This was conducted from September to December 2005 by the Photobiology Laboratory of the Medical University of South Africa - an internationally recognized clinical test laboratory that has conducted clinical studies for most of the major multinational cosmetic and toiletry companies over the past 15 years.
Improving the Appearance of ScarsBio-Oil should be massaged in a circular motion into the scar and surrounding skin, twice daily, for a minimum of 3 months. Younger scars have a greater chance of improvement within a shorter time period, however, older scars will also benefit from the regular use of Bio-Oil. On new scars, Bio-Oil should be applied only once the wound has healed, and should never be used on broken skin.
