As promised, here is a photo of my scar (on the right) at the end four weeks of using Bio-Oil. I’ve also included the same photo from the first post (the before picture) for comparison.

I’m very pleased with the result as I do see an improvement on the appearance of my scar. My scar looks smoother and its starting to fade. My scar still has a long way to go. At least some progress has been made and that’s a good sign. In my first post, I mentioned that I also began applying it on my face and all over my legs. I’m very glad that I did. My skin complexion has even out very nicely and the redness on my forehead has almost disappeared. Not to mention, I’m also getting less pimples. (No I won’t post my picture. You’ll just have to trust me on this. ^_^ ) Bio-Oil continues to keep my skin soft and silky without the heaviness and greasiness and I really love its fresh scent. I apply Bio-Oil twice a day and make sure that it is fully absorbed by gently massaging the area in a circular motion for a good two minutes.
According to the Bio-Oil website, it states that new scars have a greater chance of improving within a smaller time frame. Old scars would take longer. In my first post, I mentioned the instructions recommended to use the product for a minimum of three months. I thought that it would take that long to see any changes. Well it seems that Bio-Oil has been working its magic since I started using it and I am very happy. I really hope my scar continues to fade until it becomes less noticeable. I can’t wait to take another picture at the end of month two.
Well, that’s it for now. I know waiting four weeks is a long time but please hang in there. I’ll try to add some new posts during this period so stay tuned!
