I highly doubt it will. What you can do is have laser treatment to soften and clear that area a little.

I think the applicator, which has small rollers, will be very helpful in stimulating the area while the action & movement assist with smoothing it out and down. Be consistent with your routine twice daily ... and be patient. I am very pleased with the improvement I've seen so far. It is improving daily! Good luck!

I have used the ScarAway Silicone for like five months and my scar looks much better, I don't know if it will work with keloid skin, but I would give it a try.

This is a good question. I can honestly say I don't know. I would try it but be sure to use it every day.I know that for keloids a Dr can do steroid injections and that helps but I can't remember if they are as effective if the keloid is old. I would assume they would help since we turn over new skin all the time. So maybe look into doing both just to really see results. I hope this helps.

I would check with a dermatologist. You may have to have the old scar removed and work on the new scar. It's worth checking into.

I think it would as a temporary solution if you are going out for the night. You would probably have to wrap it in plastic a few hours if you can tolerate that. To just rub the cream on your neck I'm not sure, but everyone is different .If it works let me know :)

Mine is the same, oily coating, then absorbs into the skin. I apply it two or three times a day over a keloid scar. It says it takes a while for it to go away. It has been about a month for me. It will probably take 6 months to make it go away, I guess. I will need more. Can't afford laser at 600.00 a time. Stupid. So I am trying this. I don't get a hard shell affect on mine either.

I believe I've read about the use of TCA for tattoo removal. I would totally avoid the face and neck area with 50%. I have scarring on my face in places.

One note: don't forget to moisten the contact areas (on either side of the main part) that will touch your skin -- that lets the capacitive connection get a good signal from your heart so it does a good job. If it's dry, it probably won't work as well, if at all. It mentions this somewhere (remembering from a year ago), and I do it and it works.

According to my Plastic Surgeon, it will work on raised and/or red scars. It does take a while. The package says to use for six to eight weeks. My surgeon said that I should wear the bandages for 20-24 hours a day for up to six months to receive the maximum benefit. I have used for four months on a large, hypertrophic scar and it has reduced the raised portion by half. The scar is still red, but that is to be expected for the first year.

You could use on face....but I'm not sure how well it would do on neck.....creases...Etc.

You would have to get it tight enough. We used it on one of our dogs who had a ton of extra skin around his neck and what I did was pull apart the folds and place it between them. If your dog is sensitive, it may work just fine on top of his wrinkles. Hope this helps.

I did in fact read the instructions and did not use it on my neck. If it is turned too high it does zap, but when I use it is is benefical. I use the derma wand each day, but this only every once in a while. I'm certain it would work much better if I was consistent.

Regular use will soften scars over time, but not overnight. It helps if you follow up with a good moisturizer, as it tends to dry out skin. I've been using it for one month on scars left on my neck from an allergic rash and definitely they have softened in appearance.

I have not tried it on the neck, but I am sure it will work to some degree. By that I mean the amount and deepness of the wrinkles. Also remember, this does not last all day. You will need to re-apply. It will last several hours and slowly you will begin to see some wrinkles. I also believe but still waiting for results, is that if I use it every night before bed, I may eventually erase some facial wrinkles. I am 57 and a 27 year old thought I was 30 - 35.

It would certainly help. Similar to microdermabrasion. They will not disappear completely, but will look smaller, more diminished.

I use ST. Ives lotion and never had any trouble with it not absorbing into the skin. I really like this applicator and when this one wears out I'll replace with the same one. Much better quality than any of the other ones I've used.

Since it tightens the skin on my face I do not see why it would not work. But only if the cellulite is MINIMAL. I do no forsee total miracles happening! Give it atleast 10 shots and you should not need the numbing crème on your leg unless you are sensitive to pain(if you are fine getting tattoos, you will manage wonderfully). I would get a 2.0 to start and just push lightly to start. Stick to the all metal rollers. GOOD LUCK!!I love mine!!

I believe so. There is myscaraway.com that has all the answers and you can call them for more information. My scar is new only since December 2013. Helped reduce pain and discomfort and flattened out the scar which is nice. Go to the source though.

Yes, basically think of it as an "extension palm". Most lotion is thick enough that it will stay on until you can apply to back.I bought another applicator at the same time as this one that had rollers and a reservoir you put the lotion in. It didn't really work any better, and then you either had to clean out the reservoir or leave lotion in there (that would eventually get nasty).

I went to a professional the first time and was somewhat happy with the results. I asked if she could use it on the neck and chest and she said "of course" for an additional charge. I"m buying my own. Read, Read and Read. And CLEAN the face and roller and end with a GOOD cream. Ask your druggist.
