Silicone is the most frequently used non-invasive treatment in scar management and is used by Plastic Surgeons, Dermatologists and Skin Care Specialists to help fade and repair unsightly scar tissue.
The silicone gel pad is suitable for scars resulting from surgery, accidents, burns, and other injuries. Providing a unique combination of transparency, flexibility and adhesiveness the silicone reduces hypertrophic scars and keloids, while the transparency offers minimal visibility when worn on exposed body parts.
The silicone sheet is thin, discreet and self-adhesive which makes the sheet comfortable and convenient to use under clothing. The sheet can be washed with mild soap and water, allowing it to be re-used.

· Gently clean the scar and surrounding tissue, rinse in clean warm water and thoroughly dry
