Works Great!
By Dan Westaburger
My 2 year old daughter has been wearing these for 6 months per the recommendation from her plastic surgeon. She fell and hit her head on a table, and her scar goes from the middle of her forehead down into her eyebrow. I KNOW these things work because we could only get the strip to adhere on her forehead and not in her eyebrow because of the hair. Where the strip has adhered, the scar is smooth and flesh-tone. Where the strip has not adhered, the scar is still pink and jagged. So- I KNOW they work. No, it is not a magic eraser. I'm sure there will always be some sign of a scar, but this product truly does at least minimize scarring and accelerate healing.
FYI- our plastic surgeon said the very best treatment for reducing scar visibility is:
1) silicone strips
2) Massage
3) Mederma
Because our daughter couldn't sleep with the strip on and has a tendency to pull it off because she's 2, she only wore it 6 hours a day. the rest of the day we spent putting 3 treatments of mederma and massaging. Of course the Mederma and massaging has reached the entire scar even into her eyebrow. So these strips really do work- because only the silicone hasn't reached the part inside her eyebrow.
The other thing our plastics dr. said was to not let it get sunburned! So the Mederma with the SPF is great! I don't know if the silicone provides any SPF protection- probably not.
But if you have a recent wound that you are concerned about scarring, get this! it may be embarrassing to wear a little clear bandage for a while, but believe me, it does at least accelerate the healing if not improve the scar all around! and you'll be much less embarrassed later on when your scar isn't as visible!

Works but you have to be patient and deticated to the process
By Spiro Telegadis
I received a scrap on my face from a loss of consciousness. I was worried about the healed wound starting to keloid. Since I've been using the gell sheeting at night and a mixture of this E-Sil, vitamin E, Sunscreen and Mederma it's been reduced significantly. It takes time and you NEED to clean the pads. I placed some athletic tape on the back side of the pad to have it stay put at night.

Most adhesive of any brand
By Judy Shafer
I have tried several other products from other manufacturers. At first I didn't think I'd like the intense adhesiveness of this gel pad but found that if you can place and leave it alone, the strip of pad can last well over one week. If you cut the pads to just slightly over the width of your scar, this can be an economical product. Since I paid $40.00 at my Doctor's office for just one box, I think the price on Amazon is outstanding. Silicone gel pads of various types have been around for well over 20 years but they use to be for the use of Doctors only and nearly 1/4 thick (BioGel)! Glad they learned that the thickness is not important, although compression can assist in preventing hypertrophic scaring and to more quickly blanch the redness out of a scar. Gentle massage can also help soften a scar. The real trick is getting the silicone to stick and stay in place. For an arm or leg, buy rolls of medical "netting" which will act to keep the pad in place and also provide mild compression. For the torso, about the only recourse is to use tape when the adhesion lessens. I don't think that silicone liquids could do much good but have not tried them. The silicone must be in contact with the skin at least 12 hours a day for 3 months to see any results. A liquid or cream would just get wiped off.
