           JMM Medical....Active scars may appear to be indented, raised up above the surrounding tissue, feel hard or lumpy, are discolored (red, pink, purple, darker than the normal surrounding tissue).  The unassisted process of maturing this type of scar may take from 1 to 30 years.  Clinical studies indicate that topical silicone preparations such as ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel have been shown to significantly shorten the process of maturing scar tissue in up to 90% of the cases studied.  ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel may be used to reduce the visibility of scars on skin damaged by burns, cuts, abrasions, surgical procedures, acne scars, insect bites and stretch marks.  Noticeable flattening, softening and reduction in redness (erythema) of the scar may be seen in as little as 2 to 3 weeks of use.  When ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel is applied to a scar within 7 to 14 days after a surgery it has been shown to reduce the build up of hypertrophic or Keloid scar tissue.  Consult with your physician before using ScarLess Generation III Topical Gel.
