Understanding Scars: Why Treatment Matters
Scars form when the body heals an injury to the skin. While they’re a natural part of recovery, excessive collagen production can make them raised, red, itchy, or discoloured. For many, scars can also cause self-consciousness, discomfort, or even restricted movement depending on their location.
Effective treatment isn’t about erasing history — it’s about restoring comfort, improving skin appearance, and supporting healthy tissue repair. That’s where silicone scar sheets have changed the game.
How Silicone Scar Sheets Work
Medical-grade silicone is more than just a soft surface — it’s a scientifically proven material for scar care. Silicone sheets work by:
-
Occlusion – Creating a protective seal over the scar to maintain optimal hydration
-
Collagen regulation – Helping balance collagen production to flatten raised scars
-
Pigment control – Reducing redness or dark marks over time
-
Comfort protection – Reducing itchiness and tenderness
This combination makes silicone scar sheets one of the few non-invasive, non-drug scar treatments supported by decades of medical research.
Conditions Silicone Scar Sheets Can Treat
-
Keloid Scars
- Extend beyond the original injury site
- Often thick, raised, and dark
-
Silicone helps soften the scar and reduce size over time
-
Hypertrophic Scars
- Raised but remain within the wound boundary
- Common after surgical incisions
-
Silicone flattens and fades them, especially when used early
-
Post-Surgical Scars
- C-section, knee surgery, mastectomy, or cosmetic surgery
-
Silicone protects the incision site while helping prevent thick scar tissue
-
Burn Scars
- Can cause tightness and discomfort
-
Silicone keeps the skin supple, aiding movement and reducing discolouration
-
Acne & Minor Injury Scars
-
Silicone can help improve texture and tone even on smaller marks
