ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an agent for reducing scar formation, which inhibits the scar formation by injecting sodium bicarbonate to the dermis tissue of the wound with a syringe to directly control pH of the wound site, namely, by alkalinizing the wound to inactivate TGF-β. According to the present invention, the agent for reducing scar formation by controlling the wound healing process can be clinically and immediately applied to the treatment of tylosis scar and keloid, etc., and is effective to the treatment of intractable fibrosis diseases. Also, the invention can be widely applied in many ways as an easy tool which can control the action of TGF-β in a living organism.
