What scar product would you recommend to use to avoid scars after injury?

Sorry, won't work...: There is no way to prevent or avoid scars after injury, but there are measures you can take to make the scar as good as possible. Avoid sunburn or suntanning the scar for as long as there is any pinkness in the scar--this may take 6-12 months. If the scar looks like it is becoming more prominent after 6-8 weeks or so, Mederma or silicone sheeting may be helpful.
