Medical Grade Silicone Scar Sheets, Silicone Scar Tape (1.6”x 60”), Scar Removal Strips for Acne Scars C-Section & Keloid Surgery Scars Sheets Treatment Sheets - 6-8 Month Supply

This is coming from a person that's used roll-ons, gel tubes, clear patches, pre-cut strips, etc. For newly-knitted surgical scars, old hypertrophic scars, and some annoying scar blemishes. Out of all of them, this one has been the most effective and efficient at minimizing their appearance and projection. I had two surgeries within 4 months of each other and old scars from different points in my life, and these made my life a lot easier.Following surgeon's instructions rather than what was on the box. They are waterproof in that they will continue to be usable after they get wet, but I did find they slide off in the shower if not held on with medical tape. Not a problem for me to take them off for showers so I could clean and exfoliate anyway. I wear them for ten days before the adhesion starts to go (that is with taking them off for showers and reapplying them). Medical tape keeps them in place easily if you don't want to remove them at all for up to two weeks. But my surgeon did recommend no longer than two week increments before giving the skin a break for a day or two (perfect timing for friction massage to break up the scar tissue adhesions).I have a skin condition that makes me inconsistently allergic to things, and I have sensory issues. This one gave me no real problems, but I was more aware of placement on more sensitive skin like wrists. Does have perforated segments, but can be cut with scissors. I use sharper scissors to make it easier, but regular ones are fine, just make sure to clean them (goo happens).

I bought this four months ago but wanted to wait until I had used it for that long to write a review. I worked my way up to wearing the tape around 15 hours a day. I had unexpected emergency surgery on my abdomen that left me with a five inch scar. I've used the tape on that new scar, as well as on an older scar on my knee nearly every day for the past four months, and it really does work.Granted, I don't know what my abdomen scar would look like otherwise, but it has definitely lightened my older scar and my large one looks great for only four months out. I wear the tape during the day and use natural bio oil at night. There is no need to shower with it or sleep with it for me.I find that I can get many days use of out a piece of tape this way, and I use medical tape to help it stick after a few days. I like that you can cut the tape to whatever size you need. As I said, I've been using it every day for four months, and I still have plenty of tape left. I was looking at some other expensive tapes, but this cost-effective one really does the trick.

I purchased this tape based on the many recommendations I had read online about the use of silicone tapes plastic surgeons use after a surgery procedures (they didn't specify which brands to use, I searched that myself) Recommended by many plastic surgeons Ive been using this product on a new cut on my upper lip where bow is for apx. 9 wks. It does not sting or feel weird, you forget you're wearing it. No smell at all. I had accidentally cut the very top of my lip with a knife were the bow is, both inside and out. The inside needed 8 stitches, however, the outside had already dried and it being smaller they felt it didn't need stitches like the inside. I immediately started to research online the best way to aid in the healing of the cut and the best way to prevent a scar as much as possible. It being in the very center of my face, I was definitely concerned with a scar. I kept reading about what plastic surgeons use, scar serums and silicone tape kept coming up. With both in mind I immediately researched brands and checked reviews (reviews are extremely important to me, so I truly appreciate other ppl like myself who take the time to leave them, it definitely can make or break if I purchase an product)I read the instructions and followed them to the letter. I waited for the cut to heal up a bit before use as it suggested. (Btw You can also use this product on OLD SCARS , too, which I did to see if it worked on them at the same time, more on that later) You can cut the tape to any size or shape you want. It also says they're reusable just wet them, however, mine was so small I didn't think it was worth the hassle. As it says, you start only for a couple of hours and eventually in 2 wks you've built up to wearing it 24hrs. In between the 24 hrs I occasionally take it off to apply a scar treatment and let it breathe. I do try to apply scar treatment under silicone tape, but if I put too much the tape just slides around and off it won't stick. The one they had available was flesh tone which was fine, ppl don't notice it tbh. However, if you have very fair skin or very dark skin I could see where it would be noticeable if in a place ppl can see, like on the face. They might have clear I know I've seen other brands that do. What have I discovered in the 9wks of wearing the this product? -I've noticed the redness has diminished. It's softer and looks less noticeable overall. I think the combination of using both products makes a difference imo. When I wasn't wearing it , ppl didn't notice it unless I told them and they had to get very close to even see anything. With makeup on you couldn't see I had any cut/scar whatsoever. I don't know if it would have healed like this or was it truly aided by the products, YES I believe the products DID in fact make the difference. I say that because I noticed it worked on some older scars I had in different areas on my body on my skin. I think it's VITAL you be very CONSISTENT with the product. I noticed on my older scars they were lightened. Mind you it hasn't caused them to disappear or anything, but I do think it helps diminish with time who knows how much better it will look. I will definitely continue to use both products and hope it continues to improve over time. I will in time update / edit my review accordingly.
