Video transcript

It can vary a bit depending on how the wound is doing, but on average, I usually say about a week after the stitches come out. Among scar ointments, the only ingredient with proven effectiveness is silicone,

and well-known products include Cica-Care and Dermatix Ultra. The silicone forms a film over the scar that prevents moisture loss and keeps collagen from overgrowing, which keeps the scar from forming excessively.
