I had a scar revision on my collarbone 7 weeks ago. I started using Embrace after 2 weeks when my stitches and bandage was removed. I’m on week 5 right now with the Embrace. I am very happy with the progress. My question is can I or should I use Embrace longer than the recommended 6-8 weeks, and if so for how long?

Answer: Recommended Length of Time Although the data supports the use of this dressing for 8 weeks in total, many of my patients continue to choose to utilize this dressing after the recommended time. In fact, a subset of patients whose scar texture worsens after quitting its use will get a better permanent result if used for a course of 3-4 months.

Answer: Embrace is the BEST scar therapy Embrace is the only FDA approved scar treatment that is evidence based by scientific research through randomized controlled trials that shows that it works! It is a pre-stretched silicone sheet that is applied on the scar once every 10 days for 60 days. Using this scar treatment has been proven to reduce the appearance of scars and that is why we use it on all of our surgical scars. I highly recommend it! You can use it for as long as you want and I have patients that use it for 3-6 months.
