Scar Treatment Products come in the form of gels, creams, and silicone gel sheets to cover cuts and surgical incisions to prevent scarring or improve the appearance of existing scars. Some people look at scars as a badge of honor, while others will do anything to prevent them or minimize their appearance, especially when the scar is visible on the face, neck, or arm. These over-the-counter scar treatment medications offer more ingredients than a Neosporin antibiotic ointment for those individuals who want a better healing outcome and to minimize the scar's appearance.

Proper wound care involves keeping the skin moist to promote healing to the injured skin. Topical scar cream or gel includes medical-strength ingredients to effectively penetrate the skin and encourage healing and skin regeneration. Many of these scar creams incorporate natural ingredients such as plant oils and the antioxidants vitamin E and vitamin C, which help to stabilize the skin cells as the body is repairing. Whether the wound is currently in the healing stage or an unwanted scar is left behind, these products are designed to lessen the color and surface appearance of the scar. Below is a list of scar care treatment products to help customers find their preferred course of action during the healing process and address the appearance of new and old scar tissue.

Scar Treatment Options

What is the best scar treatment? What product to use may depend on the healing stage of the skin or the thickness of the scar scar. Individuals may want to seek advice from their dermatologist to find the best scar treatment plan. Many of the topical scar creams and gels are used to encourage better healing outcomes and minimize scarring from cuts to post-surgical wounds, such as those from a c-section. Individuals with existing scars may also use these products to improve existing scars, including scarring from surgical sites, burns, and acne. Silicone scar sheets are designed to improve raised scar types that often take longer to flatten and fade in color.

Scar Gels

Topical scar gels are a popular course of treatment for preventing scars and treating existing scars. The silicone gel smooths over the wound and creates a moist protective barrier. A thin layer of gel is applied up to four times daily and covered by a primary dressing or bandage if desired.

Examples:

  • TriDerma Scar Block is a clear gel that is dispensed easily from a tube. It contains medical-strength and natural ingredients such as leaf extracts and aloe to keep the skin moisturized to promote healing.
  • Mederma Advanced Scar Gel is the No. 1 recommended gel for treating old and new scars. Its long-lasting formula only requires a single application per day. Mederma contains the active ingredient allantoin, a plant extract that improves skin texture and maintains moisture. 1

Scar Sheets

Scar Gel Sheets contain silicone or medical-grade mineral oil gel material to offer a pliable and comfortable cover over the skin. Its flexibility makes it easy to contour to the elbow or knee. The gel material contains ingredients to improve the surface and color appearance of scars.

Examples:

  • Cica-Care Gel Sheet is a sterile silicone sheet applied to hypertrophic or keloid raised scars.
  • Gel-Care Advanced Scar Sheet is not made with silicone and provides a hypoallergenic sheet for skin types sensitive to silicone. The medical-grade mineral oil gel material is infused with botanical oils and vitamins to aid in scar treatment and reduce itching during the healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a keloid and hypertrophic scar?
Both of these scar types are thick scars with a raised surface. Keloid scars spread beyond the wound incision whereas hypertrophic scars stay within the original perimeter.

How is a keloid scar treated?
Silicone sheets or gel are treatments that are used over the scar. Consult with a dermatologist to discuss if other treatments are necessary, such as laser therapy or surgical removal.

How long does a silicone sheet remain on the scar?
The duration of time will depend on the severity of the scar. Most manufacturers recommend using the silicone gel sheet for 2 to 3 months for new scars and 3 to 6 months for existing scars.

Is it possible to fade the color of a scar?
Yes, scar gels and silicone sheets are designed to improve the color. It takes time and won't happen overnight.
