Tamanu Study for Treating Scars: |
|
This study evaluated the ability of one test
product to improve the appearance of scars. Six subjects with
visually-obvious, aged scars (1 year old or more) were utilized for
the study. The subjects were restricted from using any moisturizing
products on the scarred area for a seven-day pre-test period and
throughout the nine-week test period. 0.5 ml aliquots of the product
were applied to the scarred area twice a day for nine consecutive
weeks. Product applications were performed by the subjects and
recorded on a product application tracking from provided to
them.
The subjects were evaluated prior to product
application (baseline) and each week for nine weeks at the testing
facility. Visual ratings of scar appearance (color, roughness, and
degree of difference from surrounding normal skin) and scar size
measurements (length and width) were performed. Quantitative
measurements of skin color for melanin (darkness) and hemoglobin
(redness) were made on he scarred and adjacent normal skin areas
using a Hexameter MX 18. Quantitative measurements of skin hydration
were also performed on the same sites. Digital photographs of the
scar were taken prior to product application (baseline) and again at
the end of week nine. The subjects completed a self-evaluation
questionnaire regarding their scar’s appearance prior to product
application (baseline) and again at the end of week nine. The
subjects also completed a product questionnaire that assessed their
likes and dislikes of the product.
A significant improvement in the appearance of scars after six weeks
of Tamanu Oil use was observed visually (Fig. 1). This improvement
continued through to Week 9 of the study. The overall size of the
scars consistently decreased throughout the study (Fig 2). The
length of scars was reduced by an average of 0.28 cm, and the width
by an average of 0.12
cm. |
