GoodSense ScarAway Advanced Skincare Silicone Scar Sheets for C-Sections, Reusable Sheets (1.5” x 7”) for Hypertrophic and Keloid Scars from Injury, Burn, Surgery and more, 4 Sheets

Due to health insurance, I had 3 surgeries in the last six months (maximize deductible, etc.). Anyway, I first had bunionectomy surgery on both feet and began using Mederma Advanced after both incisions had closed up which my podiatrist ok'd. Then, I had a tummy tuck (July 2020) which is a bikini line incision. As that incision closed up, I asked that dr if I could also use Mederma Advanced on it because I do believe it was helping my foot scars. My dr said said there is more research behind silicone for scars vs. that product so I went on Amazon and started looking for silicone strips and found these. One thing that is important when shopping is to check the length of the strips. This product had 7-inch strips vs. most other which were 3-inch strips. I've been using the silicone strips for a week on both my feet and my tummy. It was pretty interesting as I saw a marked improvement with my foot scars after the first day. Since my tummy scar is fresh, I haven't noticed a dramatic improvement in one week but all the info. clearly says you need to use these for like 8 weeks for best results so I'll update may review at that time. Please note these strips are very sticky so be careful when removing from their plastic sheets so it doesn't stick on itself. Also, after reading another review, I immediately rinse them and use hand soap when I take them off and put them on the large more durable plastic strip provided in the box. It's very important to keep them clean in between use per the instructions. The first time I had them on in a shower, I used Saran wrap cling plastic to cover them up but the next time I did not because I was short on time. I had no issue with them in the shower or afterwards peeling off. Now, not sure if that'd be true if you do it repeatedly. UPDATE: Included pics. 2-ft shot on 7/20 in dr’s office. Single ft shots taken at home on 8/18 so lighting is different. Haved used for 3-1/2 weeks now. Again, cleaning strips EVERY time after each use is important to maintain the integrity of these strips. Instructions say you can use 1 strip for 2 weeks. At this point, there’s a little nominal curling on the end of a them but they still stick fine and I may be able to use longer than 4 weeks but I may need to trim off some.They do appear to be helping. Will update my review at 8 weeks.

I had a c-section with my second because she was breech and the scar had a "shelf" according to the doctor that would probably always be like that. Basically it stuck out pretty far from the skin, and I hated it and wished it was more flat. My husband bought these for me because I was always saying I wished I could find a way to make it heal a little better. I was skeptical, but I have been using it for about 5 weeks and honestly noticed a difference after two. The results aren't amazing, miracle kind of results, but they are results. The skin seems to have softened so that the scar doesn't stick out as much and blends a little better. I'm going to keep using them to see how much better it gets, but the results are already exciting as every two weeks when I put a new one on, I notice a difference (I have been taking pictures every two weeks because I didn't believe it would help). Basically it feels like the fabric part of a band-aid (the fabric kind obviously), but it sticks surprisingly well. You are supposed to wash/rinse off once a day and wear for at least 12 hours. Normally I take it off to wash it either when I go to bed or take a shower and then I let it sit so it can dry off...and after two weeks the adhesive is actually really great. It feels like nothing is on there, so it doesn't bother me during the day and is honestly easier than applying scar cream several times a day (I never remember to do that). I have noticed the scar itching a little but I think that's just like when it was healing and just makes me remember that it works! I started using this when my daughter was about 4.5 months and really believe that if I had started as soon as I could apply scar creams it would have even worked better. DEFINITELY recommend to c-section mommies!

Leaving it on for a total of 24hrs at a time (only removing it to take the daily shower), for at least 4 weeks. I think you will be able to see a HUGE difference. That 12 hours they advise on the package for me is just to make sure you keep buying them. The longer it's on your skin at a time, the better. It is soft breathable material, so your scar is not suffocating under it. I read that the early version of this same product had on the box to leave it on for 2-3 days at a time. And some people still use this new version that way, as long as it doesn't come off when they shower. It will also work better if the scar is less than a year old. Other wise, it'll take double the amount of time to see noticeable change, but it would still work. I have a scar that is over 15 years old, and I only started using this for my new scar (5 inch tattoo job gone wrong). I'm one of those people who bruises easily, and scars just as easily. After using these for 2 weeks on my new scar, I was floored by the change i saw. My old scar is getting lighter and less sensitive, and i know with continuous use they will fade even more. Good luck to you all, as i know so well how scars impacts self-confidence.

I have had impressive results with these. My husband and I have both used them and both agreed that these work fantastic. I have a C-section scar due to an unethical doctor John Milton Hutson who I strongly recommend you stay away from —who did it just because he could, at New York Presbyterian Weill Cornell labor and delivery. My husband has a scar from Moh’s surgery on his foot. He also used it on his upper arm where he burned himself on a hot iron griddle. For me on my abdomen, the strips adhere perfectly until I remove them or get them wet. I recommend taking them off to bathe or to shower. My scar healed really nicely on one side. I tend to carry my baby on one side and I wonder if that has anything to do with how the scar healed. The point is that on one side this car has disappeared to the point where it blends in with my skin and is nearly invisible. I’m 9.5 months out. I waited several months before ordering these and I don’t wear them all the time so given the effort I am very happy and I think they last a long time. The box says that they are washable and you just hang them up to dry when you’re done but we do not find it they wash that easily. Since my husband’s scars are on parts of his body that he moves a lot or there is a lot of friction he needs to replace his much more often. So far we have re ordered once or twice I think that if you’re diligent about keeping the strip all and are very keen to get rid of your scar you might have excellent results as we have I still need to get rid of the remaining 2/3 of the c-section scar. It appears to work a little less well on the keloid variety or once the hard scar tissue has set in. I’m still inside the one year mark and I think that I can continue to get some pretty impressive results if I keep at it.

I have mixed reviews about these strips. The fit of the strip is excellent for c-sections, so that is a plus. They also seem well made, they don't irritate my skin and they are easy to clean. The directions in the package are clear and easy to follow. Things that I don't like are that one strip is meant to be worn for 2 weeks (with washing daily). But, by the time you get to day 9 or 10, the strip seems worn out. It peels away from my skin as soon as I put on my clothes and then becomes annoying. The directions say that the "stickiness" has no effect on the effectiveness, but even if that is true, it's still creates an uncomfortable feeling. As for effectiveness, I am still on the fence. My scar doesn't look bad, but I can't tell if it is fading. It definitely hasn't gotten worse or turned into a keloid scar, so that is a plus! I will need to continue these for at least another cycle to say if they truly work.

After reading lots of reviews, I purchased these for my upcoming c-section. Baby born 8/19 and was allowed to start using these 2 weeks post-op. So I started using these Sept 1st. (I will update this review after using for about 8 weeks). So far, hard to tell if they are working, or Im just healing well. But, scar is definately not purple or red at all, as some healing scars turn. Its light pink and healing very well. The strips are also a nice barrier and cushion against clothing. I followed other's reviews and use 2 strips and rotate them since you need to soap and wash the once/day then dry. Comes with a drying strip to lay it flat on. So I use one for a full day until shower, then after shower, use the other dry one. Its only been 1.5 weeks, but I feel like its healing well after Googling c-section scars and seeing people post-op incisions. For the price, I am very happy with these strips so far and can't wait to see full results. For the price, I would recommend these to any new momma who had a c-section, worried about scaring. Ill update after 8 full weeks of use. Good luck! :) 10/22/13 update: 100% happy and impressed with my results! My scar is very thin and flat. It has healed without any keloiding. I did massage it quite a bit to facilitate healing, but these strips are definately worth the investment. As women, lets face it, we are vain, and they are a small price to pay to help your scar heal the best it can. I will be buying a 2nd box to continue use past the 8 weeks so my scar can look the best it can. Highly recommend to my fellow c-section mommas out there.

I have had three c-sections. In the first one, I developed a very large keloid. It was awful. The second time around, I decided I would use these strips, but I didn't start using them until about 6 weeks after my c-section and it wasn't everyday. I also stopped using them around 6-months post-operation. My keloid from my second c-section was smaller, but it was still much larger and uglier that I wanted. Then, when I went in for my third c-section, I asked my doctor what I could do better this time around and he said that I should use these c-section scar strips, but that I have to start right after I get home from the hospital and that I need to wear them everyday, 24/7. This was our last child, so I wanted to do it right this time. The only time I take the strip off is when I'm showering or jumping in the pool. It has been 11 months now post-op, and I can definitively say that these things work!!! My keloid is MUCH SMALLER AND FLATTER than the previous two c-section scars. I wish I had taken photos to compare. I am truly so amazed and happy! I can also tell that my scar continues to get better as time is passing. This was such a good investment in my time/money. I'm still wearing the strips... and plan to for another few months and then start to wean off of them when my baby is about 15 months old. These strips really work, but you must use them 24/7 and for at least 6-12 months...even longer if you are prone to developing bad keloids.

I used scar away after my breast lift surgery, which leaves a scar right down the middle of the breast. I used it for 12 weeks. The scar is barely detectable. You have to look really hard to see where the line actually is. I am VERY happy with the results. I just had arm lift surgery which leaves a scar all the way from elbow to underarm. I started applying the strips 10 days after surgery. Today is 4 weeks post op and the scars are already barely visible. I will wear the strips the entire 12 weeks. They are amazing! Expensive, but really worth it. Oh and they say the strips last 14 days, but NO WAY. They last about 5 days and then you have to use paper tape to keep the strips in place. They still work, but the tape is a pain.

Started using it 3 weeks after the surgery and it has made my belly scar almost invisible.

Great product. Will but again soon

I wish I bought this sooner. My scar was thick, red and still very painful 9 months after my section. I thought I’d try this and I’m so happy I did. The strip protected the scar, stopping it itching or being irritated under clothes, it was worth buying for this alone. I put the strip on in the morning and wash it every night with hand soap and let it dry. I massage in silicone gel at bedtime as well. I have definitely noticed the colour fading and scar flattening and even disappearing in places just a month and a half into using these strips. I have now ordered another pack and will continue with this combination of gel for nighttime and strips in the day.

Es la mejor de su línea compren está dura.mas sé pega mejor , e probado la verde no funciona igual ,está pega bien , se debe de lavar la erida y también lavar la banda cada vez que se hacer deje secar bien en el plástico que trae para guardar ,nunca despegue la banda una vez puesta con eso le durará los 10 días , alternelo con una crema para heridas

Las estoy probando para una crearía y va muy bien. Se pega sin problemas.. la puedes lavar y con la banda de plástico que viene en la caja se seca enseguida y puedes volver a ponerla
