Strataderm Scar Therapy Silicone Gel for Scars 5gr
Strataderm is a rapidly drying, transparent silicone gel
formulation for the treatment of abnormal scars, both
old and new.
Strataderm is used for the prevention and treatment of
abnormal and excessive scar formation.
Strataderm was developed for the use on all types
of scars including those resulting from:
? General and cosmetic surgery
? Trauma and bites
? Burns and chronic wounds
? Acne, and other diseases of the skin.
FILM-FORMING, FLEXIBLE, FULL CONTACT
Strataderm dries to form a thin, transparent and durable
protective film that ensures constant contact with the scar
(24 hours a day/7 days a week).
HYDRATION
Strataderm is semi-permeable, which allows the skin to breathe
and remain hydrated.
PROTECTION
Strataderm protects the scar from chemical and microbial invasion.
ABNORMAL SCAR PREVENTION AND TREATMENT
Strataderm helps to normalise the collagen synthesis cycles,
producing a normal mature scar.
SOFTENS AND FLATTENS
Strataderm softens and flattens raised scars.
SYMPTOMATIC RELIEF
Strataderm relieves itching and discomfort of scars.
REDUCES REDNESS AND DISCOLOURATION
Strataderm reduces redness and discolouration associated
with scars.
NON-REACTIVE
Strataderm is inert, has no measurable pH, and contains no
alcohol, parabens or fragrances, making it suitable for children,
pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and people with
sensitive skin.
EASY TO USE
Strataderm is applied once daily*. Strataderm is suitable for
all areas of the skin, including exposed areas like the face
and neck as well as joints and hairy areas without the need
for shaving.
COMPATIBLE
Once dry, Strataderm can be covered by sunscreen, cosmetics,
pressure garments or casts.
How to apply Strataderm
?
1. Ensure that the scar is
clean and dry.
2. Apply a very thin layer of
Strataderm to the scar and allow to
dry. When applied correctly, Strataderm
should be dry in 3-4 minutes.
4. Once dry, Strataderm can be
covered by a physical sunscreen,
cosmetics, pressure garments
or casts.
3. If it takes longer to dry
you have probably applied
too much. Gently remove the
excess with a tissue and allow
the drying process to continue.
? Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to
exposed areas, or as required to maintain contact with the
affected surface, or as advised by your physician.
? For best results, Strataderm should maintain continuous
contact with the skin (24 hours a day/ 7 days a week).
? Strataderm is recommended as a minimum treatment of
60-90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer. Continued
use is recommended until no further improvement is seen.
? Strataderm does not need to be rubbed in or massaged as it
does not penetrate through the skin and will not enhance its effect.
? If not completely dry, Strataderm may stain clothing.
Normal washing will not remove the product from the clothes.
If staining occurs, dry cleaning should be able to remove it
without any damaging of the fabric.
? Strataderm should not be applied over topical medications
unless advised by your physician.
