ScarFade: Does ScarFade work?

ScarFade Review

While ScarFade is a silicone based scar treatment product, there may be other more suitable scar removal products, due to the addition of unnecessary ingredients.
Silicone therapy in the treatment and prevention of scars has become a well established medical practice.  Traditionally, thick sheets of silicone gel were applied to scars or healed incisions, in order to fade or inhibit scar tissue.  But since constant contact is needed between the scar and the silicone, silicone gel sheets became impractical in many situations because they could not stretch and move with the skin.  More recently, silicone gels have been gaining acceptance as effective scar treatments that can maintain constant contact with the skin.  However, these same studies have also concluded that in order to receive the best results, the silicone needs to be undiluted.

The Verdict on ScarFade

By diluting the silicone with other non-silicone ingredients, ScarFade hinders the true efficacy of silicone in treating scars, such as keloids.  Mixing silicone gels with other ingredients can prevent complete and constant contact with the scar tissue, reducing the products effectiveness.
