Can aloe vera gel remove scars?
In general, aloe vera gel may help fade scars, although its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For superficial and newer scars, aloe vera gel may have some lightening effect. With consistent use, a reduction in scar color and improvement in texture may be observed. However, for larger, deeper, or particularly prominent scars, the effectiveness of aloe vera gel may be limited. Such scars might require more effective treatment methods.
Scar removal can typically be improved through treatments such as cryotherapy, microneedling, radiofrequency therapy, and fractional laser therapy.
