Beauty Is As Beauty Does

I had 8 stitches on my face, 5 in one place and 3 in another location. The place where I had 5 stitches, I applied this religiously, several times every day. The place where i had 3 stitches, I applied it just about every day. About 3 months after I had the stitches removed and used Mederma, I had a chemical peel done,which is also a good way to diminish scars! Interestingly, the place where I had the most stitches but applied Mederma more frequently, it was fine. The other area, no damage done, but it actually stung a bit more there than anywhere else on the face. 2 wounds obtained at the same time, healed at different rates. I don't think that's a sugar pill effect.
The SPF can irritate some people's skin(it irritated mine a little), but for the first year, exposure to sun can cause permanent discoloration on a scar. IMO, It's best to tolerate a temporary little(very minor!)annoyance and heal well rather than not be irritated and have permanent damage.
When it comes to scars, the main goal is to stimulate the cell turnover rate. The most effective ways are chemical peels or laser resurfacing, especially for atrophic scars. TCA and glycolic peels are helpful, and most likely, you will need more than one treatment (depending on the strength of the peel). Regarding collagen and scarring: it will only plump up the skin temporarily- collagen is molecularly far too large to penetrate into the dermis. If you want to get rid of some scars, be them on the face or wherever, check out Glycolic Acid 35% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional) &TCA 20% Chemical Peel solution, 30mL (Professional). But also read up on them before you do them or have them done. Know what you're doing and what to expect.
Glycol 35% is a good starting point
I've never used anything else for scar treatment May 5, 2009

I had a mole removed back in November, after dealing with an ugly bubble-type scar for 3 months, I found an advertisement in a magazine for this stuff. While the scar has not disappeared completely, I have been using it twice a day (it recommended 3 times a day for 8 weeks on new scars, 3-6 months on existing scars) for almost a month now and I have noticed a significant change in appearance and size of the scar. Even other people around me have noticed how well its working. I haven't had any irritation or rash from it, it doesn't have a strange smell or leave any kind of smell on my body. I would recommend this to anyone trying to rid themselves of unsightly scars. If I remember to do it, I will update this again in another month regarding progress.
I love this product! March 23, 2010

I was shocked by how low this product was ranked, untill I remembered why I buy it and what its actually marketed for.
Over a year and half ago I bought this product hoping I had found a moisturizer that was proven to reduce acne scars. It also helped that it had SPF.
I felt I hit the motherload and I was right!
Whenever my skin feels irritates, I put this on and its soothed right away!
When I need sunblock, these baby works! I can actually feel the difference between the sun hitting the parts of my body that arent covered with this stuff!
This helps reduce my acne scars and any discoloration!
The only thing I wish was that the onion wasn't so strong or I could put this closer around my eyes.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff and they better not ever dicontinue it!
PS.
Be careful with the expiration
Significantly reduces itching and irritation on and around keloid scars December 13, 2009
QuincyAnn (Rural Midwest USA)
Mederma Cream with SPF significantly reduces itching and irritation associated with my large keloid scars. I previously had to use frequent and lavish application of hydrocortisone cream, which was only minimally effective at holding back the torment. With Mederma, typically one application in the morning and one at night is sufficient to keep most itching and irritation at bay.
Mederma does noticably soften the scar--which might explain some of the reduction in irritation. A little goes a long way, such that for me one tube of Mederma lasts as long as multiple tubes of hydrocortisone cream, making the price seem more reasonable by comparison.

My doctor recommended Mederma for surgery I had just had. It seems to be working just fine. I still have more time before I see big change.
You can't beat the price. I've looked everywhere. Happy with product and the price.
Thanks, Linda
