I have a small depressed scar on my forehead. Would this be safe or effective?

I would buy the smallest MM roller for use on your face. The 1.5mm hurts on my thigh, so it would definitely bring blood on the face.

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.

I've used this product for about a month and it has lessened the appearance of scarring.

It'll help remove the top layer of the skin but don't overdo it or it'll cause the skin to burn by applying too much. I recommend to do it once a month for scaring and use a lightening lotion the rest of the time

It does help smooth out the skin (with the proper machine), if used weekly. A good brightening serum will help the dark/lightness of the scars.

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 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.

Yes. So long as it is a raised scar. You should use it on the scar when the scar has healed over. You should apply Scarguard twice a day. You can use scotch tape to remove the previous application. Scarguard is designed to adhere to the skin and not wash off, which is why it is reliable and so much better than gels, oils or creams. It also not only creates collagenase-raising tension but also contains hydrocortizone which together melt the collagen, flattening and shrinking the scar.

I would ask my doctor first, but I am sure in my readings of kelo cote that I saw that it can be used on children. Just go to google and type in "can kelo cote scar gel be used on children?" I had gotten in from my plastic surgeon where I had probably a total of 21 inches of scarring. It is totally healed in one year in June that I had to have a surgery. You have to look very close and even then I cannot see the scarring, nor can anyone else. But definitely google it, and ASK YOUR DR. I do remember that I saw, maybe on one of the ads that it was used on a child's burns maybe? NOT really sure, so please ask your Doctor first. I can attest that it really really works......My doctor sells it, but I can buy the bigger one for much less than what she charges from Amazon. You only need a teeny bit so it lasts a long time. Hope I could help. God Bless!

I would hesitate to do that because it burns and it leaves a brownish like scar if you are not adept at using acid. They have different strengths, but I have no faith or confidence in using this product. I have a burn on my back, so I would imagine if you used it on your face, you might not like the results. I would not, myself, recommend using it on the face. I would not take that chance.

Absolutely. It's first of all safe but it also doesn't affect my sensitive eyes (and I have terrible allergies right now). I did notice a more visible difference in my forehead and smile lines.

Yes! My scars are 15+ years old and ScarAway helped. They are not gone, but much less noticeable.

It won't hurt you to use it on scars, but it will not reduce the appearance of them. However, if you have ingrown hairs in a scar this may work. My skin did not respond to this product at all, but a lot of reviewers swear by this product. I have bumpy skin (there is a name for this condition, but I cannot remember what it is) and my skin is super dry, so this product just dried out my skin, and dry skin makes my ingrown hairs worse. Hope this helps.

Yes, it works with the scar as my husband got scar from chicken pox as well, but you can't apply every night as your face will burn and be more damage.

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 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'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.
