Do I massage this into my scar or just apply it over the scar?

I was instructed by my surgeon's staff to apply a very thin layer over my scars. They stressed the very thin part. They also told me to massage my scars, but I didn't get the impression it was with the BioCorneum.

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

you follow the directions to heat it in the microwave, then use a wooden stick (something like a tongue depressor) and spread it on the area to be waxed, let it cool then pull it off. I apply it in patches about 2inches X 2inches. Smaller on really sensitive areas. If you have never had a wax before do it professionally first and watch how they do it.

I can only answer for the Scar Repair Gel. It has helped me. I apply it morning and night according to my doctor's orders. I couldn't find that product in the stores in my area and did try the Scar Away Patch and I didn't like that at all and took it back to the store for a refund. Amazon is where I found what I was looking for.

Hello, to use it on your face, you use the round flat device or the one next to it in the photo on this page. You usually have to use a piece of thin gauze in between the piece and your skin. Works very well for blemishes and scars. Overall skincare. Let me know how you make out. I would appreciate your feedback.

You're suppose to apply it to the patch and put the patch on. But don't bother. The stuff does NOT work. Go to a beauty supply store and buy the good stuff.

Always read the manufacturer's directions. This is a must for ANY product. Just make sure that the area is clean before you apply the product. I usually put it on after I waxed the hairy area and then again when I felt hairy under my chin. Also, with ingrown hairs, do not get into the habit of plucking them out with tweezers. This will cause the area to become inflamed and cause discoloration. I haven't used the product in a while because I ended up seeing a dermatologist and I didn't like the product peeling my skin. I still think its a good product, but I think it really depends on how bad your ingrown hairs are. Hope this helped! :) Always read the manufacturer's directions. This is a must for ANY product.

"Smallest drop" is a relative term. I use a drop that is about half of a tapioca bead. It is important to massage your amount into the crevices and the high point of the scar tissue making sure that you are also rubbing the amount on the margins outside the scar tissue. This helps to create the"tight seal" minimizing the amount of air reaching the scar tissue.

I don't think it would work. You would have to put gauze under the tegaderm to cover the scar. It would protect the gauze from getting wet and the sun from going through the gauze. I use the dressing over a pain patch so I can go for water therapy. I am not in the sun with it on. If I were to go in the sun I believe I would need a gauze over my patch so the sun would not interfere with the medication.Hope this helps.

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:)

I usually just put it all over and its made so you can put it on your face too. I blend it down my arms and then take my gloves off and rub it into my hands like lotion. Then I take the stuff on the inside of my hands off with windex. It would leave a tone change but unless someone really paid attention I don't think they would notice.

If you mean scars that are left from a burn healing, I suppose it would depend on how bad the burn was. I used it for a scar left from a small skin cancer surgery which left about a one-inch scar on my arm. Minor surgery really but tumor was deep. It worked wonderfully--for me anyway. You have to really look to see it. I put it on about 3 times a day (don't need to use very much) and massaged it in. I don't remember how many days I used it but it wasn't too long. Maybe a couple of weeks--and a couple of days for good measure! According to my doctor, massaging is the key. Hope this helps.

No, this product is more for while the scar is healing. It stays put and keeps the skin together.

Idk, i haven't used it on my keloid. But the best things to use on a keloid scar would be to get injections from a dermatologist, go to a rite aid or cvs buy kelo cote and the scar away bandages/repair gel

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.

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 think you should apply it directly to the wound, then blow on it until it dries, then wrap it. Then it shouldn't do that.
