Answer: Use of silicone gels for scars Silicone gels for scars can provide some modest benefit to soften and reduce scarring. They are not magic, and often there are other better options your physician can discuss with you to improve scarring: laser resurfacing, cortisone injections, scar revision etc. For a thick, red scar, cortisone injections or pulse-dye laser can be quite effective.
