Old Scars – New Hope for Fading Old Scars

You may have trusted what your doctor predicted. He said scars fade naturally over time. Yours didn’t. Now what?

You ask your doctor. He talks about something called “scar revision”. This means more surgery, to correct the old scar from the first surgery. ALL cuts scar. No one can predict how much. After expensive, painful “revision” on that old scar you could end up with a new scar that looks as bad or worse.

Try an at-home scar treatment first on that old scar. Silicone works best.

It’s because silicone impacts the tough fibers of scars. A major study may prove that static electricity breaks up scar tissue. Silicone attracts static electricity.

Silicone fades scar color. A major study of silicone on scars found impressive results.

  • Doctors documented improvement in 50% of cases. Improvement included fading .
  • Improvement appeared within a span of three to six months.

A faded scar looks smaller.  A smaller scar diminishes the attention to the color.

Don’t think older scars are hopeless.
