Condition: Wounds
Whether caused by a sudden trauma, such as a cut from an accident or surgery, or by chemical services to treat over-oxidized skin conditions, a wound can be something that heals completely or becomes a permanent new "sign" of trauma on your body.
Depending on the severity of a wound, the healing process may take days, weeks, or even months. The stages of wound healing include:
-
Inflammatory Phase : This first phase of wound healing is approximately two to five days and consists of inflammation on and around the wound area.
-
Proliferative Phase: This phase of wound healing last approximately two days to three weeks. Fibroblasts lay bed of collagen (connective tissue of skin) and the wound edges pull together to decrease the wound and epithelialization occurs.
- Remodeling Phase: This final phase of wound healing can last three weeks to two years. New collagen forms which increases the strength to the wound area and scar tissue may form. The more severe the wound the more likely a scar may form.
The Wellness Solution
The wellness approach uses nature's own Vitamin C and Vitamin E to help in all stages of wound healing. To help the skin renew, and to improve the appearance of the wound healing, we suggest Vitamin C followed by Vitamin E will help in all stages of wound healing for the following reasons:
- Due to their anti-inflammatory properties, Vitamin C and Vitamin E can help reduce inflammation in the early stages of wound healing.
Vitamin C can help skin regenerate by increasing collagen synthesis (the connective tissue of skin).
(Clinical Research)
- Vitamin E can improve the healing process of the wound.
(Clinical Research)
- Vitamin E can help modify scar formation.

It is most important to realize that any wound has the potential for infection. Care should be taken to defend the wound against bacteria or viral infections that could enter the wound early in the healing process. Therefore, follow your physician's recommendations regarding infection.
Use Vitamin C and Vitamin E to protect the wound against free radicals that might enter the skin during the healing. A wound usually involves the exposure of skin layers below the protective stratum corneum. Therefore, care should be taken to cover those areas from any aggressive oxidation and sunlight exposure.

Dear Malibu Wellness:
I would like to thank you for the products I have used from your company. After using many other products yours are the only products that work!
I had many months of issues of swelling and pain inside both nostrils (sores within my nose). I had used Neosporin, Vaseline and numerous other things without positive results. I thought I would have to go to a doctor at this point. My best friend encouraged me to use the EC Mode Zinc C Thera-Serum. I had used it for other issues and I was sure it would work and it did within a week!
Thank you!!! You have a great company!

My cat got in a very bad fight and had an open wound that was very large and very bloody. I cleaned it and applied EC Mode Zinc C Thera- Serum for the next few days. In just four days the wound healed and dried up like a miracle! It is wonderful for human wound healing, too!

Jami lives in sunny Tuscon, Ariz. and loves to be active. She believes in exercise and team sports. Unfortunately, two of her sports left Jami with injuries to her knee; a torn meniscus from playing soccer and a torn ACL ligament playing football.
In 2001, she underwent arthroscopy, which left her with three incisions on her left knee. “The incisions themselves were actually painful. It didn’t seem like they were healing properly or at least fast enough for me. A week after the procedure, I still had stitches and the next morning I got up and my stitches actually opened up. The doctor told me to keep putting Neosporin on it and just keep it clean. But they hurt so much on their own; it was definitely sore.”
All in all, 2001 was not a great year health-wise for the athletic Jami. “This was actually my 16th surgery for the year.” She knew what to expect in terms of scarring from the doctors and from her own experience. “Usually when you have an incision that wide open, it would be dark purple and even protruding and leave a raised scar, and I didn’t want that!”
As it turns out, Jami’s job ended up helping her prevent that scarring from happening to some of these incisions from the surgeries. Jami is a Sales Representative of skin and hair care products to professional salons in Arizona. When her company decided to represent the product lines of Malibu Wellness, Jami was given an opportunity to attend a Total Oxidation Management seminar given by Tom Porter.
“When he gave the seminar, I remember Tom Porter actually saying that the fresh dried Vitamins C and E would help heal and prevent scarring. I was pretty interested. I understand that the Vitamin C could cause slight sensitivity to the wound initially but that it would subside after daily repeated application. I decided at that point that I should try it. I asked my doctor about it and he said that Vitamin C is good, but, it depended upon the quality of the product.”
Jami decided to try her own experiment to test on her own skin the difference the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum could make. “I started with only applying the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum on one particular incision, which was actually the worst one. I applied it three times a day; once in the morning, once in the afternoon and once in the evening, with the EC Mode® Hydro-Driver Moisturizer applied to the wound right afterward,” she says.
“To my surprise it really didn’t burn or sting at all! Since I really wanted to see the difference for myself, I decided to just apply the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum on one incision, and leave two incisions alone without applying it.”
The rapid results caught her off guard. “I was very surprised. I actually had a visit with my doctor after I had tried this experiment and he was also very surprised! I had kept applying the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum for about 4 days to that one incision, and it just healed up in four days!”
Jami had decided she had seen enough to convince her she wanted the other incisions included in her Total Oxidation Management plan. “I started using it on the other incisions about four days later and they also healed in two days. The worst one that should be very noticeable now only has a very small scar, more like just a little incision.”
“I know it made a difference because I know how fast it healed and it hadn’t healed at all in that first week before.”
Jami decided to document her experience, but unfortunately, doesn’t have a picture from day one after the surgery. “I didn’t take a before picture immediately, but I took one the fourth day of when I started using the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum on both sides. And you can see that even my worst incision isn’t bad now.”
“It’s helped, it really has!” So much so, that she’s started using the same EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum on her face to manage other oxidation problems. “I use the EC Mode® Vitamin C Serum, EC Mode® Hydro-Driver Moisturizer and EC Mode® Facial Cleanser twice a day on my face. I’ve used the kit (EC Mode® Wrinkle-Less Kit) long enough now to notice that my sun damage is fading.”
She’s now busy educating her clients, family and friends about the importance of Total Oxidation Management, especially after her own experience with the wounds on her knee convinced her after just four days of use. “When we first got distributorship, I started spreading the word. Even my husband uses the EC Mode® skin care line!”
“These EC Mode® products really do work, and my own extended family members have noticed. My stepmother is a Mary Kay® distributor, and my own mother has been a longtime fan of Lancôme®, but they both acknowledge that EC Mode® is a pretty cool line!”
