Aroamas Scar Silicone Scar Tape– Softens & Flattens Scars from Surgery, Injury, Burns, C-Section, Scratch Marks – Reusable Medical-Grade Silicone Scar Sheets for All Skin Types [3"x1.57", 8 Sheets]

I had carpal tunnel surgery on my left hand in February. While I wasn’t concerned about the appearance of my scar (inside of my wrist), my physical therapist (seeing for me knee) voiced her concern over the amount of scar tissue that was developing. This was 5-6 weeks post surgery. She told me that an excess amount of scar tissue buildup at the incision site, could put pressure on my radial nerve, which would negate any benefit I received from the surgery.So in addition to doing scar massage (to keep the scar from adhering to the surrounding tissue), I purchased these scar sheets and began using them. My scar was fairly small so each of the 1.6” x 3” sheets could be cut up into 8 smaller sections that were large enough to cover my scar. I primarily wore the patch at night. I secured it with two pieces of Durapore fabric tape not only to keep it in place also to protect it from gathering lint from my bed sheets.I found that if put a piece of the fabric tape on the back surface of the scar pad and then cut the tape down around the edges of the scar patch, the patch was easier to handle…..less likely to fold in and stick on itself. I still would secure the patch to my wrist with the two strips of tape so it wouldn’t come off while I was asleep. Having the fabric tape backing on the scar pad also made it easier to remove the other strip of tape used to secure it from the back of the pad.I can’t say how long it took for the scar to “disappear” because sometimes I would forget to wear the patch or I might only have it on for a couple of hours that day. The thickness of the scar diminished greatly. The scar was like a hard bump when I began wearing the patches and now the scar tissue is very pliable.If you are careful with the patch, they will last a long time. If the pad does start to lose its stickiness, using medical tape in conjunction with the pad will allow you to get more use out of it.If you wear these patches and you sweat or they get wet (prolonged exposure to water), they will come off. It is important to wash them when they get any kind of fuzz/lint on them. Be sure and use cold water because the silicone becomes more sticky/pliable with heat and you will end up rubbing the silicone off instead of just the debris stuck to the surface. I would also occasionally use regular rubbing alcohol to clean the pads because the oil from your skin will also cause them to not stick as well. This may not be advisable but I don’t feel like it was detrimental or changed the effectiveness of the scar pad.I have used these scar patches for other areas of my body, as well. I am always banging and scraping myself when working in the yard and when you get older (I’m in my 50’s), scars tend to stick around longer than when you are younger.Because I was more concerned about the build up of scar tissue vs. the appearance of the scar, I continued to wear the patches after the surface scar was gone. Scar tissue will continue to develop for up to a year after trauma, so I am still using the patches a couple of days a week on my left hand.I just had carpal surgery on my right hand 3 weeks ago. As soon as my incision was completely healed….15 days post surgery….I started wearing a scar patch. Since I started wearing the patch much earlier on this wrist, I expect faster/better results.

Me operé de los senos y mi doctor me recomendó estás cintas sin dudarlo las pedí para probarlas y puedo decir que fue mi mejor compra para este proceso de cicatrización porque me ayudó con mis cicatrices y tuve un excelente resultado .

I bought these after having excision surgery on my arm on 5/1. The scar was still really raised days later, so I researched scar strips. These were most recommended by dermatologist reviews, so I thought I'd try them. Glad I did! Started using them on 5/16. After just a few DAYS my scar flattened out. I wore them the entire recommended 15 weeks to ensure the best result and I'm pleased with the very minimal scar I have now. I did have an excellent surgeon and my scar was new, but I think these are worth trying for anyone, given the results I saw. Already recommended to a friend!

Pics are of scar with sheet on, today, and right before first application(they can be applied once the incision is closed and there is no scabbing.) about 4 weeks of use. I wish I had taken regular progress pictures to show how well these work! The scar always looks purple right after removal, but that fades quickly.I have been using these scar sheets for about 4 weeks now following a total knee replacement. I had my other knee done several years ago and have a large, wide scar and was looking for something to help prevent that from happening with this one. After researching vitamin E oils and creams and discovering that there really isn’t any scientific proof that vitamin E does more than moisturize the area, I found information about silicone scar sheets. I am very impressed!At 3 weeks post-op I began using the scar sheets. Within two weeks, the incision was less raised and not showing signs of dryness. I’m at 8 heels post-op and my scar is amazing! It’s still healing but these sheets have definitely helped the process.Added benefit is that the sheet aids in massaging the scar to break up scar tissue by providing a smooth surface and preventing friction.Negatives:I haven’t been able to get one to last 2 weeks as is indicated on the box. Longest has been 5 days, with very minimal removal and reapplying.When trying to rinse the sheet to clean off fuzzies or stains(followed instructions provided,)it curls up on itself and is very difficult to get unstuck and flat to dry. Wasted a few that way.If a corner or edge lifts, it is going to eventually roll up on itself and come off. Again, wasted a few due to that. TIP: Have found that cutting off the part that is no longer sticky helps.If pulled too tightly across scar, especially on a joint that is bending, it will not stay adhered. TIP: if using on a joint, apply when joint is fully extended and do not try to stretch it to fit.Overall, I think they’re worth the cost.

I don't know how, or why but these actually work. I got them on the 11th, it's now the 13th. I was able to wear them for 2 days before they peeled off. I had a horrible scar on my foot, no idea where it came from. But it made me not want to wear sandals or flip flops because of how ugly it was. I also have a scar on my forehead from passing out and cracking my head off the edge of my living room table. I had to get stitches for this one.I went to apply a new sheet and was amazed to see that the scars had faded a great amount and weren't raised anymore. Even my husband commented on it. I also want to say I have an excessive sweating problem. And I mean SWEATING. Dripping from my nose, going in my eyes and ears. Just disgusting. However, the patch on my forehead scar stayed on with no problem. I was worried it would peel off but it didn't move. If you have a scar that you want to fade, just give these a try. Really happy I bought them!!
