Why Silicone is the Gold Standard in Scar Care
Whether in sheet or gel form, medical-grade silicone has been trusted for over 30 years by dermatologists and plastic surgeons. It’s clinically proven to:
-
Flatten raised scars
-
Soften hardened scar tissue
-
Reduce redness and pigmentation
-
Minimise itchiness and discomfort
-
Work safely on all skin types, including sensitive skin
Both formats share this foundation, but the way they deliver results differs.
Silicone Scar Sheets: Consistent Coverage and Maximum Occlusion
How They Work:
Silicone sheets provide a physical barrier that keeps scar tissue hydrated and protected. They adhere directly to the skin, sealing in moisture and creating the perfect healing environment.
Advantages:
-
Full coverage – Ideal for larger scars like surgical incisions or burns
-
Reusable – Each sheet can last up to 2 weeks with proper care
-
Low maintenance – Apply once daily and wear for 12–24 hours
-
Comfortable – Soft, breathable, and easy to wear under clothing
Best For:
-
Post-surgical scars (C-sections, joint replacements, cosmetic surgery)
-
Burn scars
-
Larger injury scars
Silicone Gels: Flexible Application for Hard-to-Reach Areas
How They Work:
Silicone gel is applied directly from a tube, forming a thin, invisible layer that dries on the skin. It’s designed for areas where sheets may not stick well — like joints or irregular surfaces.
Advantages:
-
Flexible use – Perfect for facial scars, elbows, knees, or fingers
-
Makeup-friendly – Can be worn under cosmetics
-
Portable – Small tubes fit easily into a bag or pocket
Best For:
-
Small or irregularly shaped scars
-
Areas with frequent movement
-
Discreet daytime wear
Which One Heals Scars Faster?
Clinical studies show both silicone sheets and gels can achieve significant improvements in scar appearance, especially when used consistently for 8–12 weeks.
However, silicone sheets often have a slight edge for larger or more stubborn scars because they deliver uninterrupted coverage and maintain hydration more effectively. Silicone gels shine when treating smaller, mobile, or facial scars where sheets are impractical.
Combining Treatments for Best Results
Some people alternate between the two:
-
Sheets at night for deep, sustained hydration
-
Gel in the daytime for areas exposed or requiring movement
This approach provides the benefits of both methods without compromising comfort.

FAQs: Choosing Between Silicone Sheets and Gels
Q: Can I start with gel and switch to sheets later?
Yes — you can transition between formats based on healing stage and scar size.
Q: Which is more cost-effective?
Sheets often last longer and can be more economical for large scars, while gels are more cost-efficient for small areas.
Q: Are results permanent?
Silicone helps remodel scar tissue for long-term improvement, but ongoing sun protection and care are important to maintain results.
Final Thoughts
Both silicone scar sheets and gels can significantly improve the appearance of scars when used consistently. Your choice depends on scar size, location, and daily routine — but for larger areas or post-surgical recovery, sheets remain the gold standard for maximum healing potential.
