How long should one use this product? Months? Years? I have a scar on my forehead due to a falling accident.

I have been using for a year. I believe you can use it for as long as it takes to make the scar be less visable. It would depend on how deep your scar is.

I was not advised if there is a limit of time for use. My plastic surgeon gave it to me to use after I had major facial surgery and but did not say how long to use it. This product was very helpful to me to help heal the scars and reduce the redness. It also is helpful in helping to prevent my pores from filling up. (It also is helpful in healing blemishes quickly.)

Hi Ceren, This product is meant to do skin peels, most people use it on their face, I got it for use on my back (old acne scars). It is very important that you read the directions, so you know how long to leave this product on. Especially if using on your face as it can cause major burning/irritation. Steps for use (again I used it for my back but am sure the steps are pretty similar.): 1.) Clean the area you are using the product on (either with soap or rubbing alcohol - you want all oils gone from the area) 2.) Find something to apply the product with (I used a silicone spatula, similar to what is used for hair coloring and such) 3.) Apply product to desired area ***4.) Make sure you are keeping track of time*** VERY IMPORTANT (I think for your first time your only supposed to leave it on for a minute 0 be sure to read the instructions that come with this product) 5.) rinse off with luke warm water, don't rub too hard, but make sure all of the product is gone. 6.) If you are prone to dry skin, you will probably need to moisturize the treated area afterwards I had to do about 5 treatments (over a span of 2 months) before I saw noticeable changes, but I think the # of treatments needed is based on the area you are applying too. Enjoy, I hope this was helpful. DLC

I used the product on a small facial scar next to my nose. Used the product on a small facial incision next to my nose. Had some bad cells removed. Healing was really remarkable for me. I have read reports from others (Amazon) that it has assisted others on older scars as well. I do know the product tends to smooth things out. While expensive, it was a good purchase. I cant attest to whether it will work for you as I'm not a medical professional and I do not know the extent of the damage as it applies to your situation. I would seek advice of a Dermatologist or your family physician.

Personally, I don't think it's good for anything. I still have a mark on my arm from wearing it for only 20 minutes almost a year ago. Proceed at your own risk.

According to the package (strips) insert: "For newly healed wounds, you may begin using ScarAway as soon as the skin is healed and there is no oozing or crusting in the area. Treatment with ScarAway for post surgical scars may typically begin approximately 1-2 weeks after stitches are removed or when cleared by physician or surgeon for use.

I think around 2 months. You don't want to put too much on because it will burn your skin. Another trick I found is to spray your skin with rubbing alcohol to help make sure the skin is dry before you apply it. If your skin is wet at all it will burn bad and become very irritated. This product is great though. It even works when I'm working out.

I noticed that my bruising was gone in half the time and now it is significantly better without much bruising.. I would say you will notice the difference in two weeks!! I always keep extras on hand!! It's great the only thing that has worked for my red marks (bruising) my dr recommended it!

I have been using this vitamin c everyday for at least 45 days .. I believe it helps with tone Texture ,however I'am not seeing the fine lines on my forehead disappearing yet .

You can massage the bioCorneum over the scar. The site will probably be tender so you do not want to rub it too hard..

I use my other product/products first and allow them to sink in for a couple of minutes or so before applying the Jergens. I am 74 and this seems to work well for my old skin.

Just flip both switches and set on the skin where the injury is. Watch to make sure it doesn't get too hot(I've never had a problem but I'm guessing your mother is older and may not be as sensitive to heat). Leave it on the area for about 10 minutes probably twice a day. It's worked very well for me for several issues but did not seem to help a friend. Best of luck.

The number of applications would be determined by the number of bruises so it is impossible for me to say. I apply it twice a day or more if I've been in the pool and felt I needed a "refresher" application. Dermend is a good product but don't expect instant bruise removal. Still takes a few days.

i think it will last 4-6mos. because i only use about 4 drops for face & neck.

There is an aloe vera gel that can help dissolve the scar over 2 years time.if your next is washed 3x a day and the gel is replaced 2x.You can them,spray it with hexachlophene spray to seal it over at the beach,but,unless you are an active salt water swimmer,the scar would dissappear,faster at the side of a pool with non-chlorinated water as they have,for children in many urban areas,

My lasted around 1 1/2 months. That depends on the amount you apply on your face. There is no need to apply a lot of it, it is a serum.

I agree that you should check with your doctor, but it is designed to cover wounds and allow them to heal. In my case, the wound was not appropriate for direct use, but my skin was so sensitive to tape that we used this product as the vehicle to adhere dressing tape to so that my skin only had to deal with the removal of this product every 5-7 days instead of tape 3 times a day. This product was recommended to my nurse by my surgeon.

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.
