Will this work on scars that are white? lighter than natural skin color.

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.

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:)

Thank you for your question. No, it will work for this. But, customers have had results with stretch marks on the skin. In addition, it will work well for burns, scars, and relieving the pain and numbing that is associated after recent burns and scars. There is a link on the product page to directly contact us if you have any further questions. We will be happy to assist you.

From my experience, this peel did lighten my skin. I did one patch area, I diluted the peel to approximately 30% and left the acid on longer while the skin frosted (for about a minute). Afterwards the area reddened and within a day scabbed. The healing process went rather fast 3-4 days, and when the scab dried off, the skin was lighter in that area, and exfoliated which was what I was expecting. I do not let the peel stay on to frost all of the time, and when I don't I do not get any dramatic color change, just a medium to light peel, that brightens the skin more than lightens it.

I can't say because I used it on old scars and it didn't work or to prevent new scars from forming which I think it did.

I would not use this product for that purpose. This reduces melanin production for dark marks and will result in a light peeling. Possibly making your white spots raw and more white

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Mostly I use it on my dogs. They have acne on their backs. It does seem to bleach their hair temporarily. I haven't noticed bleaching on my face, but I only have a few isolated problems sometimes. It is the same percentage as the kind you can find in drug stores in a much smaller quantity to try it.To my knowledge the only thing that fades scars it products designed for that purpose, but again you can try a small quantity first to see.

I agree with Michelle, don't remember this ever working on a scar. But it should definitely help the acne issue. Just do NOT use a lot because it will really irritate your skin.

Yes! I use it on my neck and chest. There are different tips available for different amounts of abrasion. I would however,qualify that with the reality in mind that all skin is different in it's tolerance. I am brunette and have spentalot of time in the sun during the course of my life, so I do not have fair skin that say a fair blond might have.I can't even tell you how much I love this little machine!!!! (I am not an employee of the company nor do I distribute or have any interest that would benefit me.)

Yes! My stretch marks were white and about 6 years old I think what makes it fade is the natural pigment coming back into the mark because my stretch marks aren't stark white anymore more of a lighter tone of my natural skin tone

No, It works best on moderate skin tone. I suppose it would work on fair depending "how fair" the skin is and how well you blend it in. I would not recommend it for darker skin types.

Yes it will. But it will not fade it evenly. If you plaster your whole skin, the parts of your face with thinner skin will fade faster than the areas with thicker skin, leaving you looking like your have vitiligo ....see recent pics of Lark Voorhies for an example of what will likely occur.....

It won't make scars disappear but will soften and help reduce scar tissue by massaging a little extra each time used, as will any good skin cream.

I have not tested this on scars, however I have used it on eczema... and it has made those spots less noticeable in just a short period of time.

This is not a race thing. Pale skin as in PALE SKIN. The laser targets dark hair; dark skin will burn just like dark hair. White women with dark hair are really the only ppl that can use this effectively. White women with a tan will burn, anyone with any shade of tan or darer will burn. White women with blond hair will see no benefit. Stinks, but that is, unfortunately, the limitation of laser hair removal.HOWEVER, I found this interesting info(read answer 2)http://www.realself.com/question/laser-hair-removal-blonde-fair-skinElos laser may work

Hi Trista, I have had luck with this cream. I've had noticeable results with skin tone, my skin is brighter, healthier and my scars have faded. It works great under my make up and as a part of my daily skin regiment. I have a tendency to break out and this has helped and minimized my pores. Good luck!

More than likely not.... It gave me a younger fresh look to my skin and closed my pores some. I doubt that this particular product will lighten or remove acne scars.
