but that's the other thing, the scar is well under my neck. sunlight would never reach it. from the photos i sent you there's one beneath it which is exposed to sunlight and that isn't red, i just assume it's red from over stretching it as it healed hence why it's hypertrophic/red.

i took your advice but instead of the capsules, i got the gel. i don't want to risk the pill version not absorbing. i'm assuming the gel has a delivery system for the skin. i just can't imagine how inflammation can stick around for so many years - it is so annoying! i'll dramatically stamp every 3 weeks and use silicone gel in the mean time. i feel like i've done everything.

about 4 years now which is why i'm getting annoyed. it's such an annoying place for silicone sheets too.

Hi again, just thought I would update you/ask for some help.

I've been following your instructions for raised hypoertrophic scars for months now and I'm seeing improvement, I started seeing a lot for the first few months now I just cannot for the life of me crush the remaining collagen... I just can't seem to flatten the surgical scar any more or get rid of the redness. I'm seriously losing hope and it's getting me down. I've started stamping even more than 8 times per area and then apply retin-a, then follow the rest of the steps.

Do I go for a 2mm stamp or single needle? Is there anything left for me to try? It's the redness that bothers me the most and the retin-a just isn't combatting it anymore.

Thanks again.

Thanks Sarah, I've emailed you with a photo. I hope that's OK.

Hi Sarah. I have a long surgical hypertrophic scar on my neck and this is really my last hope. You said http://shop.owndoc.com/product-info.php?oneliner15-pid181.html to roll the scar once every 5 weeks but in this thread you said three times a week.. I'm really confused.

Also my scar is quite long AND thick so I'm unsure whether to purchase the dermastamp or the one line roller. I don't really want to purchase two incase it's wrong.

Thanks,
