I think it did a good job lightening the redness on my scar.. It's still visible but definitely better. It's not as raised either now which helps. Good luck with your healing!

My scar did lighten a lot with use! It came to a point though that the color was staying constant, so I stopped using it. It has continuously lightened on its own and looks amazing now. The Scar Guard definitely got it to a good point though. I guess nature took over after I stopped usuage:)

The diminishing serum reduces the appearance of scars resulting from Surgery, Injury, Burns, Acne, Stretch Marks, Cuts, Insect Bites and more. The repair gel flatten and soften raised scars, reduces redness, fades discoloration, and relieves itch and discomfort associated with scars. Hope that helps!

Yes. So long as it is a raised scar. You should use it on the scar when the scar has healed over. You should apply Scarguard twice a day. You can use scotch tape to remove the previous application. Scarguard is designed to adhere to the skin and not wash off, which is why it is reliable and so much better than gels, oils or creams. It also not only creates collagenase-raising tension but also contains hydrocortizone which together melt the collagen, flattening and shrinking the scar.

It should help to soften the scar tissue. It will NOT remove it. It may slightly reduce the appearance, but it is not a clinical cream and not nearly strong enough to remove it completely.

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.

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.

I have not used on old scars specifically. It does work however on new scars and make them better

According to my Plastic Surgeon, it will work on raised and/or red scars. It does take a while. The package says to use for six to eight weeks. My surgeon said that I should wear the bandages for 20-24 hours a day for up to six months to receive the maximum benefit. I have used for four months on a large, hypertrophic scar and it has reduced the raised portion by half. The scar is still red, but that is to be expected for the first year.

Make sure to press the end without the rollers and roll them along the scar. Press a few times and and roll. It works great!

i would not recommend this product. it does not stay on for more than one day. piece continuously moved or rolled up. it was 75.oo waisted, i found pieces of aloe vera after the scab developed of stiches came out. this help tremendously to diminish the scar.

I have never tried it for an acne scar. Try it for a few weeks and see. Take a picture before you start to check progress.

They say you should wash them and reapply twice a day and discard after one week. That's easy if you have a small scar. I found the strips.did not last a week and became less and less adhesive within a few days, but they do suggest applying tape help hold them in place. After the expense of these strips, due to having long post surgical scars, I think it would be more financially

I found that using a vitamin c serum (I used a different one for this but this one looks fine) under a niacin cream at night helped. The niacin cream smells like play-doh and makes your skin flush while it's on, but it's worth it. I also took extra vitamin c (ascorbic acid powder) mixed with grass fed gelatin, and drank lots of water. It does help, but you need to be patient - keep it up for a few weeks.The extent of the effectiveness and how fast you see results depends on what kind of scars you have too. for me it was some skin discoloration; pock marks might take longer to improve.

Yes, it works with the scar as my husband got scar from chicken pox as well, but you can't apply every night as your face will burn and be more damage.

You can use them, but in my experience they won't be as effective preventing scarring. They will begin speeding up the healing process, but since the sore has already scabbed a light red or pink scar will most likely linger.

No. It only works on raised scars. There is no product currently available that works on sunken scars. Many products make that claim but it is physically and biologically impossible. Laser surgery can work on sunken scars - you should talk to a dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Scarguard works because is biomechanically attaches to skin and so does not roll up, fall off or wipe off like creams or patches. This means it keeps working 24/7.

Yes! My scars are 15+ years old and ScarAway helped. They are not gone, but much less noticeable.
