my wallet. At long last a cream that actually lives up to it’s promises” Mariella Frostrup - TV presenter

* Innovative and advanced skincare product developed with cutting-edge technology * Dermatological approach

What is Heal Gel

* What is it? An advanced formula gel

* What does it do?- Protects and rejuvenates the skin layers thereby helping in the natural healing process.- Effectively reduces the appearance and reddening of scars flattening, and making these more supple. - Calms and soothes.

* Who created this magic in a jar?Five leading British Plastic surgeons, with the help of a renowned skin biochemist. They wanted an advanced formula that would help shorten the recovery time so that their patients could return to their normal lives as fast as possible. It took three years of trial to perfect the formula..

*Isn’t there anything else that you can buy that does that?Not all in one jar.

*How does it do it?The advanced formula contains a group of key essential ingredients which have soothing, repair and scar protective functions.

What is Heal Gel

* Why do we want it?Because the slightest problem on or under the skin, especially of the face, distresses us, we know that scar colouring and the associated discomfort following the trauma will go quickly to leave the least possible traces behind.

* How do we use it?Apply the advanced formula to any area of troublesome, but unbroken skin, two or three times daily as you need it.

Do not use it on open wounds or severe burns. We haven’t ever seen any allergic or untoward reactions to Heal, but be sensible as you would with anything; test it on apatch of normal skin and leave for an hour.

Use with care near the eyes.

"Every year hundreds of people have undergone surgery of some type which may leave a scar.

Our experience has shown that those who use Healgel have reported that they have a significantly reduced scar appearance using the product”

The feedback from patients who have used Healgel showed:

94% reported that Healgel was very soothing

82% had a reduced appearance in their swelling

85% said Healgel was highly effectively at reducing skin discoloration following the procedures

The Survey

* A total of 141 people were surveyed

Arnica Montana A plant derived ingredient which is well known for its effects on bruising is used as a natural skin stimulant to help in the reduction of skin discoloration.

Madecassoside An herbal ingredient used for its soothing properties on the skin and to increase the skin tone.

Haloxyl TM This key ingredient is easily absorbed into the skin structure working to promote the reduction in swelling associated with injury.

Glistin Glutamylaminomethyl Indole This is a peptide – a little chain of amino-acids, like proteins but shorter, in fact so tiny they can be absorbed readily by the skin. It maintains the structure of the skin to sooth and condition thereby reducing the irritation often associated with scars such as burning or itching sensations.

Biodynes® TRF® Derived from yeast, this essential key ingredient has cellular renewal activity the results of which can be seen in as the reduction in puffiness and swelling around the scar.

The science

The product owes its effectiveness to a formula which promotes the natural healing properties of the skin

1The Soothing Group

Collaxyl® Vinci02® More peptides to help repair the surface and undersurface layers of the skin, and stimulate the undersurface cells to make the protein collagen.

Oristine® This peptide’s job is to encourage the enzyme SIRT1, which helps regulate the way cells age and deal with stress.

Signalline® This tells the signalling enzymes of the body to pass on the message to regenerate the surface and undersurface skin layers and produce more collagen.

2 The RepairGroup

Polysilicone-11 A silicone that stays on the surface of the skin as a gel and seals it, so that the rest of the ingredients can work undisturbed. It also softens and flattens the visible surface of the wound. Plastic surgeons have used silicones for years to improve scars, and they are very successful in flattening early, red scars when the wound has fully healed.

Methylsilanol Hydroxyproline Aspartate Hydroxyproline is an amino acid, a big part both of collagen and of elastin, the protein that controls the elasticity of connective tissue fibres. It helps keep damaged tissue from losing its texture and stretchiness.

The Recommendations

“I was staggered. It’s remarkable. I mended so quickly! I was very surprised at how quickly it helped a quite complicated scar. I used it four times a day and I would say that within 3 weeks it was almost there. It was very, very good indeed.” R.S., patient

“I was amazed at how soothing and comforting the product felt on my tender skin after my operation and it reduced bruising within days. It smells divine and has a consistency that sinks into the skin. HEAL is truly amazing and is certainly a product that I will always have in the home.” F.K., patient

“I’ve tried many scar creams over the years, but they all feel greasy and don’t rub in well. I was amazed to see the difference in my acne scars after using HEAL for three weeks. The skin now feels soft and comfortable around the scars, and it was really itchy and red before.” F.B., beauty client

“I used Heal on our daughters appendix scar which was red and itchy. The itching stopped almost immediately and the scar

faded faster than I could have imagined.” C.M., mother

“My Scars were read and itchy

- this has made a world of a difference” F.K. London
