Comprexx Silicone Gel Sheets are indicated for:
 

Application on New and Old Scars:

• Silicone gel sheets can be used on both new and existing scars. For new scars, they are typically applied after the wound has healed and the sutures have been removed, while older scars can be treated to improve their appearance and texture over time.

Hydration and Softening of Scar Tissue:

• The silicone in the gel sheets creates an occlusive barrier that traps moisture against the skin, keeping the scar tissue hydrated. This hydration helps to soften the scar, making it more pliable and less likely to become raised or hardened.

Reduction of Redness and Discoloration:

• Silicone gel sheets can help reduce the redness and discoloration often associated with scars. By normalizing the skin’s collagen production, these sheets assist in making the scar blend more naturally with the surrounding skin.

• Prevention of Hypertrophic Scars and Keloids:

• Silicone gel sheets are particularly effective in preventing the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids, which are raised and thickened scars that can develop after surgery, trauma, or burns. The consistent pressure and hydration provided by the sheets help to control excessive collagen production, which is a key factor in the development of these types of scars.

​

Ease of Use and Comfort:

• Silicone gel sheets are easy to use and comfortable to wear. They are typically self-adhesive and can be cut to fit the size of the scar. They are also flexible and can be worn under clothing, making them suitable for use on various parts of the body, including joints and areas with frequent movement.

Duration of Use:

• For optimal results, silicone gel sheets should be worn consistently for several hours each day, usually between 12 to 24 hours, and treatment typically continues for several weeks to months depending on the severity and age of the scar.

• The usage duration of the Silicone Gel Sheet should be increased gradually. Begin by applying it for 3-4 hours daily during the first 3-4 days. Thereafter, progressively extend the duration every 3rd or 4th day until it reaches a maximum of 12 hours per day. This gradual approach ensures effective usage without causing skin sagging.

Reusable and Cost-Effective:

• Most silicone gel sheets are reusable, making them a cost-effective option for long-term scar management. They can be washed and reused multiple times, maintaining their effectiveness over an extended period. It should be hand washed once daily with some neutral soap like Dove or Pears. After washing, rinse with lukewarm water and air dry.
