SilDerm Scar Gel 15g

SilDerm™ Scar Gel - clinically proven to not only prevent but can repair the unsightly scars caused by surgical operations, trauma injury, wounds or burns.

Routinely used by plastic surgeons to repair severe scarring, Scar Gel is a light, odour-free, quick drying silicone gel, and an ideal treatment for people to use at home to reduce and improve the appearance of both old and new scars.

Scars are usually formed from a trauma or injury. This can be the result of surgery, a burn or an accident. Anything that causes the skin to break will cause a scar, and in some people the scars will get better. In a large proportion of people, the scars will remain red and raised and these need to be treated with a safe effective product that is clinically proven to work.

Some people heal slower than others and they are more likely to get scars. If the scar is still red and raised after 2 weeks then SilDerm™ Scar Gel should be used to reduce the redness and flatten the scars.

If you know that you scar easily or have a family member that scars then you should use SilDerm™ Scar Gel as soon as the skin has healed. Early use has been clinically proven to prevent scar formation
