Because healing processes vary, even a perfect wound closure performed by a skilled physician can result in a scar. In certain patients, scars can become raised, reddened and firm.

Scars are a natural result of the human body’s process of healing itself from trauma to the skin. When the skin is broken or cut, the body responds by producing Collagen (a naturally occurring protein) to heal the injured area. Often times the body will overproduce Collagen, creating a buildup. When this happens, the result… Read more »

For those unfamiliar with our product, you may be wondering what makes ScarFade unique and how well it works. The short answer is ScarFade is an undiluted silicone product that works very well to reduce scars.
Being burned with boiling water on October 25, over approximately 5 inches of my lower torso, was not only painful but left a very ugly reminder. I heard about ScarFade scar cream shortly after Thanksgiving and ordered my tube to start decreasing the appearance of my scar in early December. Shipping was immediate and I started the regimen. After the first few weeks, the redness and discoloration was so significant, I had to take pictures for comparison so I could be sure my recollection of the original scar was as bad as it was comparatively! The size was significantly decreased, the coloring lightened and overall appearance less noticeable. Mine looks great – way better than I imagined after only three short months! THANK YOU SCARFADE! In fact, the results were so amazing, I only needed half the tube! I gave the remainder to my mother, who has a scar from this Thanksgiving where a crystal platter fell off a shelf onto her forehead (several stitches, a cold turkey and very noticeable facial scar later…). She just began the regimen and we can’t wait to see the results!
