Abstract
Of the many topical scar modification treatments available, silicone gel sheeting is the only product shown to be effective for the treatment of hypertrophic scars. Other topical scar treatments are frequently used without evidence of their efficacy. The authors discuss available topical scar treatments and their current role in clinical plastic surgery practice.
