In a phase I trial, SNT-6302 showed early signs of remodeling the skin within people’s scar tissue.
Scientists in Australia conducted the study, a phase I trial of a tropical cream developed by the company Syntara. People applying the cream experienced no major side effects, they found, and the drug appeared to trigger changes in the skin within older, or mature, scars. Though these results are still early, they may point to a potential treatment for otherwise permanent scars, the researchers say.
I wonder what’s the range of effect of this. We have some people out there with burn marks and scars that may be on the face as well, and they aren’t of the “cool” looking variety.
Wonder if this works on stretch marks
Hmm, I wonder if this works on all types of scars or if it’s more ‘selective’. Cuts and scrapes only. Would it work on scars from chemical burns, friction burns, fire related burns, or what about stretch marks?
Every cream is experimental if you don’t know what it does
