Molnlycke Mepiform Self-adherent Silicone Dressing 4" x 7", Single Sheet Review

Molnlycke Mepiform Self-adherent Silicone Dressing 4' x 7', Single Sheet
Average Reviews:

I've tried these Mepiform pads, the Cica Care pads, and the Scar Away pads on my facial scar on a curvy part of my face.Because of the curviness and oiliness of my skin, I have trouble getting pads to stick for a whole day.The mepiform pads are aesthetically best because they are thinnest, the color matches my slightly tanned caucasian skin best, and the cut edges are neat.The scar away pads on the other hand have a shiny fabric texture that looks unnatural, are thicker, don't conform as well to the skin, and don't stick as well.Definitely go with the Mepiform pads over Scar Away, unless you really need to save money.

But when I'm doing active things that will make me sweat, the Mepiform pads don't stay on reliably so I use Band Aid Active Healing hydrocolloid pads instead (not made for scar treatment, but I think they have the same moisturizing effect that improves scar healing, and they hide the scar well).The Band aid products stick the best of any product I've tried, even when I sweat, but they are not as breathable so my skin gets irritated wearing them long term.

The cica care pads also stick much better than the mepiform pads, so I use them when I'm at home.They conform much better to curvy body parts, and I think the gel pulls up sunken scars better.But the Mepiform moisturize a bit more than Cica Care, which probably prevents keloids better.

With all these pads be aware that how the retailer stores them is important; I ordered my mepiform pads from a different online retailer and they sent me a sheet that already had big air bubbles underneath, and which didn't stick well.Another pad from the same warehouse had the same issue.But finally they sent me a mepiform pad from the same lot but from a different warehouse, and it had good sticky adhesive.I suspect the one warehouse either stored them too long or too hot.

Overall if you're going to use just one scar pad for all situations, I'd go with the Mepiform, which is also probably best for reducing keloids.The Cica Care pads last longer, stick longer, and may raise sunken scars better, but are more prone to being knocked off when something brushes up against them, and they are ugly.I use the Mepiform pads when I'm in public, and the Cica Care pads when I'm at home.

My 5 y.o. daughter was attacked by a neighbors german shepherd several months ago. She sustained multiple bites to the right side of her face and left side of her throat/neck.After nearly 3 hours of reconstructive plastic surgery, she was left with a total of 14 cm of lacerated/sutured tissue. Obviously, I'm determined to do everything possible to minimize the scarring.Hours of extensive research online revealed that silicone products are the best for prevention/minimization of scar tissue. Cica Care is easy to use & take care of.(Wash with soap & water, and it can bereused..) It is comfortable for my daughter to wear, and it has even reduced the discomfort usually associated with scar tissue.She wears the patches @ night, and a liquid silicone product during the daytime.We are thrilled with the results so far! This is an amazing product & although it is expensive, to us it is priceless.

I tried the silicone discs and was not satisfied with the performance. I had several moles removed from my neck which left noticable scars. I used the discs which really did not perform as stated from the reviews I read. Not only did these not work but the tape rarely held in place overnight. I actually had great results using just the rejuveness scar cream which reduced the redness from the scars.

Scar Fx Silicone Scar Therapy, Size Of Patch 1" X 22", 1 Patch Review

Scar Fx Silicone Scar Therapy, Size Of Patch 1' X 22', 1 Patch

I had surgery which left scars from hip to hip and armpit to arm pit.The lower line had several infections and busted open a few times.The upper line is broken and disjoint and includes several very rough areas that are raised and sore.

All in all, my skin is a mess!

I really like this 22" silicone strip, it stays thicker and sticks longer than anything else I've tried so far, and I have tried a lot of products.This particular size also performed WAY better than some other sizes from the same manufacturer.And at these prices, I need to have these strips last a while.And I don't want anymore tape on my skin, I was bandaged for weeks (maybe months!) and I am very glad that this strip stays in place on its own.

I put the strip across mt lower incision in the AM, and cut parts of a second strip on the parts of the upper incision where I can get a straight line, like under my arms.I use silicone creams on the areas of the upper scar that I can't cover with a straight line.The creams are expensive so I use sparingly.

In the evening I take a bath and gently peel off the strips, wash in warm soapy water, rinse, and wrap them around a plastic bottle, sticky side down.In the evening I use various scar and stratch mark creams over night.I like to use creams that are not as expensive as silicone in the evening, so I can use a lot of it and let it soak in all around the damaged areas and older surgery scars too.

The areas with the Scar FX strip during the day seem to be healing best, plus the scars are not being irritated all day since the silicone is protecting it from rubs & bumps.

All in all, this is a very good product and I would recommend it to anyone with longb straight scars to heal or fade.Good luck, as you've probably had trouble of your own if you are researching these products.
