I was introduced to this product by Dr. Kaufmann at St. John’s Hospital in Warren, MI in 1998 after I was involved in a car accident. I required sutures in my forehead and was afraid of being scarred for life. I used the product as instructed. Unless I point the scar out to you, you would never know it was there!!!
