SilDerm™ Scar Gel is a lightweight, self-drying silicone gel for the treatment of scars. SilDerm™ Scar Gel contains Silicone which has been shown to flatten, soften and smooth scars, relieve the itching and discomfort of scars, as well as reduce the discoloration associated with scars.

SilDerm™ Scar Gel is made of silicone.

SilDerm™ Scar Gel rapidly dries to form a custom fitted silicone sheet; this silicone gel sheet layer is gas permeable, flexible and waterproof. SilDerm™ Scar Gel forms a bond with the stratum corneum (the outer layer of dead skin cells) forming a protective barrier against chemical, physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration. This creates an environment that allows the scar to mature through normalized collagen synthesis cycles and improves the physiological and cosmetic appearance of the scar.

When using SilDerm™ Scar Gel, the recommended minimum treatment time is 60–90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer and continued use is recommended if improvement is still seen after the initial 90 days.

• Ensure that the affected area is clean and dry.
• Apply SilDerm™ Scar Gel to the area as a very thin layer and allow to dry.
• Apply SilDerm™ Scar Gel twice daily.
• For maximum effect, SilDerm™ Scar Gel should have 24 hour contact with the skin.
• Once dry, SilDerm™ Scar Gel can be covered with sun block or cosmetics.
• If SilDerm™ Scar Gel has not dried within 4–5 minutes, you have probably used too much.
• Gently remove the excess and allow the drying process to continue.

SilDerm™ Scar Gel is intended for the management of old and new hypertrophic and keloid scars resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma, wounds and burns. It may help to soften and flatten raised scars and reduce redness or discoloration associated with them. It may also reduce itching or irritation you may still be experiencing.

The SilDerm™ Scar Gel layer will dissipate as your skin cells naturally exfoliate approximately 24 hours. If necessary, gentle washing with soap and water should remove any remainder. It is not necessary to remove the entire SilDerm™ Scar Gel layer prior to re-application.

SilDerm™ Scar Gel may help improve the appearance of older scars as well as newer scars.

90 days is the recommended initial treatment period however depending upon the scar’s condition and age, treatment could be a bit shorter or longer. Depending on the size of the scar, each package is designed to offer a sufficient quantity of gel for 90 days of treatment, applied twice a day.

The timing of results varies greatly from person to person. You should see improvement within 90 days. Reduction of redness and itching are usually the first results noted.

If you are still progressing at 90 days, continue to apply SilDerm™ Scar Gel until you are no longer seeing improvement.

You can start to apply SilDerm™ Scar Gel after the stitches have been removed and the wound is closed.

SilDerm™ Scar Gel is effective on all skin types and colors.

SilDerm™ Scar Gel will not harm your hair. There is no effect from SilDerm™ Scar Gel on hair.

This ultra-thin waterproof sheet increases the hydration of the stratum corneum but also allows the skin underneath to breathe. The thinner the layer, the more durable the material will be and the better the breathability. If SilDerm™ Scar Gel is applied too thick then this reaction will take too long and the gel will remain sticky.
