Surgery activates more keloids. Silicone removal creams can’t.

• Cream does not break the skin. It does not awaken the tendency to form keloids. A silicone keloid scar removal cream encourages fibers to loosen. A keloid is a thick bunch of scar fiber.
• Cutting releases more thick tissue in the same place. There is a high rate of keloid recurrence – up to 50% – according to the medical review board of About.com. Doctors can’t predict which time surgery will work, or if it will boomerang.

Scalpel or laser?

• It doesn’t make any difference. A knife and a beam cut skin. The wound awakens the tendency to form severe scars.

When you heal abnormally once, chances are it will happen again somewhere else on your body. Silicone is the earliest possible home treatment when surgery is too risky.

Medical grade, 100% silicone is available in scar removal cream sold over the counter. The FDA has approved it. People prone to abnormal healing should start using it as soon as a break in the skin closes. In fact, some doctors prescribe it after surgery.
