SilDerm Scar Gel

What is SilDerm Scar Gel

SilDerm Scar Gel is a proven formula which works to allow your body to heal to the best of its ability and make the scar seem less obvious. It will take regular use in order to achieve this and can also reduce the pain and itching, which comes when the skin heals.

Skin will create scar tissue when it has undergone some kind of trauma such as a burn, surgery or deep or superficial wounds. It creates this tissue to knit the skin back together in a way that was stronger than before, and it can have a very different appearance to the skin that was there before and that which surrounds it. Scars can be red or white, raised, thickened and sometimes darker too.

There are two main types of scar, which are:

Keloid – these scars are often raised and tend to be a different colour to the skin around them. These are like an overproduction of scar tissue as are formed often after only minor trauma to the skin such as acne or a piercing. They can be raised and red or darker and can continue to develop even after the skin is healed. The discoloured and often raised appearance is often the reason sufferers wish to improve how they look.

Hypertrophic – these can be thickened, raised and wide, forming at the exact place of the trauma suffered by the skin. Like keloid scars, sometimes they can be as a result of an abnormal reaction and therefore overdevelop which makes them more prominent. Sufferers of these scars would potentially also want to improve their appearance.

Scarring is a natural process to heal the body, however, some people would prefer their scars were less obvious. Thanks to treatments such as SilDerm Scar Gel, this is now possible.

How effective is SilDerm Scar Gel?

The active ingredient in SilDerm Scar Gel is 100% silicone which has been proven in clinical tests to improve the appearance of all types of scars.

It is expected that at least 80% of users of SilDerm Scar Gel will see an improvement in their scars regardless of its age or type, so it is a highly effective product.

The silicon, when applied to the skin, will form a barrier to the environment which will promote healing and an improvement in the way it looks, even on scars which might be more than 2 years old. However, it is even more effective when used on newly scarred skin as it is then when it can make the most difference.

How does SilDerm Scar Gel work?

The active ingredient in SilDerm Scar Gel is 100% medical-grade silicone and it is that which provides the benefits needed to improve the appearance of scars. It has been proven effective in both the prevention of scar tissue forming and also the healing of scars which are already present.

It acts as a protective barrier on the skin, which keeps moisture in. When healing, the skin requires moisture, so this is crucial. Furthermore, the barrier prevents bacteria from entering the skin, which can hinder the healing process by causing further inflammation. It is also possible that the use of silicone suppresses the production of more scar tissue cells whilst reducing the existing redness, inflammation and itching/discomfort associated with healing skin.
