To make a long story short, I downloaded and read the ebook cover to cover over 2 days.  Then on the third day I bought all the ingredients I needed and started applying the techniques, including several natural remedies and some massage techniques.  Here are the results:

-After around 10 days, my red scar turned into a noticeably lighter shade of color.
-It kept getting lighter and lighter in color, and after around 6 weeks, I noticed the scar had started getting thinner (i.e. smoother).
-Today, after 4 months in total, you wouldn’t notice my scar anymore unless you stared closely and deliberately looked for it.  The scar area still appears a bit smoother than the surrounding, “normal” skin, but the scar color is so similar to “normal” that it blends in pretty well and isn’t too noticeable at all.

I would divulge the methods here if I could, but because this information is proprietary to “The Scar Solution” ebook, I’d be risking a lawsuit if I did.  All I can say is, get the ebook yourself.  You won’t regret it.  And if by remote chance you did, you could always ask Clickbank for a refund within 60 days, no questions asked.

I do have the following to say about the techniques described in “The Scar Solution”:
-The remedies and techniques described in the ebook are indeed 100% natural and safe, and the author does back them up with scientific proof.
-Aside from remedies, the author teaches effective massage techniques to speed up the scar removal process.
-The author is to the point.  There’s no fluff in the ebook.  Just solid information throughout.
-The ebook claims to be able to eliminate old scars in 3 months.  I found this to be a bit overly optimistic.  I ended up with a greatly-reduced scar after 4 months.  Although it took me longer than expected, and although my scar wasn’t completely eliminated, I’m still satisfied, because you could hardly see my scar now.

I’m REALLY looking forward to wearing bikinis at the beach again this summer!  If you want to check out the ebook “The Scar Solution”, click here to go to the website.  I wish you as much success as I achieved with this ebook.  Highly, highly recommended!

-The ebook describes a complete system for removing old scars and preventing new scars from forming, by using an all-natural, holistic approach.
-The techniques taught by the book are safe, doctor approved, and scientifically proven to be highly effective.
-The procedures can be done at home using mostly stuff that can be bought cheaply at the local grocery store.
-The author was able to get rid of his old scars in just 3 months, and has been helping other people achieve the same results.
-Techniques in this ebook cannot be found anywhere else.

I browsed several plastic surgery / health and beauty forums to see what people have said about “The Scar Solution” ebook.  Apparently, most of the feedback is very positive.  Several people have either greatly reduced or entirely eliminated their scars using the methods in the ebook.  While I was checking out the “The Scar Solution” website, I noticed it was sold through Clickbank.  I looked up Clickbank’s stats for this product, and found the refund rate for this product to be extremely low – only 0.80%.  Less than 1% of the people who bought this ebook has requested for a refund!  This is very low as I’ve read somewhere that most clickbank products have a refund rate of over 5%.  This must say something about the quality of the ebook.

This ebook really sparked my curiosity.  I’m planning to download it and read it tonight to see what the “secret scar removal procedures” are.  At $37, it’s cheaper than the scar removal procedures and products I was describing in my previous post.  I mean, I would sooner risk $37 on an ebook than $350 an hour on laser surgery that may not even work.

And if I’m not happy with what I see, I can always ask for a refund directly from clickbank without even talking to the author.  Clickbank has a 60-day no questions asked refund policy for all products.  So I really have nothing to lose.

If this ebook doesn’t work for me, I’m going to try the silicone sheets I was looking into before.  Some people have experienced very positive results from using them.  I’ll provide an update on my progress later.

Off to download The Scar Solution…

Laser Scar Removal :
-removes the top layer of skin on the scar to expose a more natural-looking layer underneath
-local or general anesthesia is required for this surgery
-risks include hyperpigmentation (dark areas appearing on skin surface), skin irritation, and allergic reactions
–costs $350+/hr x 1 to 3 hours = $350 to $1000+ in total

Dermabrasion:
-involves the use of a rotating brush that removes a layer of the scarred skin (similar to  how sand paper works)
-procedure performed under local anesthetic
-dermabraded area may look shinier than surrounding “normal” skin even after as long as 6 months
-costs $3000-$4000 on average

Scar Creams:
-scar creams aim to reduce scars to make them blend in better with surrounding skin
-many of these creams contain vitamin E and/or onion extract, which are popularly believed to be effective in reducing scars
-unfortunately, most people have found a lot of these creams to be ineffective; for example, I’ve been using Mederma for the past 3 months without any noticeable results
-some cause side effects, for example dryness, itchiness, dermatitis, or photosensitivity
-prices vary widely across different products, from very expensive to inexpensive

Silicone Sheets:
-silicone encourages the production of collagen
-feedback from people that have used silicone sheets are mixed; some people find them very effective while others find them useless
-cheap to buy, but inconvenient to use as you’d need to wear them 24/7 for months before getting results (if any)

I still haven’t decided which one to try first.  I’ll sleep on it and maybe do more research online before deciding.  We’ll see.  Which one do you think I should try?

It’s been 5 years since I’ve had the surgery.  For the first year or so the scar was red, thick, and raised, and itched a lot.  After the first year or so, it became a little bit lighter and flatter, but not by much, although the itching did stop.  At first I was still hopeful that more healing would take place, but the improvements stopped and has stayed that way for the past 3 years or so.

It’s not really bothering me all that much, because the scar isn’t formally in a visible place.  However, I’m only in my late twenties and sometimes I wished I could wear a nice two-piece bathing suit when I go to the beach or the pool, especially since I’ve managed to lose some weight successfully recently.  I’m so tired of having to wear a one-piece just because I’m so self-conscious of that big, red, ugly scar!

I’ve been using Mederma but it doesn’t seem to be working.  I’m currently asking for advice in different online forums on how I can minimize or eliminate my scar.  If you have any advice for me, please feel free to leave them in the comments.  Thanks in advance for your help!
