For Over the counter you can try this......
Neosporin Scar Solution helps restore your raised and discolored scars to a more natural color and texture, using the same technology trusted by burn centers and plastic surgeons. Using Neosporin Scar Solution on newly healed wounds actually helps prevent the formation of unsightly scars. Even scars that are years old from burns, surgical procedures and minor skin injuries can show significant improvement with Neosporin Scar Solution.
The fabric-backed sheets are durable, flexible, and blend with most skin tones for a more subtle appearance when worn on exposed skin. The easy-to-apply adhesive sheets are convenient in size and can be cut to fit the size of the scar, or worn side-by-side for larger scars.

Over-the-counter oils, ointments and creams haven't proven effective in reducing scar formation.
Up until recently, patients wishing to mask the appearance of scars have not had many options available beyond cover-up products. Conventional topical treatments include:
Retinoids: Formulations containing topical retinoids can be somewhat effective in treating new, red inflammatory scars, but they are ineffective in improving the appearance of mature, pale scars.
Creams: Ointments or creams containing glycolic acid and L-ascorbic acid, when used daily, may slightly improve the appearance of mature, white scars. Overall, results have been disappointing.
Harnessing the Power of Light to Treat Scars
New Treatment Option: ReLumeTM System
Both early and mature scars respond to new light-based technologies providing non-invasive, gentle treatments that can help affected skin more closely match its natural color.
ReLume is the first technological breakthrough to offer a practical treatment solution for skin conditions in which pigment loss has occurred. ReLume achieves selective repigmentation of hypopigmented skin by combining the benefits of safe and effective UV system with the latest advances in targeted light technology. The procedure is painless and safe for all skin types.
Treatments using ReLume are fast and non-invasive. Many people schedule appointments during their lunch hours. Patients usually require brief sessions once or twice a week; improvement in the appearance of mature scars is routinely achieved within six to fifteen treatments.
New Treatment Option: Intense Pulsed LightTM (IPL)
Many physicians are finding IPL a successful approach for reducing the appearance of hyperpigmented (dark red) scars. This non-invasive, gentle approach uses targeted flashes of light to treat dilated and broken blood vessels without injuring the surrounding healthy skin.
Practitioners determine an IPL treatment plan for each patient, taking into account the number and severity of skin conditions being addressed. On average, a series of four to six treatments is recommended, scheduled at three week intervals. Each session usually lasts about 20 minutes, with patients returning to normal activity immediately. By dividing the full program into several sessions, IPL treatments provide gradual, natural improvement with excellent long-term results.

For A Salon Type Treatment or Beauty Treatment

Dermabrasion is a surgical procedure in which the physician attempts to make scars less noticeable by sanding them using a small hand held tool. The end of this tool has a metal wheel which has a rough surface. When the tool is turned on, the wheel spins rapidly. The surgeon then moves the spinning wheel gently over the surface of the scar causing the scar to be worn away. Local anesthesia is injected into the area before the treatment. When the procedure is over, the skin looks like a red brush burn or shallow wound and is tender. The wound takes a few weeks to heal.
Possible Risks and Complications:
* The skin that is dermabraded can end up looking darker or lighter than the surrounding skin. This can usually be treated, but can be permanent.
* The scar can rarely end up looking worse. Sometimes new scars can form. In short, there is no guarantee that the procedure will not end up making you look worse.
When using the dermabrasion method.
For quick, low risk results you can try using the over the counter or patches. I would not use the silicon based patches though becuase this is just a temp fix.
Micro Dermabrasion
Is more for slight acne scars and age spots, helps areas to look fresh renew and young but not typically for scars.
Lastly
Curad Scar Therapy Patches
Scar Patches are a breakthrough in medical technology and are clinically proven to permanently soften, smooth, and flattens scars
