FAQs

Mechanism of Action
Scar tissues exhibit excessive trans-epidermal water loss for as long as one-year post-wound healing. This abnormally high level of water evaporation stimulates keratinocytes to produce cytokines, which in turn signal the activation of fibroblasts to synthesize collagen. Left unchecked, excessive collagen production can lead to abnormal scarring. Silicones applied over the scar provide occlusion and hydration of the stratum corneum, down-regulating keratinocyte stimulation, and further collagen production. After 2-3 months of silicone treatment, collagen is normalized and hypertrophic scarring is prevented.

• Begin use after 2 weeks (you may begin using the gel once the wound has closed no bleeding or oozing) and after any removable stitches have been removed.
• Do not put on open wounds.
• Ensure the scar area is clean and dry, as well as free from creams, lotions, ointments, and powders.
• Apply a very small amount of gel to the scar and gently massage.
• Allow drying.
• Once dry, cosmetics and compression garments may be used over the scar.
• Use twice daily for 8-12 weeks for optimal results. Patients who use Silagen consistently twice a day for 2 months get the best results.
• If you are prone to forming excessive scars (hypertrophic or keloid) you may want to continue treatment for up to 6 months.
• Do not use the gel under Silagen silicone sheets, strips, or shapes. They will not stick to the skin if you do.
