Silicone Therapy for Scar Treatment
Scarring is a natural reaction of our body, either after a surgical procedure or a spontaneous injury.
Appearance of your scars after healing depends on many factors, including the extent of skin damage, genetic disposition, and the level of healing processes in the body. Scars can vary in shape, size, colour and texture.
Scar treatment should be an integral part of postoperative care. With proper care, we can minimize the visibility of scars, regulate their redness and even prevent the formation of keloid and hypertrophic scars.
What are keloid and hypertrophic scars?
Keloid and hypertrophic scars are types of abnormal scarring that can occur when damaged skin does not heal properly.
These are raised, thick, and, at first glance, very noticeable scars characterized by excessive tissue growth. They are often red for a long time.
When to start with scar treatment?
Start the treatment when the scars are completely healed. If you have any doubts, consult your doctor about the start of scar treatment.
We recommend using silicone gel or silicone patches for at least 30 days. Certain types of scars can change their shape and size for up to several months.
How does silicone help manage scars?
Reduces pressure and friction
Silicone patches reduce pressure and friction on the scar. This helps minimise the formation of excess connective tissue and slows down their growth.
Creates a protective layer
Silicone creates a thin protective layer on the skin surface that helps protect the scar from irritation, drying or contamination. This significantly improves the conditions for scar healing.
Keeps scars moisturised
Keeping the scar optimally moist is important for the entire healing process. Proper hydration prevents drying and helps skin regeneration.
Reduces redness
Regular use of silicone products can help reduce the redness of the scar and change its color. The scar is then less noticeable and blends better with the surrounding skin.
Softens the structure of scars
Just as silicone can help lighten a scar, it can also improve its texture. This means that the scar will feel smoother and less noticeable.
Silicone LIPOELASTIC gel
LIPOELASTIC gel is a silicone gel enriched with vitamin E intended for the treatment and prevention of abnormal (hypertrophic and keloid) scars. You can use LIPOELASTIC gel to treat any part of the skin, especially scars on the face, neck, joints and skin folds.
Silicone LIPOELASTIC gel helps alleviate the problems associated with scar healing:
- reduces redness
- reduces the tension of the scar
- reduces itching
- alleviates joint movement restrictions
- reduces feelings of discomfort
- helps improve the appearance of the scar
LIPOELASTIC gel is quick-drying, non-greasy, non-sticky, transparent and easy to apply in one stroke. It has a silky smooth texture and can be applied to scar tissue anywhere on the body.
Silicone LIPOELASTIC sheets
LIPOELASTIC sheets are self-adhesive transparent silicone patches that are the ideal solution for treating new and old scars. The silicone composition of the patch keeps the skin naturally moist and provides the scar with the necessary hydration for its healing and regeneration. You can easily adjust the patch to different shapes, sizes and types of scars by trimming. The patches are washable, reusable and very easy to apply to the treated area.
Main benefits:
- easy application
- suitable for old and new scars
- keeps the scar hydrated
- aids tissue recovery
- can be adjusted by trimming
- transparent and discreet
Scar treatment after abdominoplasty and c-section
To treat scars after abdominoplasty and caesarean delivery, you can choose between LIPOELASTIC gel or silicone LIPOELASTIC sheets, which you can cut and adjust to the size and shape of the scar.
Scar treatment after breast surgery
For scar care, choose the velvety-silk LIPOELASTIC silicone-based gel, or reach for the discreet-looking silicone LIPOELASTIC sheets. These patches are developed to perfectly adapt to the shape of the scar according to its incision - you can choose between lollipop-shaped patches (incision and insertion of the implant through the nipples) or anchor-shaped patches (for the scar in the inframammary fold).
