What are post-surgery recovery supplements?

Post-surgery recovery supplements offered by HealFast are nutrition-based formulas designed to support healing after surgery. These supplements include key vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and antioxidants that help repair tissues, reduce inflammation, and support immunity.

Do pre-surgery supplements really help with recovery?

Yes. Pre-surgery supplements help prepare the body by improving nutrient levels before surgery. They may support immunity, lower inflammation, and promote faster healing when taken 1–2 weeks before surgery, as advised by a doctor.

How soon after surgery should I take the Post-op Supplements?

Immediately! As soon as you’re able to swallow capsules, start HealFast to stay ahead of complications and kickstart your recovery. There’s no reason to wait!

When should I start post-surgery scar care?

Post-surgery scar care involves keeping the incision moisturized, protected, and supported while it heals. Scar care typically starts once the incision is fully closed and your surgeon gives approval.

What is silicone scar gel used for?

Silicone scar gel is used to improve the appearance of new and existing scars by keeping the skin hydrated and protected. It helps flatten, soften, and lighten scars from surgeries, injuries, burns, or acne.

Are silicone scar sheets and tapes the same?

Both silicone-based scar sheets and tapes use medical-grade silicone to hydrate and protect scars. Sheets are larger and best for flat, low-movement areas, while silicone tapes are thinner, stretchable, and better for curved or high-movement areas like the abdomen, breasts, or joints.

How long should I use silicone scar sheets or tape for best results?

Most surgeons recommend using silicone sheets or tape for 8–12 weeks, and sometimes up to 6 months for thicker scars. Daily, consistent use typically produces the best improvement in scar appearance.
