Mederma removed teeth marks from my Iguana.
Written: Aug 25 '01
Pros:Easy to apply,not greasy,no odor.
Cons:Expensive,but worth the price.
The Bottom Line: There is nothing that will completely remove scars except surgery, but Mederma will help make them less noticeable.
About 5 years ago, I was bitten by my Iguana while I was trying to keep her from biting my smaller Iguana.
My shirt got caught on a tree branch that was in their cage and instead of her taking a chunk out of the little one, she bit me on the end of my nose, leaving me with a perfect outline of her teeth.
It left me with a very noticeable scar that looked horrible.
I tried every coverup, makeup, and lotion
that I could buy.
This only cost a lot of money with no improvement to the looks of this scar.
I also tried the new Curad Scar Therapy
with the cosmetic pads that you stick over the scar and leave on for at least 24 hours.
The only thing this did was to end up either stuck somewhere else or end up stuck to my bed and who wants to walk around with tape stuck to their nose.
As for removing the scar, after 2 weeks nothing happen.
A friend told me about "Mederma", so I decided to give this my last try to at least make this scar less noticeable.
I knew there was nothing that would permanently remove this, but I had hoped this product would at least tone it down a little.
I was very surprised that after using "Mederma" for almost 4 weeks that no only did my scar loose the discoloration, but it looked softer and smoother which helped to make this scar fade to the point that now you can only see a trace of the outline.
The skin around my scar has raised up to the point that it matches my other skin, making it look even and less indented which makes it look less noticeable.
Mederma is a gel that is rubbed on 4 times a day.
This gel is not greasy or does not cake up.
As you rub this in, it will completely disappear.
Mederma's main ingredient is "Cepalin"
Cepalin is an extract made from onions.
Onion Extract is a natural anti-oxident that has been shown to inhibit the production of fibroblasts, cells that contribute to scar formation.
This extract can help to improve the color,
contour, and overall appearance of scars.
Other ingredients of Mederma are water, xanthan gum, which makes the gel consistency,
allantoin,fragrance,methylparaben, and sorbic acid.
This product can be used by everyone, including children.
The only caution that are stated is the possibility of severe itching or swelling.
If this should happen you are to discontinue using Mederma.
Mederma also has a money back guarantee, that if you are not satisfied with the results and if there is no improvement, you may return this product and get a full refund of the purchase price.
I plan on using Mederma for the entire recommended time, 3-6 months as I believe this product is helping to remove the scar I have as it has already improved from just 4 weeks of using.
I recommend this product to anyone who has any kind of a scar, new or old, any stretch marks, burns, acne, etc.
If it made my scar softer and smoother with less of an indented area, it can help improve any scar for almost everyone.
Scars can be very embarrassing to people who have them and if there is a product that will help, this is the one that I prefer no matter how expensive it is to buy.
