Key Selling Points

Moisturises and conditions
The gel formulation combines botanical oils, antioxidants, vitamins and emollients to moisturise and condition the skin and scar tissue.
Cut to the required size
Each 4cm x 25cm strip can be trimmed using clean, sharp scissors to suit the length and shape of the scar.
Washable and reusable
The strips can be gently washed and reused when cared for according to the supplied instructions.
How Gel-Care Scar Strips Work
Each strip creates a soft, occlusive gel barrier over closed and intact scar tissue. This helps maintain a moisturised environment while gently cushioning the scar against friction and contact from clothing.
The combination of the gel barrier, botanical oils, antioxidants, vitamins and emollients is designed to condition the skin and support improvements in the colour, softness, thickness and overall appearance of the scar over time.
The soft gel may also help reduce itching, burning sensations and discomfort commonly associated with scar tissue.
Suitable Scar Types
Post-surgical scars
Suitable for use after surgery once the incision is fully closed, the sutures have been removed and the skin is intact.
Injury-related scars
Can be applied to healed scars resulting from cuts, abrasions and other injuries once the wound has completely closed.
Burn scars
May be used on fully healed burn scars where there are no open areas, blisters, inflammation or active skin damage.
Raised scars
Designed for the management of hypertrophic and keloid scars, subject to assessment and advice from a healthcare professional where appropriate.
Acne scars
May be trimmed into smaller sections for application over suitable areas of closed, intact scar tissue.
Stretch marks
The long strip format provides adaptable coverage for linear areas and may be cut to suit the intended application.
