I have a deep burn in my wrist from my dad's oven - it's an old-fashioned oven and it has a sharp metal lip at the top that overhangs about half an inch. I was baking and when I went to pull out the pan, my wrist touched this top metal lip, and, as is the common reaction, I pulled up and away, which pushed my wrist even further into the hot metal. It was a third degree burn and I was worried it wouldn't ever heal. This was almost a year ago.
I tried treating it with ScarZone, a white cream with green tea. It didn't do anything, so I tried a clear Mederma gel that relies on onion extract and aloe. It seems to help a tiny bit, but it was barely noticeable. The wound had in fact already healed, but there was raised scar tissue and lots of redness that wouldn't go away.
My next thought was to use an organic acid to eat away the scar tissue, which was somewhat successful. I used an alpha hydroxy acid, glycolic acid, at maximum concentration, 70%, and it hurt quite a bit, but I was able to flatten everything out and let it reheal. The glycolic acid listing is below.
(1 oz / 30 ml) GLYCOLIC Acid 70% Skin Chemical Peel - Unbuffered - Alpha Hydroxy (AHA) For Acne, Oily Skin, Wrinkles, Blackheads, Large Pores & More (from Skin Beauty Solutions)
However, the red discoloration was still there and the scar tissue still came back a little bit, so I decided I'd have to get steroid injections or something similar at a local skin care center in Maine where I had had laser hair removal done on my face. I started doing some research and found that even medical offices recommend silicone gel and silicone patches. From anecdotal accounts and some limited medical research, I found that silicone patches are the gold standard for scar healing, and are often more effective than professional steroid injections or other cosmetic work, so I found these ScarAway patches.
I've been using the ScarAway patches for a couple weeks now and there is already very apparent change. The redness around the edges of the scar has receded quite a bit and the scar has flattened out more (still a little raised) and feels softer. The kit comes with enough patches to last 12 weeks (3 months) in which one patch is supposed to last for one week. The patches are fairly large so I cut them in half because my scar is a little smaller than the size of a quarter coin.
I had read some other reviews and the most common complaint was that they didn't stick well enough. I have had an overall good experience with the stickiness, however. The patches are not sticky like a band-aid, they're sticky like a lint roller. That said, I find that mine stays on quite well, especially considering I have it on my wrist. It is easy to peel away and does not cause any pain when peeling it away. The number one reason why it "loses" stickiness is because particles of cloth or hair will get stuck to the underside edges, but this is easily remedied with washing with water. It's pretty easy - just put it under the tap and gently rub the particles off. They come off fairly easy, but you will need to wash the patch at least once a day. My patch was coming off when I slept, so I put an exercise wristband over it and that kept it on at night. I usually wash the patch when I'm in the shower. The sticky side is somewhat like a solid gel, if that makes any sense. I've been replacing my patch about every 3-5 days. Washing it doesn't seem to reduce the stickiness at all. Washing it will make it MORE sticky because it removes any particles that have gotten under the patch edges.
I'm hoping the scar will be almost entirely diminished in a couple months. If not, I may treat it again, very superficially, with the glycolic acid and continue with a acid peel / rehealing process.

BUY THIS PRODUCT if you have scars you want to disapear...
DO NOT hesitate to BUY THIS PRODUCT! And it will work quicker and better if you....First let me start by telling how and why this product has worked amazingly for me. And note I have waited 9 weeks before posting to see how it was working.1. The instructions say leave on a minimum of 12 hours...if you follow this you are just doubling your healing time. I leave mine on for 24 hours.2. What you need to do is have 2 sets revolving at once. So when I have a shower in the morning I put a set of ScarAway's on my scar, I wear all day and night (check to make sure still secure against the skin every once in awhile)...the next morning I wash the one set that was on, and put on the other set that were drying from the previous mornings wash. REPEAT DAILY.3. Don't be cheap, if you want good results, and a quicker healing time. I originally wanted to see how long I could get the sheets to last, BUT if they are not as sticky and are tending to fall off, you are not getting the proper adhesion, therefore the healing isn't happening to its fullest. I have 2 sets revolving, and each set of sheets I use I will have in place for 2 weeks each. So because I am revolving sets I get 4 weeks worth from when opened (hope this makes sense).NOW the proof for me:1. I had a mole removed over 1 year ago, this spot was actually indented, and alot darker than the rest of my skin. In 9 weeks it is now completely flat, no indents...its like it had regrowth. And the color is almost the same as the rest of my skin. Where it was noticeable when I looked from afar in the mirror, I can barley see it now.2. BIGGEST PROOF: I have had 2 adomnoplasty's (tummy tucks) within 1 year, muscles came undone the first time. The first procedure I never used any scar repair, my doctor said it was not necessary - boy, was he wrong...he obviously never saw what ScarAway can do. The first time I heeled nice, but it took 12 months (Scar was also only 7 inches, like a C-section scar - 2nd surgery scar went to my hip bones.)Now my second surgery, I had a few things going on that were different, I started using 5 weeks after surgery:1) The scar was itchy - using Scaraway stopped that immediately2) My scar was raised more - the raised part went down and was almost completely flat within 7 days of using ScarAway.3) This scar was alot more purple and thicker looking then my last...But last night I almost jumped for joy when I noticed the scars on the edges were already looking like a very fine, white pencil line. (Now I did have a great surgeon, who cut a good, straight incision to begin with - but it was still purple, thick and raised)4) Also the nude color looks great against the skin, so nice if my scar bugged me in the future I would wear Scaraway just to conceal it.5) Scar feels protectedSO REMEMBER IF YOU WANT FAST, SUPER RESULTS - WEAR FOR 24 HOURS, SHOWER, WASH, AND THEN REPLACE WITH CLEAN SCARAWAY'S! Also try the longer than 12 suggested weeks...I am only at 9 weeks, but I will wear for 6 months, or if the scar is barely noticeable, whatever comes sooner. Either way you cant go wrong if you subscribe on Amazon for the auto-delivery (and you save a few bucks).Remember 24 HOURS, not the suggest 12 hours!!!
