Core Tip

Core Tip: Hypertrophic scars are common after surgery and often result in social, emotional, and psychological effects. Many treatments have been tested and the most prominent one is silicone gel. However, this form of treatment has complications related to hot weather. JUMI anti-scar cream is a phyto-chemical based silicone gel that was found to be quite efficacious in reducing post-surgery scars.
