FAQs
What is Mederma® Skin Care for Scars™?
MEDERMA® is the first topical gel created to help reduce the appearance of scars. It’s made from a proprietary botanical extract to form a greaseless gel that is pleasant-smelling, easy to use, and most importantly, effective.
When should I start using Mederma®?
As soon as your wound has healed or your sutures have been removed. Or, start using MEDERMA® immediately on older scars.
Who should use Mederma®?
Anyone with a scar can use MEDERMA®. When used as directed, it’s safe for all ages. However, some people may be sensitive to its ingredients, so if you experience severe itching, swelling or scar discoloration, stop using MEDERMA® immediately. If symptoms persist, you should contact your doctor.
So what makes Mederma® different?
Well first of all, MEDERMA® is the #1 doctor-recommended product for scars. It’s also an invisible topical gel. So, unlike cosmetic pads or silicone sheeting, your scar management is never noticeable.
Does Mederma® make scars disappear?
No product can make scars disappear completely. But MEDERMA® can help them appear softer, smoother and less noticeable.
What is Cepalin®?
Cepalin® is the proprietary botanical extract used in MEDERMA®. It works to soften hardened scar tissue and improve the color, texture and overall appearance of scars.
Can’t I just use a store brand scar product?
While store brand scar products may share some of the same ingredients as MEDERMA®, they are not the same as MEDERMA®. MEDERMA® is a patented formula, with a proprietary ingredient, Cepalin®, and it cannot be duplicated.
Mederma Skin Care for Scars, Topical Gel Review
I’ve had 3 knee surgeries, the first of which was in 2002 from a doctor who really didn’t know what he was doing. As a result, I got this huge scar on my knee with 13 little raised scars from the stitches, that I call my football laces. I’m Asian, so I get keloid scars and eventually I just stopped caring about it since I didn’t think there was anything I could do about it.
I had another surgery in 2008 where the doctor removed my old scar (still had the laces), and I again did nothing. My scar started out as thin and much prettier, but because I didn’t take care of it, it eventually spread because of the stretching of the skin while my knee bent.
Third surgery was in January of this year, the doctor removed my scar again and kept the laces, but this time, I’ve decided to take care of this scar.
I started using Mederma 4 times a day 5 days ago and I all ready see a HUGE difference! My raised laces have smoothed out and are starting to fade. I’m not kidding. The place where my drain was is healing well and the big scar itself is looking great. It’s not too red or scary, and it’s totally soft and looks like a “normal” scar. I can’t wait to see it in another month or two, the timeframe that Mederma recommends.
I really recommend this product to anyone who has a new or an old scar. It WORKS. |
