I have several old scars that I really want to make less visible. Some are long and white, and one is short and reddish. All are a little raised up. Does anyone have experience using mederma on these types of scars? Also has anyone tried it on stretch marks? And do the generic brands work as well? Thanks a lot!

I've tried it and YES it works. The raised scars are minimized and the white scars are dulled. You need to use it consistently not sporadically or you will NOT benefit from it to its fullest potential. Good luck.

Mederma can work on older scars but the key is to apply it 3-4 times a day. The more often you use the treatment, the more likely you are to see results. With regards to stretch marks, Mederma will only work on the new red ones. Once they turn silvery white, it's really hard to get rid of them. Mederma does help flatten the raised scars so they are more in line with your skin. I work with the brand and would be happy to send you a sample.

I don't know yet - just started using it. I've been using it about two weeks and haven't really noticed any difference yet - but it does say use for 3 months - so I guess time will tell.
