COMMON ASKED QUESTIONS

1) Will all injuries result in scars?
It depends on the severity of the injury. If the injury affects the dermis layer of the skin, it can lead to scarring. When the body responds to an injury, its self-healing mechanisms are activated. Fibroblast cells are stimulated to release collagen protein to repair the wound, resulting in scar formation. However, the size and visibility of the scar depend on various factors such as blood supply to the injured area, scar orientation, sunlight exposure, hormones, and individual body constitution, among other factors.

2）What is the difference between “HERBAP MATRIX" and regular scar gels?
Most scar gels on the market use silicone as their base, applying physical pressure to control excessive granulation tissue formation in the wound. However, the results are often not ideal. “HERBAP MATRIX" utilizes the latest patented technology with a bio-guided approach. It inhibits the overactive fibroblast cells, preventing excessive release of collagen protein and controlling the growth of granulation tissue. This effectively reduces scar formation.

3）What is the patented technology of "HERBAP MATRIX"?
Distinguishing itself from silicone-based scar products on the market, “HERBAP MATRIX" contains small molecules from the Dendrobium and Astragalus genera, employing a cell-guided approach. The product incorporates the following two patents:
1) DSM patented formula: It utilizes small-molecule "alcohol glucosides" to inhibit excessive granulation tissue formation in the wound, preventing scar formation.
2) SDAA patented antimicrobial technology: It prevents bacterial infection in the wound, accelerates healing, and softens, smooth, and lightens both new and old scars.

4）Can “HERBAP MATRIX" completely remove scars?
It is not possible to achieve a 100% complete removal of scars.

5）What is the difference between “HERBAP MATRIX" and silicone patches?
“HERBAP MATRIX" is directly applied to the scar and can be used on joints without affecting movement. It forms a thin and quick-drying layer. Silicone patches, on the other hand, are less convenient to use, especially on scars located at joints, as they can restrict movement and may not adhere properly.  “HERBAP MATRIX" gel is transparent and not visible, whereas silicone patches can affect appearance. Additionally, silicone patches require regular cleaning, and some users may experience skin sensitivity. It is advisable to consult with a healthcare professional to determine which scar product is suitable for your specific needs.

6）After a wound, how long should I wait before using “HERBAP MATRIX"?
