How to Get Rid of Scars: What Actually Helps Improve Appearance

Scars are a normal part of how skin looks after a minor cut, scrape, or burn. While they’re completely natural, many people want them to blend in and appear less noticeable.

Here are simple, supportive ways to improve the appearance of scars:

1. Keep the Area Clean and Protected

Clean skin recovers more smoothly. Using a first-aid antiseptic on fresh minor wounds helps protect the area from bacteria and irritation.

2. Use Products That Help Reduce the Appearance of Scars

A product formulated with Nitric Oxide, like NOxyDERM™, may help: 

  • Reduce the appearance of scars

  • Support healthier-looking skin

This works best when applied consistently to minor wounds during the normal first-aid process. See the research HERE!

3. Keep the Skin Moisturized

Well-hydrated skin often looks smoother and more even.

4. Protect From Sun Exposure

UV rays can make scars stand out more. Use clothing or shade to protect the area.

5. Be Patient

Skin appearance naturally improves over time — especially when cared for gently and consistently.
