The prospect of scar removal can be intimidating for some people, especially if they’ve had their scars for a long time. Older scars can be very difficult to remove, and some people don’t like the idea of going under the knife to get rid of them. It’s costly and involves time off work and out of your life for something that’s essentially cosmetic. So, what can you do attack the process of scar removal without surgery?
One technique that has a 95% success rate for reducing the appearance of scars is silicone patches. InvisiScar® provides a wide range of silicone patches to fit any type of scar. They’ve had success with burn scars, surgical scars, acne scars, old scars and new scars. The silicone works to break down the tough scar tissue, while the lack of oxygen the patch provides helps smooth the skin to reduce the look of the scar quickly. Most patch users see improvements in 3 weeks, with total results in 6.

Another thing that can help reduce the look of scars without surgery is over the counter creams and gels. The problem with this route is it can get rather costly over time, as the months wear on and you have to keep purchasing the creams to see the full effects from them. However, when used alongside InvisiScar’s silicone patches they can be extremely effective.
In fact, InvisiScar’s silicone patches can be used in combination with a number of natural approaches, including:
Vitamins: Vitamin A helps control the production of sebam, which causes acne. Vitamin E helps skin heal and can quickly help reduce the look of any scar. Vitamin C is thought to increase collagen production, which helps smooth scars out.
Olive Oil: Olive oil has moisturizing properties that can help reduce the appearance of scars naturally. Simply massage it into the affected area daily to see it’s healing effects first hand.
Lemon Juice: Lemon juice helps to exfoliate the skin and lift away dead layers of skin, so that new, less damaged layers can replace them. It also helps soften the fibrous tissue scars are made up of to reduce their appearance.
Lavender Oil: It seems that lavender oil has a deadly effect on the fibrous tissue scars are made up of, which effectively reduces their size and appearance.
Stop smoking: Smoking decreases blood flow and oxygen levels all over the body. That slows the body’s natural healing process. It only takes 4 weeks for your body to return to its natural pace of healing after you quit, so the sooner you stop, the better you’ll look and feel.
Cocoa Butter: Cocoa butter has been used for years to reduce stretch marks after pregnancy, and it has similar effects on smoothing out scars. The key, as with any scar treatment is persistence and consistency. Apply it at least twice daily to see results over time.
All of these natural treatments can help give the silicone patch a helpful boost to really eliminate the look of your scar. For more information on scar removal without surgery, visit www.scarout.com today.
