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.

@@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 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.
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

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!
Dr i need ur help, my baby got a surgery on mouth when she was 3month now she's 2years but the scar became bigger what can i do.i too her back to hospital they told me to use mardama and scaro cream .please answer me what can i use .
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.
What can I do if all of this I didn't follow and now I have obvious scar so depressing me I used gels and inject steroids ,it is just alittle improved .what can I do else??
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🌻
Hello Dr . Barrett please can you tell me if skinuva good after eyelid surgery? I have done blephora plastic almost 3 weeks ago but something wrong my scar is upper than my crease and very visible it makes me depression, do you think Skinuva helps me, please please please let me know thank you.
If you go to the Amazon reviews, there are 2 people who had the same surgery as you, both with pictures that show it looks good as prior to surgery. Don't despair. It will be okay.

What is the product?
Are breast explant Creases and folding caused by keloids/scarring? How to prevent it? Such valuable info, thank you for sharing!
But RLT boosts collagen production.
Can i use a silicone sheet to my nose after one month of procedure?
silicone tape draws the sunken scar up.
Would you use the gel first and then the silicone strips ? Or only use one form of treatment ?
Which brand? Actually some sheets are not available in india so what can we go for? Is scaraway silicone gel sheets worth the hype?
Please tell
Thank you doctor. How fast is it ok to use red light after the facelift and co2 laser?
Eyelid scar

Silicon gel/tape, laser, micro needling or scar revision surgery are some options.

You’re the best- information is so relevant and I’ve applied it. 😊
What about verteporfin for scarless healing?
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
How soon after a tummy tuck can you use red light therapy?
Will this help for scars suffered from Large Volume Electrolysis?

So upset, my son got stitches and they told me to keep the area dry. All videos I’ve seen say moist!!! 😭 I pray it heals perfectly
@alioxinfree you said sheet "and" gel, is it ok to use just the silicone sheet alone without any gel nor neosporin??
@@YogaPinaythe gel wont let the silicone patch stay. When your not wearing the silicone wear the scar gel with a bandaide
@@hoonyhoon222 yes that will work, thanks!
