ScarAway Professional Grade Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets
ScarAway sheets use the methods found in the best plastic surgery clinics and burn centers and were once accessible only to doctors to help reduce the appearance of scars and enable healthy, smooth skin tissue to grow in place of scar tissue. By using ScarAway on wounds that have recently healed, you can actually prevent new scars from forming. However, it is not just for new skin traumas – old scars can also benefit from treatment with ScarAway. The sheets are made with high-grade silicone gel that allows for maximum airflow to the skin, flexibility, gentle adhesive, and is completely washable. The outer layer is a comfortable fabric that is completely concealable beneath clothes.
One package of ScarAway contains 15 reusable silicone scar sheets that come in a 1.5” x 3” size. They are self-adhesive and simple to affix. They can also be cut to fit for small scars. The high-grade silicone gel, brand name Ceylon, helps to hold moisture in the skin, softening the thick scar tissue and inhibiting the development of new scar tissue. The sheets are extremely comfortable, and a single box is enough for an entire 12-week round of treatment.
Silon, the high-grade silicone used in ScarAway, was originally developed by Pfizer and marketed under its Neosporin brand as Scar Solution. When Pfizer was purchased by Johnson & Johnson in 2006, they discontinued the product; however, consumer demand persuaded Johnson & Johnson to allow Mitchell-Vance Laboratories to begin producing Silon again in 2008 under the brand name ScarAway. You remember the same product from Neosporin, but now in larger sheets and with improved adhesion.
Dr. Blaine’s Complete Scar Care Treatment – A Review
“I had wrist surgery a while back and it left an unsightly red scar. I purchased Dr. Blaine’s and followed the directions, using both the vitamin E ointment and the gel pads. You aren’t supposed to use them together, however, as the pads will only stick to dry skin. The pads are for use in the daytime, the ointment is for nighttime use. I was able to cut the pads to fit my scar, which was nice. Please note that lint will stick to the silicone, but the pads can be washed and dried, and once dry they will stick again. I noticed that another reviewer said that she used medical tape to affix the sheets – good idea! I eventually tired of washing and rewashing pads, and ended up tossing the original box and just buying a new one. This product worked really well to reduce my puffy, red scar, and I definitely recommend it to anyone with hypertrophic or keloid scarring. The scar became flatter, and the color began to fade. After several months, the scar became entirely flat. I would like to tell you that my surgeon was Wow! – he thought I’d need cosmetic surgery to correct it!”
