BEFOREspa AFTER
On March 20th, 2005, I was in a plane crash. My injuries included severe scars on my forehead. A friend of mine who is an RN asked a doctor about a product for scars. The doctor recommended Mederma, and I have used it from the first week until now. I am 42 and was concerned that I would be stuck with ugly scars, but I was very pleasantly surprised in a short time at the wonderful results. When people hear my story, they look at my forehead and can’t believe that I was in a plane crash. The pictures I have included are before & after Mederma, taken about seven months apart. I am in nursing school myself, and I am sure I will recommend your product to patients. Thank you again!

I was in my bathroom, and I tripped and hit my head on the closet door. There was a rack of shoes hanging on the back of the door, and I scratched my forehead on one of my high heels. It was a pretty big scar and very noticeable. I put Mederma on it every day, and now you can barely see it. Thank you Mederma! Now I feel like people are paying attention to me and not the scar on my forehead.

I recently took a nasty spill down my front stairs. As a result, I scraped my knee and legs. After they healed, I was left with some rather noticeable scars. Then I learned about Mederma through a television commercial. I have been using Mederma for only three weeks, and my scars are almost invisible. Thank you!

My 4-year old was running on gravel and fell on her face. Her forehead and the area surrounding her left eye were scraped. I feared it would result in significant scarring. I found Mederma in a drugstore and started applying it as soon as the wound healed. It's been only a week, and I can hardly see anything on my daughter's face. It's quite an amazing product!

My 8-year-old has you to thank for a scarless face. She took a tumble on our driveway and scraped her forehead, nose, lip and chin. I didn’t want it to leave a scar. I remembered seeing your commercial, so I rushed out and bought your product. We religiously applied Mederma, morning, noon and night. We took pictures of her face from day one, and as each day passed, we saw drastic improvement. We are happy to report that her face is now scar-free, something I didn't think would be possible with the extent of her injury.

In April of this year, I was in a life threatening boating accident. I broke every bone in my face and had numerous cuts requiring stitches over a good portion of my body. Once the stitches were removed, my Mom started putting Mederma on the scars. I could not believe how quickly they started to disappear. I am not uncomfortable going out in public anymore. Every day I notice that the scars are becoming less and less visible. Thank you for your amazing product.

My wife brought Mederma home about four months ago to use on her new surgical scar. I was very skeptical that an over the counter product would have any effect on her new scar, much less on one of my old scars. I was wrong! This product works just as claimed. I began using it on a scar on my chin from 20 years ago. I was shocked. Within a few days, it was softer. Within two weeks it was getting flatter. I have recommended Mederma many times already and will continue to do so. Thank you so much!

I had a huge gash on my forehead a few years back that required stitches. After the wound healed, the scar made me feel self-conscious. I wanted something to help make it less apparent. Mederma did the trick! My family and I were amazed by how much better my scar got from using this product.

My 9-year-old daughter was in my brother’s back yard playing with his Saint Bernard, when the dog knocked her down and severely scratched her face. We had to rush her in an ambulance to the ER where she received 62 stitches. But thanks to Mederma, her cheek has a less visible scar. The before and after pictures are amazing.

I was a real tomboy as a kid, so I have multiple scars. I have not been able to wear shorts, swim suits or skirts because I’m embarrassed to show my skin. I was introduced to Mederma by a friend who used it for stretch marks. I decided to give it a try, and I have not been disappointed. There is a significant difference in the appearance of my scars. I will continue to use Mederma until the last scar completely disappears.

In July, 2003, I was working undercover as a police officer. A suspect tried to get away, and I got caught on his vehicle. He dragged me several feet. The scars on my right leg were horrible. But thanks to Mederma, I can wear shorts, skirts and bikinis again! If you looked at the before and after photos, you would be amazed. Mederma was a lifesaver.

Last year I had this awful scrape on my face that left a scar. I immediately got Mederma, and in two weeks, there were no visible signs of my scar. Thanks, Mederma.

Back in February, my daughter fell on a coffee table and had to get 17 stitches in her forehead. She had a good-sized scar after the stitches came out – about two or three inches long. Fortunately, a friend recommended Mederma for Kids. Mederma for Kids has reduced the appearance of the scar so much that you can barely see it. It was quite red and swollen, but after three applications a day, it has nearly disappeared. It is a wonderful product that I would recommend to any parent.

On March 11, 2006 I was bitten on the face by a dog. After removing the stitches five days later I was in need of a healing agent for the scar left behind.

I had heard about Mederma, and my immediate response was to try the product. I have been using Mederma for over a week now and I have already noticed a considerable difference in the depth of the scar. I just want to say that this product is absolutely worth trying. Thank you to the team who helped make this healing agent for scars available.

Around the first of February I slipped on ice and split my head open. My wife took me to our family doctor. After taking a look at the gash, my doctor suggested I go to the hospital to have a plastic surgeon look at it, but with my health insurance, I figured I couldn't afford to do that. So I told the doctor to start stitching. When I left his office, I looked like Frankenstein, with17 stitches running from my hairline to just below my eyebrow.

The doctor told me to expect a rather large scar, so my wife went to the pharmacy. They recommended that I use Mederma four times a day. And after six weeks the scar is barely visible. I will recommend Mederma to everyone I know who has a scar to heal. Thank you, thank you, and thank you again.

About 5 months ago, I got a deep scratch just below my neck from a cat. The timing was unfortunate, as I was about to go on job interviews after finishing graduate school; the unsightly scar would have been visible in interview attire. I decided to try a topical product to reduce scarring. I chose Mederma because no other product had such a pure concentration of the active ingredients.

I am thrilled with the results! Since I started using Mederma, the scar has gotten about 75% smaller and softer, and the color matches the surrounding skin again. No one would be able to tell that I had been scratched there unless I pointed it out. I had nothing to hide on my job interviews! I recommend your product wholeheartedly, and I am very grateful to your company for developing it. Thank you so much.

In September 1997, I was bitten in the face by a German Sheppard. The wounds were severe, and my lower lip was ripped completely through. I had four surgeries, performed by an Indianapolis plastic/reconstructive surgeon. He gave me Mederma, which I used faithfully for months.

Where I once had bright scars that made me self-conscious and unable to make eye contact with strangers, I now have a nearly flawless face. I am not at all self-conscious about the faint, barely-there scars from the past.

I have tried a lot of new products over the years but never has one worked so well as Mederma! I had a bad fall in September, cracked two ribs and injured my lower left leg, leaving a terrible, big scar. Since using Mederma (January 1, 2003) I have seen amazing results. The scar is softer and smoother and it looks even smaller now. Thanks so much for making a great product that works! Who knows by Spring I might be able to wear shorts again!
