Silicone sheets are transparent and soft but not water-permeable, and are sticky to the skin. They can keep scars at a certain level of temperature, humidity, pressure, oxygen, etc. to soften scars, prevent scar hyperplasia, and finally achieve the effect of reducing scars.

Silicone products have a clear effect of inhibiting scar hyperplasia and promoting scar maturation and softening. At the same time, they have no toxic side effects or drug resistance issues. They can be used by male and female patients of any age, even pregnant and lactating women. Therefore, It is widely used clinically.

Ingredients and pharmacological effects: Silicone products are silicon-containing compounds, such as polysilica, silicone, etc., which form a protective film on the surface of scars and are not absorbed, inhibiting the evaporation of water in scar tissue and inhibiting scarring through hydration. At the same time, it continuously releases silicone oil, which has a high oxygen content, and can control the vascular proliferation of scar tissue due to lack of oxygen, thereby further inhibiting the proliferation of scars, promoting the maturation, softening, and fading of scars.

Classification: According to the different dosage forms of the product, it is divided into silicone gel medicine and silicone film. The former is such as clinically commonly used Beishen, Buck, etc., which are smear-type, transparent, and oily sticky medicine. The latter include Cica-Care, which is thicker and transparent, and Cica-Care, which is thin-skinned. It is recommended to use silicone patch, which can act on scars for a long time.
Scope of application: Most silicone products are oily and do not contain growth factors, so they cannot be used on fresh, unhealed wounds. You must wait for the skin to heal and be able to touch water before using it. It has little effect on old scars (white or pigmented in appearance, soft or tough in texture).
Scar treatment before use: It is recommended to start using it as soon as possible after the wound has healed, but try to clean the blood scab and other dirt on the wound surface, otherwise the dirt will be trapped between the silicone gel and the scar, which will be counterproductive.
How to use: Silicone products are non-absorbable, so no massage is required when using them. Apply the gel medicine twice a day in a thin layer. Try to use the silicone film 24 hours a day. If you sweat, take a bath or get dirty, rinse it with water or shower gel (dishwashing liquid). As long as it is sticky (only one side is sticky, don’t make a mistake), it can be used repeatedly.
Adverse reactions: If allergic symptoms such as rash, swelling, severe itching, etc. appear, stop using it. Try again after the skin returns to normal. If the same symptoms appear twice, stop using it.
Usage period: For pathological scars (hypertrophic scars and keloids), it is recommended to use it until the scars become white and soft. Use for non-pathological scars 6-8 months after injury or surgery.
