How to Get Rid of Scars
How to Get Rid of Scars
Getting rid of scars is no easy task. Scars are ugly and embarrassing for many. To get rid of them, many people resort to expensive and risky procedures like laser treatments, dermabrasion, and surgical scar removal. These treatments are very pricey and require continued treatments over a long period of time to get results. In some cases, the scar becomes worse after the treatments.
Others may rely on home remedies like Vitamin E, even though medical trials have shown it is not effective at reducing scars. Many products like this are out there, and people swear by them, even though they have not shown to do anything in large scientific studies.
Then there are the scar removal creams that claim to reduce scarring. There are tons of them out there, many of them very expensive. Reviews are always mixed, and in most cases these products deliver mild results at best. Most times they are just moisturizers or snake oil products like onion bulb extract.
As someone who has suffered from many scars, I have tried just about everything. I’ve gotten scars all over my body, including on my face. I’ve spent countless hours researching, and even more trying out different scar removal products.
Here are some of the best over the counter scar treatment products out there:
In some cases, the pigment cells that are responsible for our skin coloration, are over-active after injury. This can result in a red, or darkened scar. Scarguard Lightener is a unique and very effective combination of traditional medical lighteners and homeopathic ingredients. It’s just a simple gel that soaks into the skin without any residue, so you can still cover the area with clothing. If you have red or darkened scars, this is what you need.
Silicone is one of the best scar treatment products out there. It’s not known exactly why it works, but it works. This was formerly only sold as a prescription product, but is now available to anyone. Silicone gel will help to flatten and fade your scars over time. Simply put them on your scars for 8-10 hours per night while you’re sleeping. Your scars will begin to noticeably fade over a few weeks.
Kelocote has all the benefits of silicone gel sheets without the limitations. Kelocote is a topical silicone gel for the management of scars and for the prevention of abnormal scars such as keloids. It is indicated for scars resulting from trauma, surgery, burns or other events that result in broken skin.
Silicone helps to soften, flatten, and smooth scars and improves moisture balance and elasticity. It has also shown to reduce the discoloration associated with scars. Right now it is one of the most widely accepted over the counter scar treatment products available.
My favorite home scar treatment product is The Scar Solution. It’s a home scar treatment program that shows you step by step how to reduce and eliminate scars using natural products and techniques. It’s very effective for most scars, including acne scars, and is also cost effective. It shows you how to get rid of scars by using methods similar to common medical procedures that help resurface and rebuild the skin. Over a period of a couple weeks, most people can drastically reduce or remove their scars.
