Understanding Scarring

Scars form following trauma to the skin, especially after surgery. The greater the depth and severity of the incision, the greater the chance the patient will be left with a noticeable scar.

A normal scar begins developing during the ﬁrst 48 hours after wound closure and can fade between 3 and 12 months. However, numerous factors including genetics, type of trauma and preventable aspects such as poor post operative care, can lead to abnormal scarring.

The Importance of Early Intervention

The ﬁrst few months after your procedure can be important for scar mitigation.

Early treatment can significantly reduce the chance of developing abnormal scarring.

Silicone: The gold standard in scar prevention and mitigation

Silicone has emerged as a popular Scar Treatment Method with robust scientific backing. Numerous research studies conﬁrm its effectiveness in preventing and reducing scar formation across various wound types.
Silicone Gels & Sheeting protect the scar tissue and mimic a layer of healthy skin. The hydrating layer signals the restorative cells not to overproduce collagen and other growth factors which can lead to abnormal scarring.

What Are the Side Effects?

Silicone scar tape can sometimes cause skin irritation. Other potential side effects include burning, itchiness, and rashes. These complications are more likely if you live in a hot, humid climate or have sensitive skin and or leave tape on for prolonged periods in these conditions.

Quit using silicone scar tape right away if you experience any side effects. Reach out to a dermatologist or other appropriately trained clinical specialist if necessary.

Is Silicone Gel or Tape Better for Scars?

Both silicone gel and tape treat, manage, and prevent scars. Some studies indicate they are about equally effective, while others have found that silicone gel sheets are superior.

Whether you should choose silicone scar tapes or liquid drying gel depends on where your scar is located and your wear pattern, conditions and personal preference . You may find scar tape more convenient because it can cover a large area of the skin at once and does not need to be reapplied multiple times a day.

Also the tape has the benefit of removing tension on scar sites particularly important in early healing. In hot humid climates the tape may irritate the skin more particularly if worn for extended periods, then it drying gel may be better tolerated for extended wear or

Personal preference is also significant. Some users combine both, for example, one usage pattern is to start with tape and later gradually change to wear time to the drying liquid gel.
