May help: Silicone sheeting is particularly helpful in reducing/preventing thick, hypertrophic scars. They are usually cut to the size of the scar and placed on the scar every evening to apply constant pressure to the scar. Use on the face may be challenging depending on where the scars are located.

May be helpful: Silicone sheet may be of benefit in reducing scars. They are usually used after the sutures are removed or after the skin cut line is healed.
