Is it effective to lighten the scar on the hand and leg?

That I don't know. It has only been used to lighten or eliminate dark spots. There is a product, that you can purchase in a CVS, Rite Aid etc., that is supposed to eliminate scars. I ran across it by chance looking for sun screen.

I've been using Scar Away for about a month. The newer scar is practically gone while the older scars are going more slowly, but I am noticing a difference.

In my case, it doesn't work very well on decreasing the redness of the scar. I have been using it for 4 months now. All that I can say is it works to stop the scar from spreading out, and softens it as well. However, to minimize the scar would take a rather long time (imo). The bottle would last me another 5 months, and I hope I could see some distinct results.

If you can, great! Otherwise, sleep with can help! I can see so much improvement since am leaving all the time on my scars. It is very clear! Not easy to be noticeable!

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

As far as I know yes. I use it everytime one of my children get a scar and I apply it daily until it goes away and I usually see quick results.

For me it hasn't not made any impacts on my stretch marks (caused by loosing weight), but everyone is different so it could help depending on how old the scars are

The scars don't totally go away. You will probably have to use it for a while. It did help with brightening and the texture of my skin.

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.

I would assume that this would not be the best option for that area as the skin under the arm is really different than what is on the face. Way more sensitive. I would suggest something more cream based with hydroquinone or perhaps something especially for shaving and discoloration as this is probably the cause of the discoloration in the first place.

My husband cut his arm, cut being about size of half dollar and shaped like horse shoe. It peeled skin and flesh back and I pulled skin and flesh back down and used gauze and poured celox right on wound, as much as would stay covered with gauze and wrapped with small ace bandage, all I had to hold in place until we could get to doctor. Stopped bleeding and doctor had trouble getting off to put on stera-strip. Worked great in fact he has no scar. Highly recommend carry with you all time, we have needed it twice and I do like smaller package, just right for small to medium cut.

The Cica Care Silicon Gel Sheeting is great for initial healing. It is for surface application and I doubt that it would be effective for underlying scar tissue. I believe that it was developed in Wales for treatment of burns. Check with your doctor.

I have put it on kitchen burns at time of the event and scaring minimal. Cleared up my old bruises... Not sure about old scars.

Honestly I dont think this will have much use for tattoo scar fading. This is for more minor scars.

My scar did lighten a lot with use! It came to a point though that the color was staying constant, so I stopped using it. It has continuously lightened on its own and looks amazing now. The Scar Guard definitely got it to a good point though. I guess nature took over after I stopped usuage:)

It depends on how dark the marks are.It would surely lighten them quite a bit.

I was using it less than that. I don't think it is really meant to lighten the skin. It does make the skin very soft. I won't purchase it again. I will tell you the Piona Bleaching cream works like magic. The one in the jar the large jar if you can afford it. It takes away all dark scars in a short amount of time. I am true to this Piona Bleaching cream on my 3rd jar.
