Question

I read a lot of reviews of women using silicone strips or an oil for there scar . I don't recall reading anyone using this product . What is your opinion ? I trust my ps I'm just curious because I didn't read about anyone yet using this product .

Don't waste your money on scar creams or special skin applications. They don't work. The best you can do is protect the scar is it is healing from trauma. Make sure your close don't rub on the healing area. Keep it out of the sun.

Hello, thank you for your question. The SkinMedica Scar Recovery Gel is the most effective topical gel or cream I’ve seen for reducing the appearance of scars, as long as patients start using it as soon as wounds heal. It contains a proprietary blend of ingredients that promote rapid healing and soothe the scar area. I recommend it to all my patients!

Thank
you for your enquiry.Each plastic
surgeon has slightly different recommendation for scar treatment following
operations and we at Aurora do not use SkinMedica but tend to use a silicone
gel such as Sicacare and possible silicone strips.

It
might be worthwhile discussing the reasons why your surgeon suggests SkinMedica
as they will normally have a good reason for doing this.AR

I have tried almost everything out there on patients over the past 20 years and in my experience I think that a relatively new product called Scar Recovery Gel is the most effective product in minimizing the appearance of scars. It is available without a prescription but usually only available through a physicians office. I will usually recommend it for all patients and have them begin applying it to a new healing scar within a week of surgery. Consult with your plastic surgeon  regarding specific insrtructions for your particular case. Best wishes, Dean Vistnes.
