My Story

Michel Alvarez Founder and CEO
I suffered an injury at age 2, that split-open my left cheek and left a hypotrophic scar.  For a young, small, smooth face, the imperfection was pronounced.  In elementary school, I remember the first two questions when meeting new kids were: What’s your name? What happened to your face?
 
This went on for years.  It bothered me. I was embarrassed, and even ashamed. Eventually as a teenager I accepted it as other smaller scars from chicken pox and acne, along with facial hair, diluted the scar’s prominence.

But I am lucky.  It was not a large hypertrophic or keloid scar but just a small hypotrophic scar.  Yet I had a glimpse of what a person feels like when the multi-month wound healing and scarring process are not optimal.  After two years of research, my team and I developed CicaLux – Energized Scar Therapy.  I was among the first to use CicaLux. It improved my 5yr old hypertrophic shoulder scar.  We aim to help your scar too!
