Tt Scar Treatments?

Hey all, what are the different types of scar treatments have you tried?

I know the silicon strips are supposed to work well, but it seems really expensive. (Although I just found out they aren't one-time use haha)

Any cheap things that helped you heal up faster and with minimal scarring?

My scars healed really fast and look really good at 6 weeks out. Very happy about that. My ps said to just keep them lotioned up rea.ly well. I was surprised he didn't give me anything special like you're talking about. The woman who did my massages in his office also said to just keep them lotioned up. She said she used vitamin E oil and cocoa butter. I bought some cocoa butter with vitamin E and I've been applying that daily. I k ow they could have sold me a boatload of expensive products, because I saw them in his office, but they never pushed it. He really did a nice job on my incision lines. The si.icon strios you're referring to are what most people use if they are worried about their incsions not healing nicely. Good luck!!,

Hi

Wait till the scab appears and put vit E oil on the scar.
