Whether caused by surgery, burns or other injuries, scars can have serious and long lasting effects on those who have sustained them. There are various methods of reducing these impacts by treating the scars, one of which is via the application of silicone gel.

There are many ways in which scars can affect physical health and wellbeing. Some scars, especially when they are new, can be extremely painful and very sensitive to being touched. Conversely, scars can cause a reduction in skin sensitivity, making the area feel completely numb. Scars can also cause intense itching that is not relieved by scratching. When scars are sustained to the body's moving parts, they can restrict the ability to move properly.

Mental health can also be affected by scarring. Numerous studies have shown that people who have scars, particularly in highly visible areas, are prone to experiencing a range of issues including anxiety, depression, anger, shame and low self-esteem. The largest study yet carried out (by The Scar Free Foundation) into the effects of facial scarring revealed that people who have sustained scars to the face experience anxiety and depression at a much higher rate than the general population.   

Scar-Fx® Silicone Sheet Gel available from Medigarments Ltd

The application of silicone gel has been repeatedly proven by clinical evidence and observation to flatten and soften scars, reducing both the discolouration and discomfort of scarred skin. Silicone gel helps to hydrate the area while creating a barrier to protect the vulnerable scar. It also works to regulate the collagen that forms scar tissue.

ScarSil® Silicone Gel available from Medigarments Ltd

Fabric sheets like Scar-Fx^® have long been a trusted method for delivering silicone gel to scars, but they may not always be the best option, especially for more sensitive or hard-to-reach areas like facial scars or joints. They're also less practical for small children who may find it difficult to keep them in place. That’s where ScarSil^® by Medigarments Ltd comes in a convenient, topical silicone gel designed to provide the same effective scar treatment, but in a more flexible and user-friendly format. ScarSil^® offers an ideal solution for those seeking an easy-to-apply, discreet, and highly effective way to improve the appearance of scars without the challenges posed by traditional fabric sheets.

ScarSil^® is made using ultra-pure silicone and is rich in vitamin C. The formula is as smooth as silk and glides effortlessly onto the skin. Super-gentle, ScarSil^® can be used safely on children and those with sensitive skin. Upon application to any part of the body, ScarSil^® dries rapidly, forming a protective, waterproof and completely invisible film. The skin beneath is protected from maceration and the potential for vascularity and pruritis is vastly reduced.
