Silicone Sheeting for scar management, how does it work?

The medical industry has used silicone sheeting since the early 1980's for treating burns and scarring. Although it was proven effective to reduce unsightly scars, the exact mechanism of the silicone sheeting is not known. Several suggestions have been made, including oxygen tension, hydration, increased pressure, and the presence of silicone oil in the local environment. These things are thought to aid in improving the color of the scar, diminishing the size of the scar, and increasing elasticity in both hypertrophic and keloid scars. No product can make scars completely disapear, but occlusive silicone sheeting can make them much less visible.

How to use Scarsil:

removing Scarsil Remove the Scarsil silicone sheet carefully from plastic bag

cutting right size Cut out a piece of a sufficient size to cover scar

adhesive tape preparation Prepare a length of hypoallergenic adhesive tape

placement over scar Put Scarsil silicone sheet over scar to cover it completely

fixing with tape Apply adhesive tape over Scarsil silicone sheet to hold it in place securely

securely held in place
For best results, a 24 hour scar occlusion period is
recommended.

Scarsil silicone sheet should be cleaned regularly with water and mild soap, let dry and may then be used again. Eventually, the same Scarsil silicone sheet may be reused for the whole duration of the treatment. For best results, use Scarsil for at least 8 - 12 weeks.
