Scar Treatment - which is better for scars, ScarAway Silicone Strips or bioCorneum cream?

Question

I have a large surface area that needs attention. I had three surgeries: Brachioplasty (Extended J); breast lift; and LBL 9 weeks ago. I am wanting to know which of these two is the best? Or do you recommend something else? How long should I continue using the scar treatment(s)?

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

I would use Plato's Scar Serum on the area followed by a combination of Ematrix RF, fractional RF and lasers, topical treatments, microneedling, and injections. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Los Angeles

Thank you for your question.  We are unaware of any direct head to head studies.  Plastic Surgeons have been using silicone sheeting for years.  Our office likes BioCorneum very much and recommends it to patients like yourself with scars.  It is a silicone base, with additional medicine.  We believe that it helps get good results in our incisional lines.  We see it as continuing the care of the patient's wounds. We usually start it at 3 seeks post procedure.  It is medical grade and supposed to be found only in a Physician's office or hospital.  Please call with questions.

Chad K. Wheeler, MD · Answer

I have need seen a head to head trial of the different products you mentioned to tell you which is the best but I generally recommend biocornium and silicone sheeting.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

I suggest a formal consultation with a laser and scar expert.  This may require combination treatment with lasers and skin care and microneedling.  Best, Dr. Emer.
