Core 4 Healing System — FAQ

Quick answers from Dr. Meka—because healing should be clear, clinical, and a little luxe.

Who created the Core 4 Healing System?
The system was created by Dr. Nneka “Dr. Meka” Meka, DPM, MHA—a limb salvage surgeon specializing in wound care and scar prevention. Every step is evidence-based and designed with surgical precision.
Can I use the products individually, or do I need the full system?
You can use them individually, but Core 4 is engineered as a protocol. Using all four steps—cleanse, protect, smooth, and fortify—delivers the most complete outcome. Individual product pages include a reminder (and link) to the full system.
When can I start after surgery?
  • Step 1 — HaloMist™: Typically okay immediately post-op (per provider).
  • Step 2 — SweetShield™: For open wounds; apply thin layer and cover with breathable dressing.
  • Step 3 — ScarSilk™: Only once the incision is fully closed and dry.
  • Step 4 — SkinFortify™: Can be started Day 1 for bruising and continued through the scar phase.
Always follow your surgeon’s instructions.
Does ScarSilk™ help with keloids?
ScarSilk™ combines silicone (gold-standard for scar appearance) with onion extract, bakuchiol, and vitamin E to help soften, smooth, and support keloid-prone skin. Results vary by individual and keloid history—consult your provider if you are highly keloid-prone.
Are your ingredients “clean” and safe?
Yes. We avoid parabens, sulfates, and harsh alcohols. Each ingredient was selected for its role in wound hygiene, barrier support, collagen remodeling, or inflammation control. For external use only.
Can I use Core 4 if I’m not post-op?
Absolutely. Core 4 supports everyday healing: cuts/scrapes, minor burns, bruising, and the appearance of older scars or stretch marks. Use the steps that match your skin’s current stage.
How long does one kit last?
Typically 4–6 weeks depending on wound size, frequency of use, and how generously you apply each step.
Is Core 4 FDA-approved?
Core 4 products are cosmetic/wellness formulations inspired by clinical research. They are not FDA drugs and do not replace medical care. Always follow your provider’s guidance for wound management.
What if I have sensitive skin?
Our formulas are designed to be gentle. Patch test first: apply a small amount to inner forearm and wait 24 hours. Discontinue if irritation occurs.
