Doctor Recommended Scar Cream?

I have found that silicone, either in the form of a gel such as Biocorneum or in the form of silicone sheeting provides the best results for scar therapy.  If finances are a significant concern, I have seen nice results with the inexpensive Bio-oil.  Good luck!

There are several applicable scar creams available for different purposes. Plato's scar serum is excellent for hypertrophic, fresh, and old scars to help smooth a scar and reduce thickness. Melarase PM can be used to help reduce pigmentation and PIH.
They can be used together or separately.

Every patient heals and scars differently, but I personally recommend Novo Scar Cream to all my patients to use after surgery. It is effective on new and old scars and reduces redness and the discoloration of scars. I even used it on my son when he needed stitches on his forehead and I have had very good results with it.

There are no prodcuts to asuure consistent and reliable improvement in the appearance of scars. Avoidance of sunexposure is important and should be accomplished with high SPF sunblocks. Silicone gel is another effective ingredient in promoting the maturation of scars. Other than that, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, aloe vera, cocoa butter, coenzyme Q10, green tea extract, etc are all produts that may sound good but are essentially unproven.

I do not find any creams to be of particular use for scars. I usually recommend a good sun screen to both moisturize the skin and protect it from the sun.
