Frequently Asked Questions:
How does physical sunscreen differ from chemical sunscreen?
Physical sunscreens are mineral based (such as Zinc Oxide, found in Skinuva Scar+) and sit on the surface of your skin acting as a shield or reflective barrier on the skin’s surface, protecting the skin from the sun’s rays. Chemical sunscreens partially absorb in the skin and prevent UV damage through a chemical reaction.
How often do I apply Skinuva Scar+ SPF?
To see optimal results, Skinuva Scar+ SPF should be applied twice a day for 3-6 months. It may be used longer for more mature scars. Please follow the instructions for use when going outdoors in direct sunlight. If you are going to be outdoors in direct sunlight, it is recommended to apply Skinuva Scar+ SPF every 2 hours while remaining outdoors.
Can Skinuva Scar+ SPF be used after a laser, microneedling, or chemical peel treatment?
Skinuva Scar has been studied and found to be safe for use after laser procedure, chemical peel, or microneedling. Although there is no reason to believe there would be any issue with the use of Skinuva Scar+ SPF after these same procedures, it has not yet been directly studied and therefore we cannot recommend its use at this time.
Why was Zinc Oxide used in Skinuva Scar+ SPF?
Zinc Oxide is very effective against both UVA and UVB rays, therefore it is a broad-spectrum sunscreen. It’s also very well tolerated on skin and safe for use in everyone, including child-bearing women and children.
