Scar treatments

[losingwait 1]

Anybody have any "miracle" treatment to gid rid of or reduce scars from surgical incisions?

Nope, and the commercial ones are pretty much useless as well. Some swear by Vitamin E, others use the silicone bandages which help if you can keep them on, I have oily skin so they end up coming off in a few hours.

Scarguard is one that I have used and it really helps. Alot of plastic surgeons recommend it.

My chiro has been doing cold laser treatments on them. I dunno if it'll help or not... stay tuned

The silicon pads are working great for me. One of my scars opened up a bit after surgery and was forming into a pretty wicked keloid scar. After about 3 treatments with the pad it is very noticeably smoother/flatter.

P.S. The strips were coming off of me too when I slept, so I just taped them down with that white bandage/surgical tape. Maybe that will work for you Rootman?

Scar guard is what my plastic surgeon recommended and it's working wonders. There is a big noticeable difference.

Maybe, I think I still have a few left from a few years ago scar from cancer removal I have. Even the tape starts peeling on me too but the super sticky foam like stuff seems to stick for a while. I'll have to shave the area to keep ... OUCH! ... the ... OUCH! ... hairs from pulling out with the tape though!
