Can I use it to flatten out my tiny scar from stitches that is very old? Will it peel off the top layer of it?

Use Kelocote Gel. Nothing else that does not include your Dermatologist giving injections of Kenalog into the scar will help.

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 have peeled it back and straightened it out or changed it a bit but I'm not sure it would keep resticking if you did it all the time. Better to cut out a small section so you could see out.

Sorry can't give you an accurate answer, because my scar is a new injury. For the old scar is useful, is not very clear.

It's only for acne. It won't shrink wrap your skin or anything. Scars is something that takes a long time to heal (I know from experience). So I just wore some makeup until that was gone. :)

It does stick but comes off too easy so a couple of times it disappeared. I started using tegaderm to keep it on and that works great. Then you just peel it off, wash it and then use again with a new tegaderm. It works great especially for flattening the scar and the redness.

I am using it for my tummy tuck scar. I had surgery back in March and it has definitely helped. It has flatten out and it has cleared in a lot of spots. I am very please and will use it until I feel comfortable. I cut it in half lengthwise as it seems to work well like that.

Make sure to press the end without the rollers and roll them along the scar. Press a few times and and roll. It works great!

I did not but I think it might come off on clothes not sure I used to cover scar on leg but did not put stockings over. I have a friend though that uses this instead of stockings for dancing

Yes. I do! Just be sure that you aren't pulling the bandaid off when it's still sticking well, it'll cause it to make a scab larger and possibly scar! Good luck :)

Hi Shannon:The scar I'm using it on is old so unfortunately itching doesn't apply. Sorry if this doesn't answer your question.

not really used for that area.use it for a neck surgery, the scar effectively reduced to 90%I have no idea that works for that purpose you need to

There is a curved needle that would work better, but any needle would work if you are careful when sewing up the rip/tear. If you expect to sew and make the tear more water tight then keep the stitches closer together.

It depends on how creatiive you are. I suppose you could attempt to shirr on a folded edge and therefore make a whole piece of cloth, or yardage shirred, but remember this little tool works best on very light weight and shirr fabrics so it may not work on the fold, but you should try it.

No, this just holds your project in place when it is to thick for the hoop. The glue would get on your needle and thread. It would also stay under your stitches and distort your stitches when you pull it off.

If your scar is completely healed, I do not think this garment would irritate it. I think at 7 weeks if you wear this garment daily, you will see flattening of your belly and improvement in the separation of your abdominal muscles. If that is what you desire, I think you would get results. I really think this garment helped me get back to my pre pregnancy figure. Good luck with your new baby!
