Do you struggle to treat old scars with effective results? Severely damaged skin requires very specific treatment strategies. While you may rarely see burns in your clinic, imagine knowing that you had the products and knowledge to significantly impact even the most damaged skin.
GERnetic International skincare was created to support a skin burns unit at the Hospital Foch in Paris. That is the reason why its healing powers are astounding.
Read on to discover the story of GERnetic and see some first-hand accounts of how GERnetic has helped burns patients restore health to their skin.
The Origins of GERnétic
The innovator behind GERnetic skincare, Dr Albert Laporte, was a French Cellular Biologist and gerontologist. He spent many years researching transdermal penetration or the absorption of skincare products into the body. In the early 1960s, Dr Laporte worked at a leading hospital in Paris. He researched treatments for burns that could relieve suffering and help heal and re-structure the tissues in cases of third-degree burns. In that environment, he developed his fundamental concept. This research revealed two incredible regenerating creams, Synchro and Cytobi, created and formulated to heal and repair severely damaged skin.
How do Synchro and Cytobi Work to Heal Burns and Scars?
Regenerative and nutritive, Synchro is the most important formula of the GERnétic range. It regenerates the epidermis cells and stimulates healthy cell turnover.
It is also anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial and has incredible healing properties. All of these assets make Synchro highly effective in treating burns or scarring. Packed with amino acids, vitamins, minerals and EFAs, Synchro is formulated to penetrate deep into the skin cells to truly heal. Synchro regulates skin functions and boosts skin immunity. It was designed to treat burn patients once the skin healing was underway and provides the correct balance of essential nutrition the cells need.
Cytobi is just as powerful as Synchro, if not more so!
It is super nutritive and packed with essential amino acids, proteins, vitamins and trace elements, all of which are essential to well-nourished skin. Cytobi boosts tissue regeneration and revitalisation and can alleviate several skin disorders linked to inflammation. Its healing and calming actions make it ideal as an anti-inflammatory and contain anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Cytobi is the cream you apply to a fresh burn because it can calm and soothe. Within a few weeks, you would start to apply Synchro on top of the Cytobi for added regeneration.
Treating Burns with GERnetic – Real Results
Of course, it’s easy to claim that our product works wonders, but often pictures speak louder than words. So here, we take a look at 3 case studies of real people with different but equally distressing experiences.
*Please be warned that the images contained in this blog may be confronting to look at.
Burns Treatment #1
This little boy was just ten years old when he was burned in an accident. His treatment with Cytobi began just over three weeks after the incident and following initial hospital treatment. The burns affected the thigh, stomach and hand. The treatment incorporated applying Cytobi twice a day. As the rawness diminished, Synchro was also added to the routine.
Take a look at this before and after photo – taken one year apart. The healing that took place using GERnetic skincare meant this young man didn’t have to endure skin grafts. What a result!
Burns Treatment #2
Who would have thought that lime juice could burn the skin? Well, that’s precisely what happened to Cassie. In these photos, you can see the initial burn and then three months later the healing that took place using Cytobi twice daily.
Burns Treatment #3
Dani received 2nd-degree burns from an IPL treatment by an inexperienced therapist.
As she didn’t start her GERnetic treatment until a few weeks after the initial burn, she was treated with a mix of Synchro and Cytobi. A few weeks later, we added the Immuno mask into the treatment by mixing it with Synchro. This boosted the regeneration process, and Cytobi applied on top provided extra nourishment and regeneration.
These results are taken over two months, with the first photo in the top left and the final photo in the bottom right. Dani reported her skin felt nourished and hydrated, and the redness, itchiness and tightness had gone. Her skin was now healthy enough for her to explore the next phase of her treatment using specific post-operative lasers designed to treat scars and damaged skin.
We were recently joined by our Technical Educator, Jemima Richards, to present on this very topic.

Fast forward to today, and you can imagine how powerful GERnetic skincare is on more everyday skin concerns such as ageing, sensitivity and pigmentation!
Here at GERnetic, we believe treating the skin holistically is the key to long-term skin health. This means we treat the external skin with nutrients and healthy natural ingredients to nourish and heal. But, we also understand the need to maintain a lifestyle that meets the skin’s needs. This includes eating well, sleeping, exercising, removing anything toxic to the skin, and managing stress. Emotional well-being is especially paramount in the case of burns, as well as ensuring the body gets the necessary vitamins and minerals it needs to assist in the healing of the skin.
While the above case studies are severe, Synchro and Cytobi can successfully treat old scars. By understanding the best treatment course, you can significantly impact the look and feel of damaged skin and allow your clinic to stand out from the rest.
