Gel-Care Silicone Scar Sheets

Advanced Silicone Gel for Scars - Soften, Shrink and Flatten

Gel-Care Silicone Scar Sheets soften, shrink, flatten and fade most scars caused by injury, surgery, burns, acne and stretch marks. The sheets are proven highly effective for Hypertrophic Scars, found in areas of the body that have tight taught features, such as back, kees, elbows, chin and stomach. Each Gel-Care sheet should be worn for at least 12 hours per day and is designed to be washable and durable for up to 7-10 days of use, provided it is properly cared for.

To maintain adhesiveness, gently wash the Gel-Care sheet daily. Sheets can be cut in half for smaller scars or placed side-by-side to cover larger areas. Gel-Care sheets are water-resistant, staying in place during brief exposure to water, such as when showering, but they should not be exposed to water for extended periods.

To prevent abnormal raised scars, begin using Gel-Care as soon as the wound is closed or after sutures are removed. For existing scars, it can be used immediately, as long as the skin is intact and there are no open wounds or irritation. Gel-Care is suitable for use on children and individuals with sensitive skin.

The gel sheets combe an occlusive gel barrier with natural botanical oils, antioxidants, vitamins and emollients. This unique combination of proven ingredients will moisturise and condition the skin and scar tissue. The gentle cushioning of the gel helps to ease the painful itching and burning sensations common with scarring. These gel scar sheets are dermatologist tested.

How To Reduce The Appearance of Scars

Although scars on your skin might look unsightly, they once served a valuable purpose. For those unaware, scarring is the body’s natural way of healing and repairing tissue after it gets damaged. This damage can stem from something as small as scraping your knee on the ground or something as serious as undergoing surgery. certain diseases and skin conditions, such as acne, can also cause this type of damage. 

While some scars appear worse than others, they all start when the skin and underlying tissue get damaged. This combination triggers an uptick in the production of collagen, a protein found in connective tissue, skin, tendon, bone, and cartilage. This very collagen then goes to work to build up the area where skin and tissue damage has occurred, which is a critical part of healing and ultimately closing a wound. In some cases, all of this happens without leaving any signs. Sometimes, however, it causes significant scarring.

Minimising the Appearance of a Scar

While scarring is an essential part of the healing process, it can leave behind unsightly scars for some people.  Sometimes, they are so prominent that those with the misfortune of having them will search high and low for products that can help minimize their appearance. 

This is evidenced by a 2022 study, which showed the scar treatment market is forecasted to reach $32 billion by 2031. Of course, this forecast is not altogether that surprising given the huge consumer demand and the number of products already in the marketplace.

Studies show applying topical creams, lotions, and the like can significantly minimize the appearance of scars on just about any part of the body.  And this is because they contain a variety of scar-fighting ingredients, some of which include the following.

Aloe vera
Aquaphor 
Cocoa butter
Honey
Petroleum jelly
Vitamin E

How They Help Reduce Appearance of Scars

While topical creams, lotions, and the like tend to be the go-to products for many people, they may not be the most effective option. Another product that works remarkably well in this regard is self-adhesive sheets. Arguably, one of the best products in this category is the Gel-Care Silicone Scar Sheets from Silipos, a global leader in gel technology spanning multiple industries, including skin care.

These adhesive sheets contain a patented blend of gels that help soften, shrink, flatten and fade scars. Minimising the appearance of scars caused by injury, surgery, burns, acne and stretch marks. Also used to prevent and treat hypertrophic and keloid scars

Research & Results

Silipos conducted a clinical study on the sheets that compared with similar products from another brand. Here are the conclusions from the 63-page report:

1. All Silipos formulationsachieved statistically significant improvement in both the total and patient reported POSAS (Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale) assessment scoring scales vs. untreated controls.  The other brand’s silicone sheet failed to achieve statistically significant reductions in scar formation vs. untreated control by the same assessments at any time point analysed.
2. All Silipos formulations significantly improved scar color, stiffness, thickness, irregularity and overall opinion as assessed by POSAS scoring.
3. Silipos formulations generally resulted in a more rapid improvement in scar appearance than other bands and significantly more than untreated controls, as assessed by POSAS (total and patient reported).
4. Silipos products showed no difference in disruption of skin barrier function vs. untreated control. Conversely, the other brands product resulted in significant increases in disruption of skin barrier function vs. untreated.

Overall the Silipos formulation significantly improved scar color, stiffness, thickness, irregularity and overall opinion. Silipos Gel Care Advance showed overall improvement diminishing appearance of both old and new scars, and restoring skins natural colour.

How to use the Scar Sheets

1. Remove the plastic backing and place the self-adhesive sheet directly on the scar area.
2. Try to wear for 12 hours at a time.
3. Clean the product with mild soap and water in between wearing. The formula continues to treat the skin even after the strip has been removed.
