2 weeks ago I fell and split my knee open.
7 hours in the hospital and it is confirmed that there will be no stitches
as there is not enough skin to stitch together.
The lecture about keeping the wound clean from infection,
how to properly change the dressing etc...meanwhile
I was already thinking about the massive scar that I am sure I will be left with.
I have worked with skin conditions for 20+ years but I am no doctor!
I followed my medical direction to a T, but there came a time when relief was not to be found. I turned to my Avene Thermal water.
I have used this product to soothe angry and irratated skin.
It's pureness and soothing properties are amazing on
Babies Diaper Rash, Cuts, Scrapes, Sunburns.
No stinging, just cooling refreshing relief.
Once again this product did not dissappoint~
But I needed more...that is where Avene's Cicalfate comes in
The product is to be used on:
- Cuts, scrapes, scratches, Burns
- Cracked skin, Stitches
- Hair removal, Diaper rash
- Post-treatment
and benefits:
Helps speed the skin recovery process
Provides a healthy skin environment to minimize a potential infection
Prevents signs of scarring
Fragrance-free, preservative-free, colorant-free
Avène Thermal Spring Water to soothe and soften the skin
Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic
What an amazing difference the use of this product has made!
(in conjunction with the medical direction provided by my Doctor)
The swelling has drastically reduced,
the itching has completely dissappeared.
The skin is soft and the angry lines that were forming scars have softened.
I realize I have a long way to go before my knee has completely healed,
but the use of the Avene products have made a significant difference!
...and my husband thought all skincreams are the same...pfffttt!!
