Use DermaHeal to treat scars that have already turned keloids or hypertrophic . When used early before problem scarring occurs, DermaHeal may also be used as a measure to prevent against problem scarring from ever occurring. Start using DermaHeal silicone sheets on lesions about two weeks after a surgical procedure or when the wound bed is dry. This can not only prevent problem scarring but will probably leave a more aesthetic looking scar than if DermaHeal was not used. Using Hyper-heal cream (link) in combination with DermaHeal silicone sheets can produce an almost scarless effect. Using DermaHeal early on also may prevent hypo-pigmentation (white line) as well as hyper-pigmentation (dark line).
