to care for their babies' and toddlers' skin. The pressing, stroking, and pulling seem harsh and almost like torture. Valérie Enderlin, director of the Decamed skin and laser center in Zurich, also finds the treatments pointless. "Ice massage, in particular, is excessive," says the doctor. "Cold objects can soothe sore spots in the mouth during teething, but on the skin, they're too much of a good thing." What the mothers may mean well is actually counterproductive: Since the skin of babies and children is much thinner than that of adults, intensive and excessive facial care can, according to the expert, even be harmful to the skin's protective barrier - this is the top layer of the epidermis, which acts as a natural protection against bad bacteria or allergens. "Basically, healthy baby skin doesn't need any special treatment," says Enderlin. The face doesn't need to be cleaned with cotton pads or any other products. The expert recommends a lukewarm bath with a little almond oil about every other day. Moisturizing isn't absolutely necessary, except for children who are prone to skin conditions like eczema. "In winter, it's also a good idea to protect your cheeks with a moisturizer before long walks in the cold air." She says creams with ingredients like ceramides, glycerin, zinc, or almond oil are well-tolerated. Certain additives such as antibacterial substances or certain preservatives should be avoided, says the dermatologist. "Perfumed creams are also unnecessary and can irritate the skin or even trigger allergies." When it comes to caring for baby and children's skin, less is definitely more.

Understanding Sclerotherapy.
Introduction Spider veins can be a nuisance, but with the right treatment, you can bid them farewell. Dr Enderlin is here to guide you through sclerotherapy, a non-invasive procedure offered at DECAMED that effectively deals with these unwanted veins. What is sclerotherapy (sclerosing treatment)? Sclerotherapy involves the obliteration of veins, ranging from tiny spider veins to larger ones. Dr Enderlin uses the approved sclerosing agent aethoxysklerol* to induce a controlled inflammation in the veins. This process leads to the veins sticking together and eventually fading or becoming invisible. Patients typically undergo 2 to 4 treatments, each at least a month apart, for significant improvement. Wearing a compression stocking after treatment aids the adhesion process. * approved in Switzerland The treatment process Sclerotherapy is a virtually pain-free outpatient procedure carried out in the DECAMED Skin and Laser Center's operating theater. The areas to be treated are disinfected and the sclerotherapy product is injected using a fine needle in a highly targeted manner. The procedure is short and lasts approximately 30 minutes to one hour. Sclerotherapy vs. other methods Sclerotherapy stands out as a highly effective, cost-efficient, and minimally invasive option compared to laser treatments. It's the preferred method for treating spider veins at DECAMED . Risks and complications Sclerotherapy is a low-risk procedure, but like any medical intervention, side effects may occur in very rare cases. Sensitive skin types and those exposed to the sun too early may develop brown streaks on the skin. These correspond to pigment deposits and fade over time. Consistent wearing of compression stockings and avoiding the sun in the first 6 weeks can help prevent this side effect. Post-treatment care After sclerotherapy, patients may experience temporary discoloration, itching, and minor bleeding. Compression stockings are recommended for the first 24 hours and continued throughout the day for a week. Vigorous sports and hot baths (sauna…) should be avoided for the next 2-3 weeks. Patients should also refrain from sunbathing for 6-8 weeks to prevent hyperpigmentation. Results and expectations Patients often see significant improvements after just one treatment, although multiple sessions may be necessary for optimal results. Dr Enderlin recommends sclerotherapy for its excellent clinical and aesthetic outcomes, coupled with low risks and side effects. Insurance coverage It's essential to note that health insurance doesn't cover the costs of sclerotherapy, as it's considered an aesthetic treatment. Choosing sclerotherapy Given its ideal balance of clinical effectiveness and aesthetic results, along with minimal risks, sclerotherapy is the treatment against spider veins recommended by Dr Enderlin. Conclusion Understanding sclerotherapy is the first step to beautiful, vein-free legs. For personalized advice and treatment, consult Dr Enderlin and her team at DECAMED .

Eyelid Lift and Scar Care: A Fresh Look at a New Life
“Behind Blue Eyes” by The Who, “She's Got Bette Davis Eyes” by Kim Carnes, “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, or “Ocean Eyes” by Billie Eilish: Eyes are the window to the soul, to the heart, and to the mind. They express emotions like no other organ. But what happens when, over time, eyelids become heavier, and the eyes no longer stand out as they once did? Can something be done about it? In this article, you will learn all about eyelid lift surgery, why it is performed, how you can tell if it's right for you, and when to consider this procedure. Why consider an eyelid lift? Managers and politicians, models and presenters – they all rely on a clear, expressive gaze. But eyelid lift surgery, technically known as blepharoplasty, is not only relevant for celebrities. Women and men from all walks of life choose this procedure to regain their alert gaze, full facial expression, and unique appearance. What is eyelid lift surgery? In an eyelid lift surgery, excess skin from the upper or lower eyelids is removed, depending on the case. The skin is then carefully stitched back together with very fine threads. These threads are removed after just one week. Although it is a routine procedure, it's essential to remember that every incision leaves a scar. Post-eyelid lift care Healing after eyelid lift surgery is a crucial step to achieve optimal results. This is where DECALYS Medical's LE GEL silicone scar gel comes into play. This transparent, non-adhesive silicone gel, rich in Vitamin C, forms a protective film over the closed scar. This ensures the optimal moisture balance for skin regeneration. Applying LE GEL is easy. It is spread in a thin layer over the scar, dries, and remains pleasantly flexible. Used twice a day for a minimum of 2 to 3 months (or as recommended by your doctor), LE GEL progressively improves the color, structure, and appearance of the scar. Where can you get DECALYS Medical LE GEL ? DECALYS Medical LE GEL is available not only from renowned plastic surgeons and in many pharmacies but also in our online store. Taking care of your scar after eyelid lift surgery has never been so straightforward. The risks of eyelid lift surgery Finally, it's crucial not to overlook the risks of eyelid lift surgery. As with any surgical procedure, there are certain risks, including infections, swelling, and bruising. It is essential to follow all your doctor's pre and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Overall, eyelid lift surgery can significantly enhance your quality of life. Your gaze will radiate once again, and you will feel more comfortable in your skin. If you choose this procedure, remember to take scar care seriously and rely on products like LE GEL from DECALYS Medical to achieve the best possible results.

How do I treat my acne properly?
The key to good acne care is daily cleansing of the skin followed by the application of a light cream or lotion. Cleaning agents that are too aggressive are counterproductive. Use only a mild cleaning gel for cleaning. Rinse it thoroughly with warm water. This prevents unnecessary irritation of the skin. It makes sense to use products with a low pH. Keratolytic products have a horn-dissolving effect. This means that they promote the shedding of dead skin cells. Skin prone to impurities usually produces too much sebum. Therefore, the skin care cream should not have an additional greasy effect. Even if it is sometimes difficult, pimples should be left alone or carefully cleaned by an aesthetician. Scratching or squeezing often leads to inflammation and scarring. A common misconception is that lack of care can cause pimples to appear. This is not the case.

Chemical peels
The top layer of skin renews itself about every 28 days. Peeling can support this process. There are different peeling methods, basically a distinction is made between mechanical and chemical peels. These can be applied at home or by a specialist, a beautician or a dermatologist. A peeling loosens superficial horny layers and stimulates cell renewal. The skin becomes more receptive to subsequent skin care products. How often healthy skin should be treated with peelings depends on the type of peeling used and the skin type. To find the best peel for you, it's best to consult your dermatologist. At DECAMED , we are happy to take time for you. After exfoliation, LE BAUME by DECALYS Medical is the ideal repairing care to soothe, regenerate and restore the epidermis!
