Mederma


Recommended Posts

Hey,

I have been using mederma since surgery and honestly I cannot tell much difference. The tube says to use it 3-4 times a day and I honestly don't use it that much, usually just in the morning and at night, but I havent seen that much difference. Ive been doing this since I healed up after surgery. its been about 2 months.

just wondering if anyone else had any luck with this product?

Is that for scars? The only scar cream that plastic surgeons recommend is the kind with silicone. I bought a lot of it, it's called Kelo-Cote. It's expensive. I have been using a little bit on an OLD leg scar and I can tell a little bit of difference (and I don't use it daily as I should). Or they have silicone sheets. I have that too but I am waiting til I have my tummy tuck and everything closes up before I try that....

Hi there,

I haven't been here for ages - hope all are well!

I've used mederma (but not nearly as often as you're supposed to) since my surgery 9 months ago.

My scars have gotten MUCH better as time has gone by, but of course I have no idea if the mederma made a difference or if they've just healed normally. The biggest one is the most visible, but very light. One of the others is very difficult to see - it always takes me a minute to find it to put on the mederma.

My sister, who was banded the same day as me, has more noticeable scars, but our skin is fairly different - she's a bit darker/more olive than me, and she also has more sensitive skin. She hasn't used mederma. Who knows if it really helps, but I continue to use it in case it does.

I've used Maderma for the first 3 months and as well, Vit E. I alternated between the two daily, but used Maderna either once or twice a day. My scars, especially the larger one where the port is, is very soft and smoothe. I stopped using the Maderma, as I don't need it anymore. After showering, I use the Bio Oil for an all over body massage. I do keelp a small water spray with a mix of the Bio Oil and water and when I feel 'dry', I would spray mist myself and rub it in. To me, it's a good thing, as I feel I am hydrating the outside with it and drinking a minimum of 8 glass of water a day.

I've also use Maderma for my old scars and the same thing, not as visible it once was and there is no darken of the skin, just soft and subtle now. I guess it just depends on the person how it reacts.

I haven't tried the strips that Karen and Lisa mentioned...not sure if it works on old or existing scars...but will check into it.
