Why Choose embrace®?

Three embrace® benefits, one beautiful outcome.

Tension Relief

embrace® works by contracting and gently holding a closed incision together, actively relieving the skin's natural tension to address the root cause of scarring. This stabilizes the skin, proactively preventing scars.

Stress-Shield™ Technology

This unique innovation protects your incision from added stresses caused by normal body movements, minimizing the widening and thickening of your scar.

Restorative Silicone

100% Medical-grade silicone therapy is proven to help flatten, soften, and fade scars by hydrating scar tissue for a beautiful finish.
