Scarguard Instructions

Many of us have acquired scars from our childhood to adulthood, some of varying color and size. While we're lucky that some scars fade on their own with time, others needs help from products on the market designed to fade or eliminate scarring altogether. According to Scarguard.com, Scarguard is a liquid product that forms a clear, protective layer over a scar "while delivering hydrocortisone, vitamin E and silicone, all known to help reduce scar tissue."

Instructions

  1. Raised Scar

    • 1

      Wash scarred area with soap and water. Pat dry.

    • 2

      Brush Scarguard MD gel onto scarred area twice daily.

    • 3

      Allow it to dry for 1 minute before covering with clothing.

    • 4

      Peel off layer of skin from scar if it is already peeling. If it's not, do not attempt peeling. This is because the peeling layer of scar is actually dead skin disconnecting from the live tissue. Applying Scarguard MD gel on top of dead skin is not going to effectively treat the scar tissue that is beneath the peeling layers; however, forcing the scar to peel may only be counterproductive because it can cause even more scarring.
