Xeragel 100% Silicone Scar Treatment Ointment 10g – Scar Gel for Smoother, Flatter Scars from Surgery, Burns, Acne & More - For Old & New Scars on Face, Neck & Hands - Hypoallergenic & Fragrance-free

A tiny tube! The product is very thick. Which for me was soothing and healing because I was applying it to a few places on my face which was scarred from a fall so these are abrasive wounds. Some still had raised feeling to them and were pretty red. After the first treatment the redness disappeared by 75% and I was surprised! So I've been using it for about 3 weeks and I'm seeing the worst scar looking a whole lot better. I did document with photos so when looking better I will might post them. The best part about this product and it's the most significant thing to know about this product is that it is made in the United States. The brand was recommended to me by a top plastic surgeon.

Expensive. But works!

I had my nose pierced several months ago, and hypertrophic scar tissue (which is not a permanent kind of scar) started building up around the stud. I tried remedying it with saline soaking and chamomile, but it continued to worsen until the scar tissue completely covered my stud (which was very tiny). I finally replaced the stud with a larger one, which helped hide/press down on the scarring, and I also purchased this gel, as I had read some peer-reviewed research about the effectiveness of pure silicone gel on hypertrophic scarring. Within a few days of using it, the scarring had almost disappeared completely. Granted, some of the scar tissue may still be "hidden" by the stud—and I don't know if it would worsen if I put a tiny stud in again—but now my piercing looks completely normal. And I can still see that the scarring that was right above the piercing is gone now. In short, this product worked wonders, and I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who has hypertrophic scarring that they are trying to address.

I purchased the Xeragel Silicone Gel as well as the Arnicare Gel in the hopes one or the other would help with a hard scar left by a recent trigger thumb surgery. They were both the same in that they didn't really work for me. They may work for others who don't have a hard scar tissue or they might work better in a different area of the body. I have found for me the best treatment is to soak my hand in warm water with some Epsom salts until the whole area is softened from the heat. Then use a deep tissue percussion massager on the area. My scar is only 1 month old and already it's painful to use a pepper grinder. This is still a work in progress and I am hopeful continued hot water soaks along with the massages will help.

I have used XERAGEL for a month. PROS, I think it does work. My scar from a breast surgery HAS dimished. CONS, It IS STICKY, and does not really dry, al least in the breasts, as they tend to sweat, and you cannot leave the scar without putting clothes over it all day long, obvioulsy. Maybe in a face scar it could be different. Another con is that each tube only lasts a week, as the whole of my scar was about 15 inches I guess, beeing a typical Inverted T scar from that type of surgery.

my mother in law swears by this stuff. She is 81 and gorgeous skin so she knows a thing or 2! I tried it when my dog scratched me(deep) on my arm and it worked!

This product is NOT greasy. It is not as greasy as vasoline. It is a light gel consistency. It does not dry but I don't find it a problem on my face. I have a 3" long scar from a cyst removal and it is already looking pretty good. The surgery was done a week ago and I just started using the gel two days ago per Dr. order. I was concerned about people's comments about it being a greasy problem and almost didn't try it...so glad I bought it.

I have been using the Episof pump gel for 1 year now on both of my feet after surgeries and love that product but it is quite costly so wanted to try the ointment from Biodermis. I'm glad I bought only 1 small tube as it is so completely different from the expensive gel. It is sticky and doesn't spread very well and doesn't really absorb at all so will go back to the gel. I can not make any comments regarding efficacy of reducing scarring. The gel works really nice and happy with that, so I guess you get what you pay for.
