How it works

What is Strut Scar Formula?

Strut Scar Formula is a compounded medication that combines prescription and non-prescription medications in a pharmaceutical-grade scar-targeting gel. Strut Scar Formula may help reduce the pigment, size, and improve the texture of scars, making them less noticeable when used regularly and as prescribed.

How does Strut Scar Formula work?

Strut Scar Formula is a physician and pharmacist crafted combination of medications that target various aspects of scars, blended into a silicone-based scar gel. Triamcinolone is a topical steroid that may help reduce, flatten, and soften scars. Levocetirizine may help reduce the overgrowth of scar tissue during the healing process and reduce itchiness. Vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, is a potent topical antioxidant and natural skin brightener that may lighten the pigment of a scar and help it blend in.

What is a compounded medication?

A compounded medication is a prescription that is mixed up specifically for you based on your doctor’s request for specific strengths, ingredients, and dosage forms. Compounded medications are not manufactured, but made in compounding pharmacies by U.S. licensed pharmacists and pharmacy technicians that follow a formula ‘recipe’ customized to your condition to create an individualized medication for you.
