Does it help with old scars?

It says it does, but mine was a new scar. I think this is better than Mcderma on the results and the ease of appying. Once it is dried which takes only seconds, you can put on the socks or leave it alone. With Mcderma you need to make sure the cream gets absorbed and reapply two more times a day. I have a six months old scar on my foot, I am going to get another bottle soon. Amazon also has much better price than the local pharmacies where I live. Hope this helps.

Are you looking to remove them or something to sooth them? This makes a difference, yes it works on soothing and softening skin. But not for removing any scar tissue or open cuts.I hope this was helpful.

I'm not sure.. All I know is that it lightened my scars a bit but it's still there

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

Yes, it lightens age spots and helps with fine lines over time. I think the quality of my skin has improved over the 8 week first segment.

It seems to work best on fresh scars. Since veins are underneath the skin, I am not sure this product would be effective.

It depends on what type of scar it is. I have two keloid scars on my shoulder that ScarAway originally helped but after I had finished with 3 boxes. the scars returned to their previous prominence because I stopped using the product. I did not expect the scars to return but, unfortunately, they did. These scars are several years old now and it looks like they will need plastic surgery since this product and several others did not work.

I think you can certainly give it a try. From my experience it won't completely eradicate existing stretch marks, but it will help with them if they are somewhat light to begin with and it will prevent new ones if you are diligent about using it.

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.

Continued and regular use of this product should help fade and/or lighten some acne scars. It will likely not work with very dark or deep scars, as those often reach beyond the epidermis (top layer of skin). This product should not be used if you currently have breakouts, as the exfoliation can irritate already sensitive skin.

use the skin therapy oil works perfect for scars, I use this everyday and my scars are almost gone, plus your skin tone is smother, in fact is like a new skin.

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.

I am not sure anyone here can give you that answer. The best bet is to contact Mederma directly and ask them. However, I believe this product works best on recent scars.

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 will certainly feel good about how it lightens any dark area where you have those atrophic scars, if its dark it will help fade it. Atrophic scars require some form of fillling in to make it completely go away and scar creams or gel will not do that completely. They have the Healing Touch derma roller which may help. Derma rollers increase the collogen in the area where its used and that will usually fill in gaps. It works best when the gap is fresh. It is been a long time then it maybe laser treatments if that.

I've been using ScarAway for a couple of weeks and it looks like it is easing and flattening the older scars. The appearance of the newer scars has been miraculous. They are almost non-existent. Give it time.

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.
