Is lavender oil good for scars?

I have just had an op and have been advised by a friend to rub lavender oil on the scar.Does this really work?Is lavender oil good for scars?
Mainly in the latter stages of the healing process as it has antiseptic and healing properties. To reduce the appearance of scars you need to massage pure vitamin E wheatgerm oil regularly as this will fade it.Is lavender oil good for scars?
Yeah heard that too! Try 'Bio oil 'has lavender, rosemary, calendular, chamomile oil AND Vit E %26amp; A. It is light and non greasy %26amp; little goes a looong way!

I have never heard of that. But I have heard of an oil from the Andes that's very well knwon for treating scars (inc. after surgery) called Rosa Mosqueta Oil , it has been featured in the Sunday Times %26amp; mail on Sunday (see link below for more details). It's about 拢10...
Lavender Oil is one of the best oils with healing properties and also one of the very few oils that you can use neat without having to blend with a carrier oil before use. I would get advice first though about using on a fresh wound, as I think you should leave well alone until it has started to heal first due to the risk of infection! Your own body has its own natural healing processes. The lavendar oil will be good to use to reduce the scar after it has healed, as does Vitamin E oil.
It works for burns, and it has healing and antiseptic qualities, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Yes it works but i personally would recommend bio oil. it`s available at most chemists. i had really bad stretch marks and with using bio oil they are virtually gone. it will take about 6 months before you notice the difference but stick with it. best to apply it twice a day after a shower.
I've read in general that any oil is good, but I think that the most widely used is Vitiamin E oil. My mom used that after her C-section and doesn't have the scar anymore--some people say to use the Vit E gel capsules and break them up and squeeze the oil on and rub it in like lotion (don't rinse it off). Good luck. I hope you are recovering nicely.
It's not as near as good as Vitamin E oil.
If you have just had your op then the lavender can help speed the healing process of the tissue up and greatly if not totally stop scar tissue. I use essential oils for just about everything and never found the need to pay for more expensive shop bought items. im me if you want a bit more info ok no bother gl
bio-oil is better
