Its crazy how surgeons don't spend much time talking about this. By the time people start wondering "hey the scar isn't going away" the window for their best shot at reducing the scar has long passed. btw, read the instructions. you are supposed to be diligently applying the product every single day for months during the healing process. I had to get a scar revision and used these products correctly the second time.
Hi Doc! I have a surgery around my shoulder blade, went to a govt hospital but the first thing the doctor told me is, expect scars. You will get scar and your skin will not be the same anymore. Then I am left on my own after getting my stitches removed with the followup, 6wks down the road. So my wound split and then there is a big deep hole, and I have to look for nurses to help me with my wound cleaning.. so fast forward, the deeper layers are still healing, the surface skin is filled up but the skin is going to be dried up. The govt board I went to, nurses : do not anyhow apply things. only apply things your doc prescribed to u. So this is the part I do not understand. When should I use products liked Dermatis ultra? Or what product should I be using at this stage where there is no pus but the surface skin is healing and I am not supposed to keep it dry... i read that moist environment is best to reduce scar. What would you recommend me to use? Does those CICA-CARE gel sheet works for me at this moment? My skin is sensitive, doesnt have those thick healing scars but just dry skin and now waiting for this layer of skin to heal and ... dry off naturally? Thank you
Silicone tape was my interest and I see people with results just wanted to know how correctly use it since TEMU is selling it for $3... And make sense how it works.Not very informative video but plenty others to check ✅❤
I would not purchase anything from TEMU especially something that I will be applying to my face and body. Please do some research on the company and where and how their products are being made.
Please somebody explain this to me like a child because I wanna make sure I’m doing this right lol after we apply the cream and it dries do we then apply the silicone tape? Having to remove the tape to reapply the cream a second time seems like a lot of yanking on the scar.

@@ADITYA-mr8dg I'm not sure, but silicone sheets take a very long time to work. If you've already used silicon sheets for a few months it might be time to try micro needling or laser. A dermatologist would be able to give you a qualified answer.
Hi I got a question I had a ringworm infection a few years ago and it’s healed up quite a lot but I still have some scars from it but where it’s on my scalp it leaves my hair a bit disfigured any tips or advice to helping it heal or fade
stupid question: I just had rhinoplasty, when i take a hot shower it feels amazing like as if the scar tissue under the skin shrinks or liquidates, then the scar tissue hardens & im in pain, could there be a benefit to the hot showers eventually minimizing or liquidating the scar tissues underneath or should i just take cooler showers & keep the swelling at a consistent reasonable level & let my skin & collagen heal over time
Have been watching others content on proactive scar defense. Most I have watched say NOT to reintroduce more injury (micro needling causes injury to the skin, for the purpose to encourage collagen to flood the area). In this case, you have a wound/scar and you want to subdue the body from sending too much collagen which forms discolored or raised visible keloid scar tissue. As he explained the collagen production is what you are wanting to turn off and NOT encourage. So micro needling would be counter productive. ; ) you can actually end up with a scar enlarging when too much collagen is delivered.
Hi doctor, l have 2 scars on my face and on my leg, l got the scars from violence, l have a low selfesteem due to the scars l cant even let people see my face becauae l really feel bad and l am just 21 years old, please doctor help me get rid of the scars, please let me know how l can reach you
Where are you located? Depending on the type of scars there are different treatments you can get. Look up certified plastic surgeons in your area, and do your research to make sure they are reputable. Laser helps a lot after a few months the cuts have healed. But first and above of all, try getting out of the violent situation 😢 nobody deserves to get hurt! If you don’t have the money for procedures you can get silicone scar gel and silicone sheets at the pharmacy and SPF. Stay out of the sun!

Hello Doctor, couple days ago I had surgery, but my surgeon says that I need to keep my scars dry at all times, he said I cannot apply any silicone gels or anything for 7weeks. I want to know if it’s TRUE or NOT? How do I make sure my scar is not developing on the outside? Thank you🌻

This is so truee...!
Most surgeons don't care
What is the product?
Do you use the gel first & then put the tape after?
@@GigiDelaRuaHave you undergone any surgery ? Do you have stitches marks ? How are you treating
About time someone finally has good solid sensible advise!
Doctors need to do all of these things way more, some don’t do it at all…
The siliastic sheets especially
Surprised you advise Omegas because they increase bleeding during surgery and should be stopped weeks before.
I had the same thought.
Same thought
When could I use the red light therapy? How soon after please?
Exactly. My surgeon didn't tell me but I knew to stop many weeks in advance.
You’re the best- information is so relevant and I’ve applied it. 😊

You have to keep applying it every day for months.
But RLT boosts collagen production.
