- Rosanne, Tummy Tuck Patient

"There’s a huge factor that sets Embrace apart: the dressings reduce tension on the scar. This is the key to having a tiny, smooth scar. This was a game-changer for me and I know it helped reduce the thickness and color of my scar."

- Gina Harney, Fitness professional + Tummy Tuck Patient

"The reason I use embrace® Active Scar Defense is because it is the only FDA cleared product that reduces tension on the incision as it heals. It is very easy to apply, comfortable, and stays on for 10 days."

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.
