does it remove deep scars?

It's definitely helping me (an old small indented scar). I've been using it every night for 3 months now and the scar is slowly but surely filling in. I suggest you use msm cream along with another alpha hydroxy serum (like physician's formula), especially at night. The aha serum helps to exfoliate your skin, assisting the msm cream to penetrate deeper for it to work even better. Alternatively, you could use it right after using your Clarisonic/ home microdermabrasion system which pretty much does the same thing as an aha. The key is to be very regular in using the cream. I use it only at night, every single day. Either right after applying the aha serum to a freshly washed face or after using the neutrogena microdermabrasion system.

I'm not seeing any improvements in the scarring on my arms from eczema, but did notice it exfoliates the heck out of them! Fortunately I need that, but as a cream it's otherwise lacking if you want something to hydrate. I would recommend using this combined with something like cocoa butter or your lotion of choice. Personally I've gotten Triamcinolone Acetonide cream for the bad spots, but seriously there is little that helps eczema without constant attention.

no all this cream really does is make your skin dry no cream you use can get rid of deep scars trust me all you will be doing is wasting time and money research it online there really is no cure maybe with the exception of surgery

Majority of the scar is gone and there is just a slight resemblance that the scar ever existed..........

Continued and regular use of this product should help fade and/or lighten some acne scars. It will likely not work with very dark or deep scars, as those often reach beyond the epidermis (top layer of skin). This product should not be used if you currently have breakouts, as the exfoliation can irritate already sensitive skin.

I am not sure anyone here can give you that answer. The best bet is to contact Mederma directly and ask them. However, I believe this product works best on recent scars.

It works well to remove warts or skin tags or small moles. However, after using the product a red blister about the size of a dime will result. The blister heals within 7 to 10 days, but a red mark can remain for weeks. I have used this product over several years and it has never left a permanent scar, but you will definitely have a red mark for 4 to 6 weeks. It's up to you if you want that on your face. Good Luck

I can tell you what it did did for me after using, pores become smaller skin tone seems to even out.. I'm not sure about scarring, that I don't have. I can also say this gives your skin a very fresh feeling, hope this helps you out...

Are you looking to remove them or something to sooth them? This makes a difference, yes it works on soothing and softening skin. But not for removing any scar tissue or open cuts.I hope this was helpful.

It won't make scars disappear but will soften and help reduce scar tissue by massaging a little extra each time used, as will any good skin cream.

I used the product on a small facial scar next to my nose.Used the product on a small facial incision next to my nose. Had some bad cells removed. Healing was really remarkable for me. I have read reports from others (Amazon) that it has assisted others on older scars as well. I do know the product tends to smooth things out. While expensive, it was a good purchase. I cant attest to whether it will work for you as I'm not a medical professional and I do not know the extent of the damage as it applies to your situation. I would seek advice of a Dermatologist or your family physician. I used the product on a small facial scar next to my nose.Used the product on a small facial incision next to my nose.

Yes, although I have currently been using if on a scar and it will soften it but not lighten it as the adult version does.

I haven't seen a difference. It does make your skin peel so it's probably doing something. I've given up on it as far as my face sun damage spots go and use it on my chest at night to see if it evens that area out. It's best to go to a Doctor to have laser to remove it. A procedure called Clear and Brilliant is very gentle and it gets rid of acne scars. :)

You will certainly feel good about how it lightens any dark area where you have those atrophic scars, if its dark it will help fade it. Atrophic scars require some form of fillling in to make it completely go away and scar creams or gel will not do that completely. They have the Healing Touch derma roller which may help. Derma rollers increase the collogen in the area where its used and that will usually fill in gaps. It works best when the gap is fresh. It is been a long time then it maybe laser treatments if that.

That I don't know. It has only been used to lighten or eliminate dark spots. There is a product, that you can purchase in a CVS, Rite Aid etc., that is supposed to eliminate scars. I ran across it by chance looking for sun screen.

I'm sorry, my scars are a year old and very hypertrophic, so I don't know. As they improve, there is only the original surgical cut visible, but is a very slow process. It might be worth a try, I hope it works for you!

Yes. I removed a wart with it successfully. It takes several applications and left a small scar, but the wart is completely gone.

It works best on new scars. If you have old scars, sundamage or hormonal pigmentation this product is not going to be what you are looking for. I would recommend getting a doctor prescribed treatment for more stubborn pignmentation.
