Frequently asked questions
What does Mederma Advanced Scar Gel do?
It helps improve the appearance of scars by hydrating and conditioning the skin, helping improve texture, and helping visibly reduce redness so the scar can blend more naturally with the surrounding skin. It is formulated with the botanical extract Cepalin.
What kinds of scars can it be used on?
It is intended for scars caused by acne, burns, injuries, surgery, and cuts, scrapes or stitches. The scar should be fully healed before you start using the gel.
How long does Mederma take to work?
Improving the appearance of a scar is gradual. Use the gel regularly each day over several weeks to months; results vary from person to person depending on the scar.
Does Mederma remove scars completely?
No. It is a cosmetic gel that helps improve the appearance, texture and redness of scars rather than removing them. Older or deeper scars may show less change.
Can I use Mederma on a fresh wound?
No. Only apply it once the wound has fully healed and the skin is intact. Do not use it on open wounds, broken skin or active infections.
Safety and storage
- For external use on healed, intact skin only. Do not apply to open wounds, broken skin or infections, and avoid the eyes.
- Stop using if irritation occurs and speak to your pharmacist.
- Ask your pharmacist before use if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or unsure whether it is suitable.
- Store away from direct sunlight, keep out of the reach of children, and do not use after the expiry date.
