Answer: Post Surgical Tape Therapy Hello,Arnica is not marketed for scaring, but instead for bruising. However, there is virtually no evidence that it works. For scars, you are best off mechanically reducing the tension from the scar by using tape. A good product is Hypafix, which can be purchased on Amazon. Best of luck!

Answer: Scar care and Arnica Every surgeon has there own opinion about Arnica and scar care. I would check in with your operating surgeon and see what they feel is the best routine based on their surgery for you.I personally have patients start Arnica and recovery vitamins prior to surgery and I have them continue it after surgery. It helps with the bruising and swelling from surgery. As for scar care, I recommend a Silicone based gel, Silagen, twice a day for the next 2-3 months post op on their scars after their scabs are gone. I find better compliance with the gel then silicone strips which need to be on 16 hours a day to work appropriately.
