Bio oil helps the condition of the skin, apparently it is more the massaging(sp!) that helps the scars. I think bio oil will help both colour and help flatten, but you have to use it for a long time etc for things to change. What I thought about doing if I was to start using bio oil was to take a photo of my scars before I started using it, so in say 3 months I would compare with the photo cause the change will be slow and you may not think anything is happening but in reality they may have improved a bit more than you realised...if that makes sence.
Sorry I can't give you first hand advice since I ahven't used bio oil in years and when I did it wasn't for long. I have just read a lot about these things.
Also it isn't too expencive for the oil - between £7 and £10 - plus apparently it lasts for ages as it is an oil so you don't need much! If you want your scars to improve, try these things and stick with them, don't expect miricals but the earlier you treat scars the more likely they will fade, but they may not fade completely....You just have to try!
Hope some of that makes sence!
