Directions:
• Peel off the clear plastic liner and apply over scar with adhesion side down.
• Wear daily for 6-24 hours. Remove once daily to allow site and sheeting to be washed and dried. For best results, use daily for a minimum of 3 months.
Do not use Silagen® gels underneath Silagen® sheeting and shapes, the gel will cause the sheeting to lose its ability to stick to your scar. See insert enclosed with each product for more instructions for use.
Tips For Achieving The Best Scar Results:
- AVOID THE SUN: Sun exposure on new scars can cause permanent hyperpigmentation,
or darkening, of the scar. Use Silagen®+ SPF30 on areas exposed to the sun. - FOLLOW YOUR DOCTOR’S ORDERS: Correct post-op incision care will help prevent infection and inflammation, which could worsen scar appearance.
- USE SILAGEN®: Clinical studies have proven the effectiveness of silicone gel and sheets in the prevention and treatment of scars, and they are recommended by scar experts as the preferred first-step treatment to get the best results.
- BE CONSISTENT AND PERSISTENT: Silicone works by forming a layer over the skin. Use as directed every day for the full recommended length of treatment.
All Silagen® products may be used exclusively for the full course of treatment, or combined as day and night treatments as advised by your doctor. Ask your doctor for more information about Silagen® so you can start refining your scar!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How is Silagen® Different?
Silagen® silicone gels and sheeting are made with the highest quality medical grade silicones. The silky feel of Silagen® gels won’t leave a wet, sticky mess on your skin like other gels do. The 1 mm thick sheets, strips and shapes feature an advanced adhesion technology, allowing them to conform well to the body and still be durable enough to last for up to 4 weeks.
How Does Silagen® Work?
Silagen® gels and sheets create a protective barrier over the scar, which increases hydration and helps stop excessive collagen build up. This will help flatten and soften your scar, and reduce redness, itching and pain. The sunscreen in Silagen® Silicone Gel + SPF30 helps to protect your scar from hyperpigmentation, an often permanent darkening of the scar caused by sun exposure.
How Soon After Surgery Can I Begin Using Silagen®?
You may begin using Silagen® as soon as the skin is fully closed, after any sutures have been removed. Do not use on an open wound.
How Soon Will I See Results?
You will begin to see results in as little as 3 weeks. Best results are seen after 90 days.
How Do I Apply Siiagen®?
Ensure scar area is clean, dry, and free from creams, lotions, ointments and powders before applying Silagen®.
