How to make a scar vanish: There are a host of treatments – but do any of them work?
Daily Mail, 12th October 2010
'The skill of the surgeon is key to the way your scar will eventually look,’ says Niall Kirkpatrick, a plastic surgeon at Chelsea and Westminster and the Royal Marsden Hospitals. 'But there are steps you can take to help, and they must be performed during the maturation process — once stitches have been removed and the scar has started to heal.'
Here, he reviews various treatments, which we then rated.
Kelo-cote advanced formula scar gel came Top and was rated 9/10
This silicone-based gel claims to soften and smooth all types of scars. Apply a very thin layer; this forms a waterproof membrane that acts as a second skin to trap Âmoisture and hydrate the scar, which helps to Âflatten it out. Apply twice daily for a minimum of 60 days.
Verdict: ‘This product has been widely used by surgeons for many years. There is increasing Âevidence that silicone ointments like this one — particularly if used after an aqueous moisturising cream — can help to keep the scar hydrated. It can be a bit sticky to use, however.’
Rating: 9/10
