5 comments about ScarAway Professional Grade Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets - Full Dr. Recommended 12 Week Supply 12 Multi-Use Patches with Free Storage Case Included.

1. This is my second use of ScarAway. I have had problem scars from a few different procedures and had previously tried every possible treatment including some OTC creams, then coritsone injections and surgical scar revision. The creams (I tried Mederam and Scar Zone) did not work at all for me. I saw no change after many months of use. The cortisone injections were painful and agitated my scar further. After scar revision surgery my initial scar was altered for the better and I was hopeful, however, new scarring formed that was worse than ever. I went to a new dermatologist who recommended I use ScarAway sheets. I used the ScarAway patch and started to feel a difference in just a few days. My scar was already getting softer and less "stiff". I continued to use daily and every week my scar looked better and better. I could literally see the change each week and was thrilled. After completing treatment with ScarAway, my scar that was once thick and raised and extremely red with a shiny look, is barely visible. The texture is not shiny anymore and it became flat and redness completely went away. After everything else, I can't believe how easy this was. I wish I knew about it sooner. I could have avoided alot of grief and frustration, not to mention saved alot of $$. I wore my patch ALL THE TIME! I like that is covered up my nasty scar because even I was tired of looking at it. Happy to be done with that one. I am now using ScarAway on a new scar. On my doctors advise I am using ScarAway preventively to avoid the scars I had to deal with for years before. My stitches were removed last week and my doctor said to use ScarAway right away to prevent a bad scar from developing. I will re-post at a later date. For now...these ScarAway patches were a miracle for me. Thanks, AJ



2. I had a minor surgery (1-inch incision) on the back of my neck below the hairline about a month ago. The scar was healing fine for the first few weeks - just a pencil-thin line - then I went skiing... My jacket rubbing on the wound caused it to become hypertrophic. After trying Mederma for a couple of weeks, with absolutely no positive results, I ordered these pads for the first time to combat the scaring. By the way... Don't waste your time with Mederma, it was proven ineffective for hypertrophic scars. I began applying ScarAway the moment they came in the mail. After a couple of days the scar has become much softer and is not as thick and wide. The difference in effectiveness between ScarAway and Mederma so far is like night and day. Not sure how, but these pads really seem to work.
   
   The only complaint I have is that the adhesive is not as strong as I think it should be. The corners peel off often and I have to keep pressing the pad down to keep it attached to the skin. The instructions say that you can use medical tape to secure it, but in a place that it is exposed to the public (like the back of the neck), medial tape isn't the most attractive thing to use. At night, I have to cover the pad with a big bandaid to keep it from peeling off and ending up stuck to the pillow or lamp shade.
   
   Overall, ScarAway seems like a great product. It's very flexible and comfortable to wear. I like how you can wash and reuse them for up to seven days. Some say that the adhesive wears off after about 3-4 days but that hasn't seemed to happen yet - the adhesive isn't very strong to begin with. If these work like I hope they will, this will be a much cheaper alternative to scar revision surgery.



3. They are supposed to stick for 7 days but mine didn't stay on 2 days before coming off. They are also too small to cover my incision scars.



4. Compared to other silicone products used to treat or prevent scars, this product has a very thin film of silicone. It is too thin to be effective. I would not have bought it had I known. I would buy something else that is thicker and sticks better.



5. i have hypertrophic scarring (just like the "before" pictures for this product)-raised, red, and bumpy. after 4 years of looking at my unsightly scar, i saw this product and read the reviews. i figured, why not? i cut a very thin strip that just covered the scar portion, and held it in place (both ends, and in the middle) with cut-up strips of the sticky portion of "sports strip" band-aid brand band aids, because many of the reviewers noted that the ScarAway doesn't stay-on well. the sports strip band-aid really does the trick. it has to be the "sports strip," however, because i tried regular bandaids, and they didn't work. also, ScarAway by itself fell off fairly quickly within a day or so. anyway, i digress.
   
   the point is- after 3 weeks of continual use i would say that my 4 year old scar went down and became more normal skin colored by about 40 percent-ish.- about nearly half better, i would say. i'm actually shocked. i guess i just didn't think it would work on me.
   
   when i say continual use, i mean continual. i didn't bother to take it off- and even though it got wet and even came off my skin in the places where the sports strip was not holding it on while in the shower, when i dried off, it stuck back on my skin again, sports strip and all.
   
   
   so, i've put more of the ScarAway on, and hope for more improvement over the upcoming weeks.
   
   i recommend this product.

5 comments about Kelo-cote Advanced Formula Scar Gel - 15g.

1. Only been using it for a couple of weeks and I can already see it working. The scar tissue has gone down a little.



2. I had some old keloid scar from surgery, this gel prevents my scar from growing. but it takes a while to see the effect. It's a good product overall.



3. I have some scaring from surgery that I was not pleased with. A physician recommended Kelo-cote even for old scars. The results have been amazing. The thick scars that were there have almost completely gone away. I would highly recommend this product.



4. I had extensive plastic surgery and was very concerned because I have a tendency to form keloids. The surgeon in Brasil recommended Kelo-Cote, so when I returned home, I purchased three tubes. They were a bit expensive, but I decided if it worked, it was worth the price. Not only have my new scars flattened out and healed nicely, but my old scars have benefited from daily applications. I was also impressed at how little product is needed to make a difference. I have already recommended your product to several friends AND have leftovers for when future scarring!!! Many thanks for a great product.



5. I understand best results of the product if use for 90 days. I am using the product daily and see some results.

5 comments about ScarAway Long Silicone Scar Healing Sheets - Contains the full Dr. Recommended 12 Week Supply.

1. I used Scarway on my burn scars and had amazing results. My scars were initially dark red and raised up, thick and wrinkled in appearance (for lack of a better description). A few spots had developed mass-like keloid scars that were about 1/4" in height and very shiny. I bought some larger strips and some smaller size strips. For the larger area I used 2 of the 7" strips side by side to cover the approximately 2" x 6" larger burn area, and used the smaller sheets cut in half for the other smaller burns. I am etremely pleased as I have seen a tremendous improvement after treatment with ScarAway. The main area has faded nicely and the texture of my skin has greatly improved. The smaller surrounding burn scars have all but vanished. They are not even noticeable. Wearing the ScarAway material also helped significantly in reducing my discomfort in the areas as well. The 3 spots that deleoped keloids took a bit longer...as any of you who have had the misfortune of dealing with keloids knows, they can be a real hassle. The keloids are reduced greatly. I would say they reduced by about 3/4 of the original height and continue to improve with each week of treatment. I just had a visit with my doctor who was pleased with my progress and recommended I continue using the ScarAway patches on the keloids for another 8 weeks, and also that I put the ScarAway strips on the main burn scar when going out in the sun. Anyone with burns should ask their doctor about ScarAway. I definitely recommend.



2. These strips are amazing. I have used them on a surgical incision for 4 weeks and even if they do not help with overall scarring I would highly recommend for comfort alone. The itching stopped immediately and they provide protection from irritation from clothes.



3. After a thorough search for the perfect scar treatment, I found the one. This was highly recommended from numerous people and after reading the reviews I was pretty much "sold" but I still had some uncertainities based on the fact that I didn't know anything about the product. I decided to go ahead and order one package to see what it could do...Wow! After a few days, I totally saw a difference! My scar that was slightly "raised" and dark became lighter and softer. It even helped out with keloid prevention which I was worried about. ScarAway does its job and fullfill its promise.
   
   The only negative about the product is that after a few days the adhesive becomes dull (even after the recommended wash with warm water and mild soap). Sometimes, my pants and undergarments gets tangled in it and pulls away from my skin. Also, when I'm tossing and turning at night, it also partially falls off..so be careful about that.
   
   So all in all, the product is amazing. The only modification I would make is inventing a protective layer so the adhesive doesn't remove before it's 7-day time.



4. I found the strips wouldn't stay attached to my skin, even though the packaging claims they're self-adhesive. Maybe they would work well on a flatter part of the body (I was using them for horizontal scars across my chest), or for someone who doesn't sweat. I can't recommend them, though.



5. I rarely leave reviews but this product is such a disappointment I felt I had to say something. Make sure you understand that these can only be worn for 7 days!! I have used many silicone sheets and have never run across any that can only be used for a week before you have to throw them away. That's ridiculous given the amount of time you really need to wear silicon to see results. I could believe my "good luck" finding these are such a great price, yeah right. Now I know why. Yes you get 12 sheets but I have a couple of feet of scar that needs to be addressed. I am sending these back and buying the more expensive ones that last forever.

5 comments about Kelo-cote Advanced Formula Scar Gel - 6g.

1. I was recommended this product by a relative who said her scar was barely visible after using this product. Although my scar is still visible i am noticing the results daily.



2. I've had keloids for 30 years. Nothing ever worked including this product. Got boxes of it for free from a medical conference. Seems to control itching but no flattening. Dr. Blaine's, however, worked miracles. Have heard about silicone sheets for years but the sticky comfortable ones they have now are fabulous :)



3. I noticed a difference in the appearance of my scar within the first week of using this product. It looks a lot better, but it's still a bit too "pink" for me. I would like the scar to fade further but it looks as if this is as light as it's going to get.
   
   All in all, I was pleased with my purchase.



4. This works wonders. If you are looking for something to minimize scars, this is for you.



5. There was less than one use of the product in the tube. It was difficult to squeeze out of the tube. It seemed there was nothing inside. I had to press really hard until a very scant amount came out.

1. I used this product on a cut that I had due to surgery and their is barely a scar and it did not raise at all.
   I would recommend this to everyone that is trying to keep their scarring down to a minimum.



2. I had the "Life Style Lift" in 2006, and had horrible scars behind my ears that were painful to the touch. After using Kelo-cote for 1 week, the pain was gone. After using it for several months, my scars are greatly reduced. I will continue to use this product until the scars are gone, which I am 100% confident that this product will do.

5 comments about BIAFINE WDE Emulsion.

1. My dermatologist perscribed this to speed healing after a 2-week topical chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil) treatment for actinic keratoses. It saved my skin! With my insurance it was $8.01 at the pharmacy. Alas . . . no refills.



2. As a Senior Citizen who spent his youth in the Sun, I have to be examined by an excellent Dermatologist three times a year. After a relatively-large wound, we tried Biafine for healing. Excellent Healing was accomplished in ONE-THIRD THE TIME EXPECTED. She and I agreed it was a "Miracle Drug". I note the European price is reported to be about $ 10.



3. About a year and 1/2 ago, I was diagnosed with Psoriasis. I think it's called Palmoplantar Psoriasis, but I would get these dry patches of scales at the bottom of my feet which sometimes crack and bleed. My Dermatologist gave me a prescription of Biafine and I've been using it ever since.
   
   Yes, the price is quite high but this 93 gr of Biafine at $63.00 is certainly cheaper than the 45 gr of Biafine that I get from my Local Long's Drugs at $37.59 WITH Medical Insurance (OUTRAGEOUS!). Just think, if my Medical Insurace covers 80% of this, what the heck is the RETAIL cost through Longs?
   
   So when I saw this (93gr) here at Amazon at $63.00 without a doctor's prescription and Insurance coverage (since my Insurance company does not cover it anymore), I had to jump at it.
   
   I don't know what I'm going to do when the stuff runs out, because I use it almost on a daily basis! I'm telling you that it works great. I get these lesions, I put some of this stuff on it, bandage it and the next day it's 90% better! It really makes living with this foot Psoriasis tolerable!
   
   The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is due to price ... it IS expensive! I would have given it a 4 1/2 had I been able to.



4. Was bicycling through France with my roommate and ended up with 2nd degree burns since we didn't know the word for sunscreen. We limped into the pharmacy and asked for something for "apres le soleil" and was sold a tube of this for under 5 euro. The next day our 2nd degree burns were almost entirely gone. I think the price is ridiculous on amazon because it's a French product.



5. My wife is bed-bound due to MS. Biafine is a miracle cream for the treatment of pressure sores. We have used it for years. I agree that the Amazon price is amazingly high. It should cost less than $30 for a 45 gram tube. It's not for bleeding wounds and you should not use it before radiation treatments. Read the directions! You will be impressed with it's healing ability.

5 comments about ScarAway VALUE PACK- 2 Packs of 12 Professional Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets (3" x 1.5" ea.) 24 Total Scar Patches - FREE Storage Case Included! - Works great on Raised or discolored Scars and Keloids..

1. After skin cancer surgery I was using Neosporin scar sheets which are wonderful but no longer available so I purchased 2 boxes of these and they are not of the same quality at all. The sheets are much thinner and do not stay on at all, they roll up and fall off after a short while of them being on. The only way to use these is to put tape on over them which is an added expense you should not have to do when the item is meant to stay on for hours. Would never purchase again and wish Neosporin would bring their product back.



2. I wasn't too sure that Scar Away would work. I am an African American, so I do scar easily. I'm 19 and just got some tattoos removed. Getting the tattoos was the worst mistake, but I'm young, we make a lot of dumb choices. But when I got the tattoos removed, it left hypotrophic scars and two keloid scars. So I ordered Scar Away and got them in two days. I've been using the silicone sheets for three weeks now, and I can see a change. The scars are no longer shiny. My skin color is coming back. And I can actually see my skin design coming back. Also, the scars are softer and getting flat. So I will keep you guys updated at the end of next month.
   
   *Update* 3/14/2010
   I love these scaraway sheets. They really do work. I actually started using these again after I stopped. Its been 6 weeks now, and I love the imporvements. Some of my scars are still a little puffy, but they are no longer hard. They are very soft,and the sheets also leave my skin smooth. 3 of my scars are flat, I am so happy. I have to tape them down, but I have no problem with that, just as long as they work I'm fine. I will update again at the end of the month



3. My scars are very small, so I'm cutting each strip into 3 pieces. I've had a hard time getting them to stay in place. I work out, though, so probably "sweat them off", plus the smaller size makes them fall off more easily. I've only had them for two weeks, though, so am not giving up yet. Just not delighted as I hoped I'd be.



4. I'm So glad that I used Scar Away. It's very easy to use and comfortable.



5. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this product. I have used it for several different scars over the past year and have had truly amazing results. It flattened and faded my scars unlike anything I have tried, and got rid of the itching. It really works! As close as you can get to an actual scar "remover". I recommend this to anyone who has a scar the want to get rid of or is having surgery and wants to heal the area with hardly any visible scar. ~L

5 comments about Dr. Holmquist Healthcare Bruise Relief Gel Tube.

1. Used this product around my eyes which grow darker during allergy and sneezing season. Using it in the morning and evening and after showering, it has made a difference in the severity of the dark circles.



2. Stating it plainly, my dark circles are the only thing I don't like about my face, and if I didn't have them I wouldn't bother with make-up most days. Having said that, my dark circles are what I would describe as severe to bad, the amount of sleep having only a mild influence on their appearance. I am Celtic, very fair skinned, and have large deep set eyes which does not help where dark circles are concerned. Between the arcitecture of my eyes and my fair skin, I am a slam dunk for pronounced dark cicles. I've tried every concealer on the planet, and some are better than others, but who wants to slather on layers of make-up just to look normal? Try this Bruise Relief product and follow the directions for an existing bruise for your dark under eye circles. After 2-3 times per day for 5 days you should see a difference. Mine are not gone but they are diminished, meaning I don't have to slather on concealer or worry about it fading by the end of the day. I put on a normal amount and still look good come evening, and this outcome I consider an objective and solid result. Bruise relief is worth the price. I can only imagine how well it works on a fresh bruise.



3. I tried Bruise Relief after I heard some other moms at the ball field talk about how well it worked. I ended up running my shin into a coffee table while I was in a rush. I was amazed how effective and affordable it was, and it is great to get rid of under eye circles too. It's definitely worth a try.



4. I bruise very easily and was not sure this product would work for me but it was recommended by a friend. When I hit my ankle a few months ago, I immediately applied Bruise Relief to the impact and it worked great. I never got a bruise and normally I would've had a big bruise. I'm really excited about this product. It's all-natural, inexpensive and safe for my whole family. I'm so glad I found Bruise Relief.



5. I have used this product on quite a few occasions and it works very well. I tend to bruise easily and am very self conscious of the way they look so this product has been very helpful with my self esteem!

2 comments about ScarAway 100% Silicone Gel Scar Diminishing Serum.

1. I had great results with Scaraway on 2 different scars...one large from surgery, and one more minor cut. This was very easy to use...I just threw it in my purse and applied a few times a day. The texture of the serum was very silky and was totally invisible...it absorbed into my skin easily and did not feel oily or leave any residue like some others I have tried. NOTE: 1 tiny drop from the squeeze bottle covers the whole back of my hand...about 4 or 5 square inches, so 1 bottle is all you need for even larger scars. I even had some left over. I would recommmend for anyone with any kind of scar. I even use this on red spots left by my occasional blemish...I just spot treat when neccessary and the redness fades away fast. A must have in the medicine cabinet for me. ~ L



2. Scaraway Scar Treatment Serun
   I have been taking this product for about 1 month to removes scars left on my forehead by hair transplant. It has not worked and I plan to return the product.
