Silicone Tape Silicone Dressing

The medical-grade gel sheets for scars are ideally designed for c-section scars. These prevent itching or stretching and are significantly thinner than most silicone scar sheets available in the market. Because of this, they conform to the body contours very precisely, causing minimal discomfort, if any. These are known to flatten, reduce, and fade scars, both old and new. They effectively do so by trapping the skin’s moisture in and promoting the production of collagen.

How to effectively use silicone scar sheet

Using a silicone scar sheet is pretty simple and unobtrusive. It’s almost like using a band-aid, but one that doesn’t come off as quickly. Make sure you clean the area where you’ll be using the sheet and dry it out thoroughly before applying the sheet. An average silicone sheet can be worn anywhere between 12 to 22 hours. Please make sure you change it appropriately and clean the used sheet with mild detergent.

• Consider the length of the treatment: How long will your treatment last? Depending on the location of your scar and its size, the duration of treatment will vary. Basis this, you could opt for either a pack containing just one sheet or one with several.
• Skin type: Choose silicone scar sheets based on your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, it is best to look for sheets that contain more hydration properties. In case your skin tends to break out easily, opt for one that is more breathable to give your skin enough air circulation. Excessively oily skin may require an additional product to ensure the sheet sticks to your skin, and so on.
• Scar type: Different silicone scar sheets may work for different kinds of scars. Depending on whether your scar is old or new, you may want to pick a specific type of scar sheet. Always check the product description to ensure you choose the right one for the right kind of scar you want to eliminate.
