The
two-month long Bio-Oil ‘My Scar My Story’ Campaign which was launched on

stories shared by women all over Malaysia to inspire other women who are
undergoing emotional distress as a result of their physical scars.
Bio-Oil 'My Scar, My Story' Grand Prize Winners
The
campaign draws to a close with the selection of the three most inspiring scar
stories submitted during the campaign period, which ended on December 31st,

Falenna and Arisa Chow; each with unique encounters and stories that serves as
an inspiration to others.

Caroline
Yap, 41, obtained slash wounds and survived 29 stitches from a snatch theft
incident but that incident has inspired her to take a different perspective in
life as to appreciate the little things in life, set her priorities differently
and most importantly live for the moment. Hajarul Falenna, 26, got her scar
from a surgery she underwent for scoliosis which reminded her of the sufferings
she went through but it has also changed her life for the better, as her is posture
now corrected. Arisa Chow, 22, who has multiple scars on her body, shared how
she underwent depression which led her to self-inflicted injuries and how she
overcame her scarring problems.

“We
would like to thank participants who have shared their stories with us. I hope these
stories have inspired and helped many find solutions to their physical and
emotional scars,” said Ms Low Hooi Wan, Bio-Oil’s Division Manager of Malaysia
and Singapore.
Apart
from offering an online platform for women to share their scar story, the
microsite www.myscarmystory.com.my also offered tips on scar management by Dr Nazirin
Ariffin, a renowned dermatologist from Pantai Hospital. The microsite received more
than 53,000 unique visitors and 77,000 page views. Though the campaign has
ended, Bio-Oil will still be maintaining its microsite until the end of March
with the hope of inspiring more women with the stories. Every scar has a story
that reminds us of life’s episodes but more importantly it also makes us stronger.
Bio-Oil has been clinically
proven to help improve the appearance of all types of scars, be it old or new.
Bio-Oil contains plant extracts such as Chamomile, Lavender, Rosemary and
Calendula oils, together with Vitamins A & E and the breakthrough
ingredient-PurCellin Oil™. Unlike regular oils, PurCellin
Oil™ delivers the
ingredients into the skin without leaving a sticky and greasy feeling. In a clinical trial that was conducted in proDERM
Institute for Applied Dermatological Research, Hamburg, Germany, 92% of the
subjects showed an improvement in the appearance of their scars just after 8
weeks.
Continuous use of Bio-Oil
can help minimise, reduce and lighten scars. For best results: Massage onto the
affected area in circular motion twice daily for a minimum of 3 months. Bio-Oil
should not be used on broken skin.
