When it comes to scar treatment, your best option is always to prevent scars before they come up and become visible. Cosmetic surgery has evolved over the last several decades to encompass many different scar mitigation techniques to reduce the visibility of scars and their overall occurrence.
Many of these treatments for scar removal have focused on lasers and topical treatments that can be applied after a scar has formed. The better option is to minimize the characteristics of a scar as a wound develops and heals. It is very important to optimize wound healing, and reduce the risk of infection and inflammation, which may further aggravate a healing incision.
Some of the best methods to reduce the occurrence of scars include topical scar creams to optimize skin healing and reduce the likelihood of visible scars.

Plato's scar serum has been a go-to scar treatment gel for cuts, scrapes, burns, and plastic surgery incisions.

Once an incision has epithelialized and healed over, it is best to apply the scar serum on the wound twice daily in order to reduce inflammation and optimize skin healing. The scar gel helps massage down active scars, and facilitates the process of scar remodeling in new and old scars.

The major downside of a silicone sheet is that it's static, and does not allow a patient to actively massage down scars.
