How beneficial may this be in reducing the scar tissue I have around my recent surgery? I am about to have the staples removed on the incision area.

Hello my dear to be honest with you I don't think this kind of cream will help you I guess collagen creams will be helpful in your skin repair

I do not believe this product is meant to reduce scars. It is a super soothing disinfectant. This is an ionic silver gel that I believe can help heal wounds or prevent infection. This gel in a stronger form is used in hospitals especially on burn victims. A different product named Strivectin-SD is meant to reduce scars. I have used it for several years as it seems to be great for my skin and appears to soften both scars and wrinkles. Good luck...

I'm sorry I do not know the answer to that question. I purchased this product to make lotion, and while I know that it works wonders for dry skin, I can't definitively say whether or not it could help regenerate scar tissue. Sorry!

Yes I have a key loud scar and they have flattened and lightened my scar. It also helps the itching and burning.

I was instructed by my surgeon's staff to apply a very thin layer over my scars. They stressed the very thin part. They also told me to massage my scars, but I didn't get the impression it was with the BioCorneum.

My husband cut his arm, cut being about size of half dollar and shaped like horse shoe. It peeled skin and flesh back and I pulled skin and flesh back down and used gauze and poured celox right on wound, as much as would stay covered with gauze and wrapped with small ace bandage, all I had to hold in place until we could get to doctor. Stopped bleeding and doctor had trouble getting off to put on stera-strip. Worked great in fact he has no scar. Highly recommend carry with you all time, we have needed it twice and I do like smaller package, just right for small to medium cut.

I believe I've read about the use of TCA for tattoo removal. I would totally avoid the face and neck area with 50%. I have scarring on my face in places.

Works great, especially the heat element on scar tissue from a joint replacement. I have a noticeable improvement in scar healing and relief from the surrounding tightness.

I wouldn't use on an open wound. I use as instructed by my physical therapist (after breaking my wrist) to put on my scar to help reduce its appearance.

I have not used on old scars specifically. It does work however on new scars and make them better

I agree that you should check with your doctor, but it is designed to cover wounds and allow them to heal. In my case, the wound was not appropriate for direct use, but my skin was so sensitive to tape that we used this product as the vehicle to adhere dressing tape to so that my skin only had to deal with the removal of this product every 5-7 days instead of tape 3 times a day. This product was recommended to my nurse by my surgeon.

Yes, I am currently 6 months pregnant with my 2nd child and using the belt. I had a c-section with my 1st baby and the incision was done on the bikini line. I am not having any discomfort or tenderness on the scar area, and the belt line does press on that area. If you don't have any current tenderness or sensitivity in that area, you should be fine.

It's very easy to cut the gel pad into small pieces. You'll want the pad to cover the scar tissue as well as a slight margin all the way around to secure it.

My plastic surgeon recommended it after 6 months of my surgery. He told me this product's composition would help stop the scars from thickening. I've been using it for 6 months now and my scars have not thickened, so I guess it works.

In my case, it doesn't work very well on decreasing the redness of the scar. I have been using it for 4 months now. All that I can say is it works to stop the scar from spreading out, and softens it as well. However, to minimize the scar would take a rather long time (imo). The bottle would last me another 5 months, and I hope I could see some distinct results.

HelloI think that you should purchase the HA because it's the best of both worlds. It's helped me with a scar that I've had for a very long time.
