Hexilak Ultra is a high-potency, advanced scar management gel manufactured by Menarini India. It is clinically indicated for the prevention and reduction of hypertrophic scars and keloids resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma, wounds, and burns. The formulation is distinguished by its proprietary CCP Technology (Ceramide, Vitamin C, and Polymer), which creates an invisible, breathable, and waterproof occlusive film over the scar tissue. This “invisible dressing” normalizes collagen synthesis and regulates the hydration of the stratum corneum to flatten, soften, and fade scars over time.
The Science of CCP Technology
C – Ceramide: Restores the lipid barrier of the damaged skin, reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL). High hydration levels are critical for signaling the body to stop the overproduction of scar tissue.
C – Vitamin C (Ester): A stable form of Vitamin C (Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate) that provides antioxidant protection and helps lighten the hyperpigmentation (redness or darkness) associated with fresh scars.
P – Polymer (Silicone): A medical-grade silicone gel (Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer) that forms a protective, flexible layer. This maintains a balanced moisture environment and provides a slight pressure effect to flatten the scar.
Pharmacological Composition (Key Ingredients)
Medical Grade Silicones: The gold standard in non-invasive scar therapy. They provide the necessary occlusion to mimic a healthy skin barrier.
Pro-Vitamin C Ester: Specifically included for its ability to penetrate the skin and inhibit melanin production, targeting the discoloration of the scar.
Ceramides: Lipid molecules that help in the structural repair of the skin surrounding the scar, improving overall texture and elasticity.
Clinical Benefits
Scar Flattening & Softening: Effectively reduces the height and firmness of raised scars (hypertrophic and keloids).
Erythema Reduction: Significantly fades the redness and dark discoloration, helping the scar blend into the surrounding skin tone.
Pruritus (Itching) Relief: Calms the itching and discomfort often associated with the healing process of remodeling skin.
Superior Aesthetics: The gel is transparent, non-greasy, and quick-drying. Once dry, it can be covered with cosmetics or sunscreen.
Biocompatibility: Safe for use on all skin types and can be used on children.
Dermatological Application (How to Use)
Preparation: Ensure the scar is clean and dry. Use only on closed wounds where the skin has fully epithelialized (no scabs or oozing).
Dosage: Apply a very small, pea-sized amount. A little goes a long way with silicone-based polymers.
Application: Spread the gel in one direction across the scar. Do not rub back and forth vigorously, as this can irritate the delicate new tissue.
Drying Time: Allow the gel to air-dry for 2 to 3 minutes. If it takes longer to dry, you have likely applied too much.
Frequency: Apply twice daily (morning and evening).
Duration: For new scars, a minimum treatment of 2 to 3 months is recommended. For older, more mature scars, 6 months of continuous use may be required.
Safety and Storage
Indications: Hypertrophic scars, keloids, post-surgical scars, C-section scars, and burn scars.
Precautions: For external use only. Do not apply to open wounds, third-degree burns, or mucous membranes. Avoid contact with eyes.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Keep the tube tightly capped to prevent the silicone from drying out.
