3. How does Vanish Scar Gel work?
Vanish Scar Gel is made with a patented silicone gel formula used primarily by hospitals, burn centers, and plastic surgeons. The medical-grade silicone blend hydrates the scar tissue and reduces the collagen overgrowth that caused the scarring. When applied to your skin this premium bio-adhesive gel creates an invisible, protective outer shell while working beneath the surface to diminish your scar's appearance and restore skin to a more natural texture and color.
4. How long does it take to heal my scar?
Two things impact scar removal treatment times:
1) The severity of the scar. The more severe your scar, the longer it will take for the scar to fully heal.
2) The age of the scar: New scars are more easily removed than older scars, so it is always best to start treatment as soon as possible. When we say "older" we specifically mean scars that have been present for more than 2 years.
So how long will treatment actually take?
New/Small Scar: 1-4 months
New/Severe Scar: 3-12 months (depending on severity)
Old/Small Scar: 6-14 months
Old/Severe Scar: 6-24 months (depending on severity)
5. What are the ingredients?
Vanish Scar Gel's primary ingredient is 100% medical grade silicone - the #1 doctor recommended product for scar treatment. We enhanced our patented formula with a proprietary blend of natural ingredients that help speed up the healing process. The blend includes:
100% Medical Grade Silicone
Organic Onion Extract
Organic Royal Jelly
Organic Vitamin C Serum
Organic Soy Extract
Organic Aloe Butter
Organic Grapeseed Extract
Organic Raw Honey
6. Will this help with 10+ year old scars?
Yes, absolutely! Vanish is designed to work with both old and new scars. We suggest using Vanish Scar Gel every morning or night, but it’s safe to use as often as you like.
7. How does this compare with laser removal or scar revision?
Great question. Laser Surgery and Scar Revision surgery are very effective, but can also be very painful and invasive. In severe cases Dr. Aarons sometimes recommends that patients skip using topical scar creams and go directly to surgery, but these surgeries can be costly and painful. In the majority of cases we recommend that patients begin their scar removal journey with Vanish Scar Gel. If after 3-6 months the results aren't satisfactory, it's then time to explore the possibility of surgery.
How do the costs compare?
Laser Surgery: ~$2,700
Scar Revision Surgery: ~$4,000
6 months of Vanish: <$180
For us it's a no-brainer... don't waste money jumping to surgery when your scar can be completely removed with a significantly cheaper, less invasive solution. Try Vanish first!
8. What does "medical-grade" silicone mean?
Medical grade silicone is a class of clinically-tested products designed to interact safely with the human body in a medical setting. The many uses and forms of medical silicone make it difficult to define and classify. But before it can be applied medically, it must pass rigorous FDA standards. Because medical silicone is safe and durable, it can be engineered for short-term or long-term use. Vanish exclusively uses medical-grade silicone in our sca gel. Such items like tubes, dental retainers, implants, respiratory masks, and gel sheets for scar therapy all contain medical grade silicone.
9. Can I use it with makeup / sunscreen / bio oil / scar sheets?
Absolutely! Once applied Vanish Scar Gel rapidly soaks into your skin much like any rapid-drying lotion would. You'll be fine to use makeup, sunscreen, or bio-oil on top of our scar gel about 5 minutes after applying Vanish to the afflicted area.
10. Is Vanish Scar Gel safe for kids and nursing mothers?
Yes! Vanish is safe for all ages and skin types. The primary purpose of our patented blend is to ensure that Vanish doesn't irritate your skin. This was originally intended to ensure victims of severe burns wouldn't feel any additional irritation when the gel is applied. Vanish is clinically proven to be the most gentle over-the-counter scar gel, and is completely safe for any form of sensitive skin.
11. When can I begin using Vanish Scar Gel?
You can begin using Vanish Scar Gel for your scar as soon as your wound is fully healed and there is no more bleeding or scabbing. Generally, it takes about 3 weeks for a wound to fully heal, but this can vary by patient. If you received stitches for your incision or injury, you should wait until they have been removed or have dissolved (if dissolvable stitches were used). For scars that are much older (1-3 years old and older), you may still benefit from using silicone gel on your scars and should start as soon as possible.
