Discover the benefits of Sándal IRP
Sándal intense Repair & Protect Oil (IRP) promotes efficient healing of wounds by significantly shortening the healing process. Especially in the case of chronic wounds, this accelerated healing process is achieved by a faster re-epithelialisation of the skin, and consequently to a complete wound closure and thus to a significant relief of any wound discomfort. The application is simple, painless and safe for the patient. Based on the stimulation of the corresponding skin receptors, this therapy is a complementary treatment method that accelerates the process of re-epithelialisation of ulcers and wounds by more than 30%*. The significantly faster wound closure and shortening of the healing process is achieved by the use of the active ingredient sandalore (synth. manufactured sandalwood oil). Used in the right concentration, it stimulates the OR2AT4 receptors in the skin and triggers a calcium-dependent signalling pathway, increasing kinase and cAMP levels. This increases cell proliferation and migration by 30%, two essential processes that promote cell regeneration. The stimulation of migration and cell proliferation, through the oil, already begins after 20 seconds. The regenerative effect of this therapy is scientifically supported by years of research and proven through application in clinical practice.

Relevance through innovation
Sandal intense Repair & Protect Oil (IRP) is a real product innovation in the field of wound treatment due to its unique combination of active ingredients. It is also the first and so far the only product on the market which was developed on the basis of scientific findings regarding the olfactory processes of the epidermis which catalyses the dynamic effectiveness of these processes, thus improving healing and regeneration of the skin. Given the fact that the current standardized wound treatments are only successful in 30-75% of the cases, it seemed relevant to search for new remedies and new methods to successfully treat patients with wound complications. Thanks to the ulcer expert Dr. Carlos Rivera, we came across the ground breaking research results on OR2AT4 receptors (within the keratinocytes) and their stimulation induced by sandalore. After thorough, lengthy research and successfully completed clinical trials, we developed the “Plus-Cells Formula”, the core of the active ingredient combination. (see: https://dotherapy.info)
How to apply intense Repair & Protect
The application is simple, painless and safe for the patient. The oil shows its effectiveness in both wound care and wound aftercare, as well as in direct wound treatment. The product must be applied to a clean and dry wound area, and if necessary, protected with a sterile dressing. A wound area of approximately 5 cm² is treated with three puffs of spray. The application volume of one spray puff is equivalent to about 0.1 ml. For greater efficacy the same amount of oil should additionally be applied to the dressing covering the wound. Then, as a final step, applying an extra dry/clean dressing on top. At each dressing change the product is reapplied. The product should be applied a minimum of 3 times a week. For faster and better results, the application should be done daily. This therapy is a complementary, supportive treatment method that accelerates the healing time of wounds and ulcers by more than 30%. The use of the oil is recommended for the treatment and acceleration of wound healing for e.g. diabetic dermopathy, ulcers, complex wounds and chronic wounds such as venous and arterial ulcers, decubitus, diabetic foot syndrome (DFS, stages 1-3), traumatic, neuropathic and oncological ulcers.
