Scar removal?

How much would it cost for some kind of scar removal surgery on my chest, and does it hurt at all? Does it work?


I have never had any kind of surgery so I can't offer any personal experiences, but I found a site that has a lot of information that I'm sure would help you. There are a lot of things that factor into the cost and it may vary depending on what the doctor charge. You should check with you insurance to see if they cover any of the expenses.

Product Details

  • Evens skin tone, minimizing areas of discoloration

Product Description

Level 1) Glycolic/35, Lactic/35, Salicylic/20

Level 2) Glycolac/60, Lactic/50 - Twice as strong as L1

Level 3) Glycolic/50, Lactic/70, BHA+, HQ+ - Twice as strong as L2

Choosing a Peel:

Glycolic: stimulates collagen growth more effectively than any of the other peels. It's small molecule allows it to slip beneath the epidermis to reach the collagen fibers below and results in 15%-25%  thickening over 12 weeks. Glycolic acid generally causes little or no visible peeling.

Lactic: works on the surface of the skin to treat tone, texture, and pigmentation. The Lactic acid molecule works to pull moisture into the cells, and exfoliate surface cells which helps to perfect the skin's surface and restore the skin's natural glow.

Glycolac: With a combination of Glycolic (25%) with Lactic (35%), it provides hydration and tone improvements of the Lactic, with the increased collagen stimulation of the glycolic. It is generally well tolerated because the lactic and glycolic work on different levels or the skin.

Salicylic: a great kertolytic which means it helps loosen the bonds between skin cells to promote exfoliating. It is the only hydroxy acid which is oil soluble which allows it to penetrate into clogged pores. It can be used more frequently than the other peels without must risk for irritation.

BHA+: Hands down the best peel for acne and oily skin. You should expect some visible flaking of the skin 2 days after using the peel. This will help with active acne blemishes as well as old acne marks, and a variety of other skin problems.

HQ+: This peel is best for pigmentation and acne scarring. Similar to our BHA+ peel, with added ingredients which to help to fade pigmentation differences and even skin tone. If you suffer from old acne marks, age spots, or melasma, this peel will be the most effective in helping you.


Customer Reviews

Nice Product and waaay cheaper than the professionals
I decided to order this product after spending way too much money on professional chemical peels. The product is exactly what I wanted. I have had some very light peeling and i feel like my skin has improved after a couple weeks of use. Hopefully, it will continue to as time goes on. my only issue with this product is the unclear directions. There are multiple places where the information on application frequency varies.
Unsure
Firstly, I'd like to make it clear that while I have a few small zits consistently, my acne is not that bad compared to some of the other reviews. This may be why the acid hasn't worked well on my skin yet. I want to use it because i have random blotchy darker spots all over my face and a lot of acne scarring and blackheads and whiteheads galore. I've used this peel four times over the course of a month. All that's happened is that my nose has gotten flaky and i got two random dry patches on my cheeks. My blackheads seem to be more pronounced but i think it's because they're closer to the surface due to the peeling of my nose. Hopefully with continued use, I will see better results. I shall update when i do!
Acne since Highschool, Significantly improved skin
I had very oily skin, especially my nose. Before using Salicylic Acid (SA), I was using Neutrogena's acne gel to reduce acne and make my skin dryer. I've also tried other brands of acne gel with benzoyl peroxide, but they didn't really work. In addition to acne gel, I've tried facial cleaning product from Clean and Clear and the Walmart brand benzoyl peroxide cleaning pads.

I've gone to a dermatologist and she told me to clean my face daily and just use the general acne treatment products and I would be fine. Unfortunately, I wasn't very good at keeping up with these routines and I even thought about getting an operation to reduce the size of my pores. That didn't happen due to the expanse.

Finally, I came across Amazon and found this product and read the reviews. At first I tried to follow the instruction to apply the acid on cosmetic pad and then my skin, wait for a few minutes and wash it off. However, it worked better for me when I just applied it directly on my skin.

For the first minute or 2, after direct application on my nose, I felt a slightly burning sensation and my skin turned a little red. However, after 5 minutes or more the acid is neutralized and I could see immediate improvement on my skin, smoother and the redness was gone. I didn't even have to wash it off.

In addition to this product, I washed my face with warm water to open up my pores and then I used Neutrogena's pore refining toner to reduce the size of my pores and to clear old skin. I applied the gel peel on top of the dried skin toner.

Instead of using acne gel, I used Neutrogena's Rapid Clear Oil-Eliminating Foaming Cleanser to keep my skin dryer. Depending on the condition of my skin, sometimes I would only use the skin toner and not the peeling gel. However, when I saw mild inflammation from acne, I would use both. The oil cleanser should not be used twice, it would really dry up my skin and irritated it.

In conclusion, I've listened to many stories and tried many different products to make my nose not look like Rudolf the Reindeer. For my skin, the key was to reduce the oily condition and the size of my pores. It was the combination of skin oil and dust that clogged up my pores and caused acne. With the help from Neutrogena's pore refining skin toner, oil-eliminating cleanser, and Skin Laboratory's gel peel, my skin looked a lot smoother and had a healthy glowing feel.


NOTHING...
I bought this product to help even out some redness and solve mild acne. NOTHING...it burned a little after being on for 15 minutes, but once I rinsed I couldn't tell any difference in my skin, nor could I after 2 weeks of using this product every other day! What a scam!
This stuff works!
If there was such a thing as a "magic" acne solution, this would be it. I'm a 26 y/o male and I've been having these outbreaks for awhile now. I've tried Proactive, Natures Cure, everything in the face washing section and nothing has worked until this peel. This product has dramatically decreased breakouts, cleaned and shrunk my pores, and helped my overall skin tone.

If you are a beginner, start off with the 20% solution and buy a skin Neutralized/pH balance. I use cotton balls to apply both the Peel and the Neutralizer.

First week: I applied twice that week giving a few days in between applications. Because I didn't know how my skin would react, I left the Peel on for only 2 minutes (this is plenty for the first few times).

Second week and On: I began increasing the time by 2 minutes every so often. Now I'm at 8 minutes per peel and still only using it twice per week.

This chemical peel is a remarkable product that is worth the time, money and a little pain.

Product Details

  • Recommended by plastic surgeons and burn centers

Product Description

ScarAway™ helps restore raised and discolored scars to a more natural color and texture, using the same technology trusted by burn centers and plastic surgeons. Using ScarAway on newly healed wounds helps prevent the formation of unsightly scars. Even scars that are years old from burns, surgical procedures and injuries show significant improvement with ScarAway. Previously available only to medical professionals. Now available to you. Made from a patented material that provides a unique combination of breath ability, flexibility, wash ability and adhesiveness, with a silky fabric backing for optimal convenience and comfort, even under clothing! Scar Away comes with 12 reusable 1.5" X 3" silicone scar management sheets. The easy-to-apply self-adhesive sheets can be cut to fit the size of the scar, or worn side-by-side for larger scars. Patented Silon® sheets mimic the natural barrier function of normal, healthy skin, increasing hydration, working to soften scar tissue, reducing it's development and causing it to fade away. So comfortable, you'll forget you're wearing it! ScarAway is the only product to provide the full, recommended 12-week supply of scar sheets in one box. **Why do all silicone scar sheets "compare" themselves to Neosporin® Scar Solution™?** Pfizer held the license to manufacture Scar Solution using Silon® technology for several years. When Johnson & Johnson purchased Pfizer, Inc. in 2006 it was decided to not continue the product. However, demand continued and in 2008, Bio-Med Sciences entered into agreements with Mitchell-Vance Laboratories which now offers ScarAway. Scar Away has larger sheets and significantly improved quality and adhesion.

Customer Reviews

Good service
I received the order quickly. Product was as described. The only complaint is that I can't get the strips to stay on longer than two days and I took it off while showering as directed on the package info. I am allergic to adhesives so using extra tape adds to more scaring. Adhesives from band aids tear my skin up. If you don't have this reaction, then extra tape would do the job. Again, it's not the products fault. I do wish they stayed on better. I used extra tape for as long as I could bare it. A total of about two weeks and it had already started smoothing out the scar. As far as discoloration I don't think I used it long enough to see a difference. I won't be ordering more for myself due to my allergy. However, I may order more for a friend of mine who will be having surgery soon. For me this product was not helpful because of being allergic to adhesives.
Had a reaction, but product was working
I tried using this product for scars from bunion surgery (both feet). I tried to use it for a/b 23 hours a day during first week. I started to notice a difference in the redness of the scars, but unfortunately, I also developed a rash which I assume was a reaction to the silicone. I discontinued using the strips and am letting the rash heal. Once it is gone, I plan to try the strips again, but this time for shorter periods of time. The strips were definitely having a positive effect on the scars and also provided some protection from shoes rubbing that sensitive area of my feet. I'm hoping the rash will not re-develop if I just use the strips for less time per day.
1 year using this product, It works for me!
I have been using the ScarAway 1.5 x 7" Strips since July 2009. I have 9 surgeries and never found any relieve for the scars. This is an amazing advance in technology. I am a scientist and understand how cells replicate. I use one strip for 6 days a week non stop, I take baths with it, swim "pool" not ocean with it, work out with it, I do it all with it. It stays on pretty good. Everyday I remove it after a bath and wash it with mild soap and re-attach. Once a week I toss them and apply the serum for one night, the next morning I attach a new set of strips. My surgery is very large 16", I tend to form cheloids. The results are amazing, no cheloids so far, no itch, and even the stretch marks are getting better with the " ScarAway Intensive Stretch Mark Therapy" This product is worth every penny. I am very satisfied as the scar has heal and looks like my olds scars looks after 3 years.




These actually work!
I had two moles removed in 2008 and on the doctor's recommendation I ordered a scarfade cream. Worthless. I tried Mederma. Didn't work for me. After a year my scars had turned hypertropic. Red, raised,ugly. Worst of all they're on my chest and one of them shows if I wear a v-neck blouse. What woman wants scars on her chest? I ordered ScarAway after reading that silicone sheets are so effective they're used on burn scars. ScarAway is wonderful! It won't happen overnight, but my 2 year old scars are slowly flattening and fading to white. Both my scars are about an inch long. I cut just enough to fit over the scar. Earlier in the spring when it was still cool I could wear them all day. During hot weather I only wear them at night because if my skin is moist from sweat they don't stay on as well. I don't shower in mine because I do find that it reduces the sticking power. Before I shower I take them off and stick just the ends to the corner of the bathroom sink. After I dry off I put them right back on. I can wear the same ones for over a week by doing this. I'm on my 2nd box and continue to see improvement. Would recommend to anyone.
Week 9
When i first read all of the reviews for ScarAway Silicone Sheets, i was kind of expecting it to be a miracle product. I'm on week number nine. This product does exactly what it claimed to do, and that is that it reduces the size and appearance of scars (with varying results). My keloid scar was raised 1/4', and was 3/4' wide,it had very unsightly lines on it, and was a pinkish reddish color, its on my bicep. After nine weeks it is almost leveled with my skin, it still has the same width, but the color is somewhat even with my skin. I read that the adhesive was very bad and did not last long at all. i didn't experience that at all, but then again i did not wear my bandage on my knee or an area of my body that is subject to high amounts of movement. I wore my sheets to sleep without them falling off, i could have easily gotten ten days out of one sheet instead of the recommended seven. This product will not completely remove your scar, and it takes a very long time for it to work. But it does work, and it is worth the thirty dollars and the twelve weeks. It made my scar more bearable to look at. I'd recommend it. Its VERY IMPORTANT to remember that it will not work overnight, and you will not see dramatic changes fast, it's a very gradual process.

  • Diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production

Product Description

Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from sour milk. Lactic acid helps to eliminate germs, toxins and dead cells from the skin's surface, and also helps to maintain the skin's pH level. Lactic acid occurs naturally in the skin and is a primary component of the skin's natural moisturizing mechanism, making it ideal for individuals wishing to avoid over-drying and skin dehydration. The use of Lactic acid will help to increase skin cell turnover on the surface of the skin, producing smoother-looking and more vibrant skin. In the deeper layers, beneath the skin's surface, new collagen and elastin will be stimulated and the skin will actually become thicker, tighter and more firm. Lactic acid's unique ability to draw moisture toward the surface of the skin makes it ideal for individuals whose skin dries out easily. This treatment also effectively combats acne by killing germs and removing toxins on the surface of the skin and by breaking down the dry, dead, glued-together surface sebum that makes skin look dull and clogs pores. This leaves the skin with a wonderfully smooth and clear complexion. With continued use as directed the skin will look more youthful and vibrant. Amazon limits the amount of information we can display.

Customer Reviews

Actually I am reviewing 88% Lactic Acid
I use this peel (not 50%) actually at 88% raw on my face and leave it on for maybe five minutes then neutralize with wet baking soda. After about 3-4 days my face peels slightly and I see a really fresh glow. I am using to fade dark spots but its also making my face smooth as a baby, no lines whatsoever and I am 49 years old. I would recommend this product, and no I did not even buy my 88% strong peel at Amazon.
NOT FOR AMATEURS!!!
As a licensed esthetician, I am cringing reading the reviews of some of the users of this product.
"Applying and leaving on" "Applying 3 times a week" "Using as a daily exfoliator"
If your not going to seek the advice of your dermatologist or esthetician, please buy a book on Chemical Peels to understand how they work.
Applying more that once every 10 days will thin out your skin and will cause problems down the line. The whole point of "Peeling" is to clear away the old dead skin cells and allow new ones to surface. It takes your skin (depending on age) 20-42 days for brand-new skin cells to work their way up to the surface of the epidermis, if your constantly stripping your damaging your new skin cells. Patience is needed with peels and generally a series of 4-6 are needed depending on your expectations. Always apply spf of 30 or more afterward and before starting with this 50% lactic prime your skin a week before by using 2-5% glycolic wash. And PLEASE seek the advice of your friendly neighborhood dermatologist and/or esthetician before even attempting to peel.
Good luck to you all.
**Oh and regardless of what the manufacturer claims it does not change the "size" of your pores, they may appear smaller because the chemical de-congests the follicle but if you naturally have big pores; this will not shrink them.

Good Stuff!
So far I've used this product about 4 times (every 5 days) and I like it but I don't LOVE it. The very first time I used it I felt like I noticed a difference in my face but after the first use I don't really feel like I see a difference after using this product. But...this instructions did say that you really start to see results after the sixth application. I'm going to continue using this product though because I think it's better to have it than not.

The first time you use it, it's amazing. My mositurizer seemed to sink into my skin deeper, if that makes any sense. I did get little white heads on my face the next day but I think that normal because the same thing happened when I got a facial at the spa. The white heads are very small and not really noticable so don't worry. Plus they go away in like a day or so.
Good Stuff
I'm on my third treatment. I didn't wait the recommended 5 days between treatments as my face is used to harsh abrasive type treatments....I've been waiting 3-4 days between applications.

So far, I have noticeably reduced the redness in my face and I can say it's similar to Proactive in that sense. *Some* of my acne scars have diminished in appearance. Yay!

The first time I applied it with a cotton ball...very lightly and washed it off after only 3 minutes due to reviews about burning. The next two apps I used a gauze pad folded in fours (like the directions suggest) and applied a thicker coat. I left it on for at least 10 minutes both times. Yes, it stung like a sunburn so I just sat in front of a fan...no big deal. It was not very painful at all. Once it's washed off there is no burning what-so-ever.

I'm curious to see how it works over time and will update with more results. I'm especially excited to move on to the level 3 products.

OH! If you order from [...] it's only $16! (Google it just to be sure of the web site.)
Best hand treatment ever!
Lactic Acid 50% Gel Peel, 30ml (Professional)I have spent a fortune on expensive hand creams that don't really smooth skin on my hands.... I got lactic acid for exfoliating skin on my face and decided to try it on my hands. I had read somewhere that milk maids of old had beautiful hands due to lactc acid and decided it couldn't hurt to try. WOW!!! My hands looked so much better after one treatment. The small bottle has enough for several treatments at half the price of expensive hand cream. It also fades age spots and freckles. The peeling action on hands reveals really smooth skin that is silky soft. I'll keep using this...no more expensive hand treatments for me!

Customer Reviews

Professional Quality Silicone Patches Worked Very well. Easy on and off
ScarAway has worked very well on a few scars for me (I tend to get keloids and thick scars on almost every nic and cut).. It really helps break down the scar tissue, heal it up well and fade the color. I also gets rid of the hard feeling of the scar tissue. Easy to put on and comes off without hurting. Thin and inconspicous on the skin. I tried other brands that were really expensive and too thick with a weird patterning on the gel which called attention to the scars which was not what I wanted. I bought the first ScarAway at Walgreens and just reordered here at Amazon.com...interesting, the box is different online and in stores and it comes in a 2 month or a 12 week supply box, but the one I used called is ScarAway professional grade silicone scar sheets and are only 22.99 or 29.99 depending on which count you buy and they both come with a case to keep it in which the other brand did not either. So a great deal for a high quality product.
My Scar Practically Disappeared
I used this item on a new surgical scar on advise of my doctor. My surgical scar healed so quickly and the lumpy red texture has subsided completely. The color faded to match my skin which is great. Even I can barely see the incision site. At my follow up, my doctor commented that the incision looked like what he would expect it to look like afetr about 12 months of healing when it had only been 10 weeks. ScarAway was effective and easy to use. I am very pleased.

Mederma For example, was not posted in a scar removal cream is very popular with onion extract to improve the appearance of the scar, and showed no benefit in lubricating oil. Several studies show that onion extract gel did not improve the appearance of the scar of Vaseline - Base ointment. A site for Dermatology advises the doctor to tell their patients that the use of this product probably nothing wrong, but no improvement in both.This applies to the other aforementioned products addressing a scar home treatment.
