• Scars:
Scars always occur when tissues have been significantly damaged and repaired. It’s a natural part of the healing process. Scar is formed when healing cells, called fibroblasts, enter the wounded area and start forming collagen (the building block of the scar tissue) to close the wound as fast as possible. A normal looking scar occurs when collagen line up in rows, forming a bridge over the wound. Hypertrophic and Keloid scars occur when collagen fibers are overproduced and do not line up uniformly.
• How Kemagel®Silicone reduces scars:
The exact mechanism of action by which Silicone Gel works is still unknown. However, it is thought that it acts on the outer layer of the skin to reduce evaporation and so it keeps the skin in an adequately but not over-hydrated condition. The hydration of the scar site may help create ideal conditions for softening and fading of scar tissue.
Scars are permanent; Kemagel®Silicone will not remove them. However, when used properly as directed, Kemagel®Silicone will reduce the size and discoloration of scar tissue.
- Use Kemagel®Silicone when scar is closed and/or sutures have been removed. Do not use on any open wound.
- Wash your hands and the scar tissue with mild soap and water and pat dry.
- Apply a very thin layer of silicone gel to the area and gently massage.
- Wipe away any excess and allow scar area to dry for few minutes to avoid staining of bedding or clothing.
- After proper application, Kemagel®Silicone may be covered with a blush or other camouflaging cosmetic.
- Apply silicone gel twice daily in the morning and before bedtime, or as directed by your doctor.
- For maximum effect, silicone gel should have 24 hour contact with the skin.
- Recommended minimum treatment time is 60–90 days. It may take longer than 90 days for older and larger scars to achieve full benefit. Extended use is recommended if continued improvement is seen.
