Lamelle Pharmaceuticals proudly announces CENTAR, a groundbreaking line of scar therapy and stretch mark prevention products. This innovative range, featuring CENTAR Lotion and CENTAR Gel, offers effective prevention and improvement in the appearance of stretch marks as well as an improvement in the appearance of new scars from wounds. 

What we know about healing

Striae distensae, commonly known as stretch marks, result from an intense inflammatory reaction within the dermis, causing the release of elastase enzymes that degrade elastic tissue. Once formed, there is no conclusive evidence that stretch marks can be completely removed, making prevention a must.

The appearance of newly formed scars from injuries or surgeries, however, can be significantly improved if addressed early. Until now, few topical treatments are both convenient and clinically effective. This is where CENTAR’s healing power stands apart. 

The science behind CENTAR®

CENTAR’s active ingredients are designed to work in synergy, enhancing each other’s effects. However, Lamelle has elevated this synergy further with a technologically advanced formulation. 

Clinical studies have shown that Centella Asiatica extract reduces inflammation, aids in tissue regeneration, facilitates cell migration and boosts collagen production. CENTAR’s star ingredient, UDCA, is an ultra-distillate of active triterpenes derived from Centella Asiatica. Unlike typical Centella Asiatica extracts, which vary in concentration, UDCA is highly purified, standardised and, due to its unique extraction process, dramatically more potent. 

CENTAR’s second cutting-edge anti-inflammatory is Copper Tri-peptide (GHK-Cu), renowned for its impressive skin rejuvenation and healing properties. It promotes the production of new collagen and elastin, increases cellular turnover, and stimulates the creation of new blood vessels – all essential for optimal wound healing and scar minimisation.

CENTAR Gel also contains the extremolyte Ectoin, a naturally occurring compound that protects organisms in extreme environments to soothe, lock in hydration, increases skin elasticity and aid in barrier repair.
