When do you start applying scarzone or mederma after delivery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scar treatment: You should apply a medical tape such as medpor to your scars if possible, starting right away. If not possible to tape or after 4 weeks you can start massaging the scars firmly and using silicone-based scar creams or silicone sheeting. Most scar creams are anecdotal but the silicone based treatments seem best. If scars are unsatisfactory, sometimes fractional laser treatment will help.
