Elevate Care is specialized in the marketing and sales in Kenya of products for scar management and the (after)care of specific skin problems.
We work with the products from a Dutch Company called BAP-Medical for their below-mentioned products.
Our products are truly effective and the product effectiveness has been scientifically proven as per the studies included in the booklet.
For scar therapy, we currently have 3 brands in our portfolio:
- Alhydran (medical cream)
- Scarban (silicone sheets and gels)
- Bapscarcare (silicone sheets and gels)
All these products are medical device class 1 (MDD – MDR).
1 out of 2 scars resulting from surgery become hypertrophic and up to 90% of scars after a burn become hypertrophic!
In the international Scar Management Guidelines is stated that after wound closure there are 3 preventive measures you should start with: Hydration, Silicone Therapy, and UV Protection.
Alhydran is a unique medical cream for the aftercare of the skin immediately after wound closure and the treatment of the disrupted skin barrier.
Healthy skin has a stable level of Trans Epidermal Water Loss (TEWL) with the upper skin layer consisting of approximately 30% water. This level is necessary for optimal functioning of the skin.
Skin barrier disruption increases TEWL. This will result in a decrease in the normal water percentage in the epidermis, causing the skin barrier to malfunction. This vulnerable skin is unable to heal and protect itself.
Complaints arise such as severe itching, redness, dry skin, etc. This in turn can cause, among other things, unfavorable scar development, trigger eczema, and stagnation of wound healing.
The unique, proven effect of Alhydran ensures powerful hydration as well as moisture retention by acting occlusive.
In 2020 BAP expanded its Alhydran portfolio with a line of Alhydran Special Care Products (Eczema Care, Anti-Itch Care, Extremely Dry Skin Care, Post-Laser Care).
Our Scarban and Bapscarcare portfolio consists of state-of-the-art (pre-shaped) silicone sheets and silicone gels with and without sun protection.
Silicone scar therapy is the preferred therapy for both prevention and treatment of scars and is worldwide considered to be the “Gold Standard”.
Silicone scar products increase hydration of stratum corneum and thereby facilitate regulation of fibroblast production and reduction in collagen production.
With this unique portfolio for scar therapy and the aftercare of specific skin problems, we believe we can provide you with a complete line of products for the skin!
