Customer Reviews of Scaraway Professional Grade Silicone Scar Treatment Sheets 1.5" x 3" 8-CountCustomer Review: Real evidence that Silicon Gel products are worth the premium
I just read an article in the LATIMES ([...] from April 17, 2011 and it made very clear by quoting recent studies that Mederma and all the other products (with one exception - silicone gel products like ScarAway) worked no better than petroleum jelly. Same with Vitamin E and all the other products. According to the article (which quotes recent studies), its merely the fact that all these products keep the scar moist. That is the mechanism that Mederma, Vitamin E, etc work better than letting the scar heal by itself. Studies clearly show no benefit to any of these scar products (with one exception - silicone gel) versus plain old petroleum jelly. So just clean your cut with simple soap and water (anti-bacterial gels and soaps don't help other than to make you more resistant to anti-biotics, so they are actually a detriment!!!) and put petroleum jelly on it followed by a band-aid. Neosporin and the like are a waste of money. (This has actually been known for a long time and is not the point of my review. There's plenty of science to back this point up if you research it.) The one thing worth buying is silicone gel treatments like Scar-Away, that originally came as gels to treat burn victims, and can now be bought as sheets attached to a band-aid like backing. And the best part is that silicone gel products work great on old scars. Scar-Away Sheets are the only brand we tried so far but we were perfectly happy with them. Its one of many so do your own research to see if one brand cheaper than another or has some other advantage we are unaware of. But so far, these adhere well and are reasonably priced. Good Luck.
