Developed by world-renowned plastic surgeons at Stanford University.

The embrace^® story actually started 20 years earlier. For years, the future inventors of embrace^® had been discussing the flaws of existing scar treatments—steroid injections, laser therapy, even further surgery to remove raised scar tissue—which were generally expensive, painful, or simply not very effective.

They discovered the idea of reducing tension on the skin by applying an innovative dressing that mechanically relieves the skin’s natural tension, and shields the wound from body movement and stresses. During the healing process, it stabilizes the surrounding tissue, preventing gaps in which excess scar tissue could develop. This unique mechanism of action helps prevent the formation of scars before they even start.
