Here at Rejuvaskin, one of our main concerns is helping people minimize and reduce the appearance of their scars. Scars can hold a lot of emotional baggage for people, and they deserve an effective, efficient way to minimize that pain. Even people who just want to reduce the appearance of their scars for cosmetic reasons need a reliable, simple product that gets the job done without irritation.
In this blog, we’re going to talk about how to get rid of scars, as well as the best scar cream and silicone sheets for scars. If you’re looking for a simple, gentle system that does what it claims to do, you’ve come to the right place.
How To Get Rid of Scars & Minimize Their Appearance
A step-by-step process for healing your scars— so that you barely even notice them.
Step 1 – Let Your Wound Heal Properly
The first step in having a scar heal properly is to make sure the wound heals properly. If you’ve already passed this stage, you’ll need to work with what you have. However, if you have the foresight to consider scar healing when you still have a wound, taking care of that wound properly will make healing your scar much easier. Once your wound has healed, you can move on to step 2.
A few of our top tips for taking care of your healing wound are to:
- Keep the site clean & moistened
- Avoid drinking & smoking
- Avoid high-intensity activities

Step 2 – Use A Scar Healing System Until No More Progress Is Seen
Silicone sheets for scars are widely accepted to be the best treatment currently available. A good scar healing system will include both silicone sheets for scars and a tube of silicone gel for use during the day. This is because we want to keep as much natural moisture in the scar tissue as possible. Our Rejuvaskin Scar Heal Kit also includes medical tape to help you hold your sheeting in place – if necessary.
Step 3 – Targeting Discoloration With Creams
Once you no longer see any more progress with your silicone-only products, it’s time to move on to targeting discoloration. Often, even after the texture of your scar has healed to be flat & smooth, there is often lingering redness and/or hyperpigmentation.
If you’re looking for the best scar cream, our Scar Esthetique Silicone Scar Cream will target the odd coloring of your healed scar to help it lighten up to come closer to matching your natural skin tone.

☾ Use Scar Fx Silicone Scar Sheeting At Night
Our ScarFx silicone sheets for scars were created for use at night. This is a time when your body does the most healing and restructuring – plus, you don’t move around as much. This makes sleep the perfect time to intensify the scar restructuring process by protecting and flattening the scar tissue.
