A member asked:
Can silicon gel sheets fade the appearance of scars from laser tattoo removal? (the scar is about 3 years old).
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No evidence: These have not been shown to be particularly effective for scar reduction. Try Mederma, Vitamin D, or consultation with a cosmetic dermatologist, or plastic surgeon.
