Science

Novo Thera advances the Standard of Care (SOC) for the nonprescription topical treatment of wounds and scars.   

The current SOC uses petrolatum-based ointments, often formulated with medical grade silicone, to maintain an occlusive (moist) environment to protect healing.  This is a prophylactic approach to wound and scar care.  

Novo Thera products use a fundamentally different Mechanism of Action.  Powered by NovoSerum, a patented formula of cell-free growth factors derived from human umbilical cord serum, they signal fibroblast cells to activate new tissue growth, which interrupts and reverses scar formation and produces noticeably faster healing.  This is a proactive, regenerative approach to wound and scar care. 

True Story

Progress often begins with a problem, and our founder had one.  A Mohs surgery complication required a skin graft his surgeon performed successfully.  To protect the resulting open wound, the surgeon recommended the current SOC, a petrolatum-based ointment.  Our founder chose to use Rapid Healing Cream instead.        

The results stunned his doctors.  On his first follow-up visit, one asked “Does everyone in your family heal quickly?”  His primary surgeon said, “Keep on doing what you are doing, it’s working.”  That surgeon later cancelled a scheduled dermabrasion and dismissed the contemplated scar revision surgery as unnecessary since there were no visible scars to revise.  (See Mohs pics.)

A More Effective SOC

Medicine is conservative.  Standards of Care evolve slowly, taking years for academic medicine to accept, and more years for medical practitioners to adopt.    

The SOC for the nonprescription topical treatment of wounds and scars has not materially changed in decades. During those years regenerative medicine pioneered innovative, life changing treatments based on new molecular insights and technology using stem cells and human UCS growth factors.  Novo Thera products use those insights and technology to deliver faster and better wound and scar care.   

Novo Thera’s mechanism-based technology will become the new SOC for wound and scar care.  Novo Thera Rapid Healing Cream and Scar Cream are now available without a prescription.
