RescueMD's patented R+R Compound enhances the natural repair mechanism using a dual phase process: 1. Repair: When skin is damaged, the body begins a natural process of repair. During the repair phase, skin cells release a protein called CUL4A which supports the creation of fibrous skin cells that leave visible scars. R+R Compound bonds with CUL4A proteins inhibiting the formation of scars. Normal skin cells are primed for optimal repair. 2. Recover: As natural repair processes are underway, the R+R Compound continues to support the formation of healthy skin cells and prolong the recovery phase. As a result, skin recovers more completely and the appearance of scars and inflammation is minimized.
