Healing Mohs & Facial Scars
Facial scars like Mohs scars, face lift scars, etc. tend to be some of the most visible— meaning most want to be rid of them as quickly and effectively as possible. Rejûvaskin's Scar Management System is more than up to the task.
What Is Mohs Surgery?
Mohs surgery is considered the most effective surgical technique for treating basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, and occasionally, melanoma. The process involves removing the tumor in layers, allowing the removal of all the cancerous tissue, while sparing most of the surrounding healthy tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of skin cancer does Mohs surgery treat?
Mohs surgery is primarily used to treat Basal Cell Carcinoma and Squamous Cell Carcinoma— 2 of the most common types of skin cancer— with a 99% cure rate, and 94% cure rate for recurrent cases (Leslie & Greenway, 1991).
Occasionally, Mohs is also used to treat very early stages of melanoma, or melanoma in cosmetically sensitive areas, allowing for as much (healthy) tissue preservation as possible.
What is the best treatment option for Mohs scars?
One of the best treatment options for Mohs scars is silicone scar gel! This allows the gel to perfectly contour the irregular shape of the scar (as Mohs scars tend to be), and offers a more discreet way to keep your scar protected.
Silicone in general is hailed as the gold standard of scar healing, creating a gentle, occlusive barrier that locks moisture in— in turn preventing excess collagen production that results in noticeable textured scarring.
How does sun exposure affect facial scars?
Sun exposure can darken scars and make them more noticeable. It's important (especially with facial scars, which see a lot of sun) to protect scars from damaging UV rays with sunscreen or protective clothing to prevent hyperpigmentation.
When can I start treating my Mohs scar?
Like with all silicone scar treatments, you want to wait until your wound is fully closed before starting use. This means your wound is no longer oozing, bleeding, scabbing, etc, which usually take a few weeks.
With Mohs surgery, there are several different ways to close the wound, which may affect the length of this healing time. So before starting scar treatment, make sure to consult your doctor!
How much silicone scar gel should I use?
As we always say, a little goes a long way— especially with smaller scars like those that tend to occur on the face (including Mohs scars). Just a small dollop of RejûvaSil Silicone Scar Gel, no bigger than a pea, should be enough to cover your scar in a thin layer of gel. Allow the gel a few minutes to dry, and reapply 2-3 times a day, as needed for consistent coverage.
Can I use silicone gel and silicone sheeting together?
While some Mohs scars or facial scars are in spots or of a certain shape that makes applying sheeting difficult (in which case a consistent regimen of daily scar gel is greatly effective), yes, you can use silicone gel and sheeting together, by alternating each product, day and night.
In fact, we recommend it!
These two products work together to provide around the clock scar management. We recommend using the silicone sheeting at night and the scar gel during the day. Check it out in our Scar Heal Kits.
Before & After

RejûvaSil Silicone Scar Gel
I had a real bad fall in January as I was leaving for the airport. Consequently I was unable to immediately tend to the cuts on my face. I had three cuts, one on each eyebrow and a third beside my nose. When I returned home, two weeks later I read about Rejûvaskin and decided to give it a try. Well, the good news is that the scars are healing. As I am over 70 years old and on blood thinners it takes longer but it definitely appears to be working.

Scar Heal Kit
I'm so glad my dermatology office had your product information next to their check out window. I use the kit daily, the silicone liquid during daytime and silicone sheeting at night. I even use makeup over the gel after it has dried. My surgery site is beside my nose and just under my right eye. People say they don't notice it at all. That is great! Thanks so much!

Scar Fx Silicone Sheeting
I researched best products for a scar I am looking to heal from Mohs surgery after a skin care diagnosis. I was directed to your site and have been using the scar sheets for about three months now. It’s doing a good job and I will continue to use it until my plastic surgeon tells me otherwise. Thank you for a product that doesn’t irritate and one that gives me hope of having the face I’m used to seeing in the mirror!
