Hello Guys, Please i need an advice on how to remove some lil scars on my face, the place was stitched when i had an accident about 4 years ago. My Uncle said it would remove by it'self with time, so i didn't take it serious to apply any medicine. Please would like to know if it can be removed and with what? I'm curious to know Thanks alot and any information would highly be appreciated |

You could use a silicone based gel such as kelocote. It takes a while but it will improve the appearance of the scar |

How to Remove Scars By GENUINEfacts Fashion, Style & Personal Care Editor Rate: (1 Ratings) Scars can sometimes be an embarrassing part of your body, especially if they are in a very noticeable place, such as your face. While it is very difficult to remove a scar completely, you can greatly reduce its appearance with some time patience and dedication. INSTRUCTIONS. STEP1 Decide whether you want to use a non-surgical method or a surgical method. While a surgical method of removing scars will certainly be more effective, it will also be more expensive. You can always save surgical methods as a last resort. When using topical scar removal or reduction treatments, you must follow the application instructions on the package faithfully for the products to work. Step2 Know what ingredients you should look for when shopping for an over-the-counter scar-reduction product. Onion extract is an anti-inflammatory that seems to prevent too much collagen production in the scar. Collagen is a protein that makes up the majority of scar tissue. Step3 Look for a product with silicone. You can find this in a gel or in a sheet that you apply to the skin and hold in place with medical tape. While researchers don't know the reason why silicone helps to fade scars, you will probably see results over time. Step4 Find a product that contains alpha-hydroxy acids. This ingredient helps to exfoliate the skin and remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin. It is advisable that you use the lowest concentration of alpha-hydroxy acids available on scar tissue. Step5 Keep the area moisturized at all times. You may find that a very strong moisturizer, such as cocoa butter, will work the best. Moisturizer will promote skin health and elasticity, which will help the scar smooth out. Step6Consider surgical treatments if you have tried topical treatments for a year, with unacceptable results. Laser treatments in addition to collagen and steroid injections can sometimes help improve the appearance of stubborn or very large scars. [b] For mor informations contact; Genuinefacts@yahoo.com |

use bio-oil!!!! I used it for the shaving scars on my legs and they are almost invisible now! It is not a skin lightening cream so it won't damage your skin. In fact it claims to reverse damage done from skin lightening. |

Have you tried silicone gel sheeting medically proven to prevent hypertrophic scars post surgery and used by plastic surgeons in Keloid management. Call 08116309062 for XERAGEL SILICONE OINTMENT or Epi-Derm silicone sheet. These product(brand) is well used by plastic surgeons. Hope this information helps |
