Can Silicone Gel Really Remove Scars?

In the field of beauty and skin care, silicone gel has always been considered a miracle product and is widely promoted as a tool that can effectively remove scars. Today, let’s discuss whether silicone gel can really remove scars.

What is silicone gel?

Silicone gel is a non-toxic, odorless, harmless inorganic non-metallic material that is extremely hygroscopic and breathable. Because of its unique physical structure, it is widely used in medical, cosmetics, food packaging and other fields.

Silicone gel is a clear, soft, skin-conforming topical dressing. Its main principle of action is to improve the texture and color of scars by forming a moist environment on the scar surface. 

How silicone gel works in scar removal

Moisturizing effect:Silicone gel has excellent hygroscopic properties, which can help maintain a moist environment in the scar area and promote cell regeneration and repair.

Isolation effect:Silicone gel can form a thin film covering the surface of scars, which can isolate external stimuli and prevent scars from deepening and expanding.

Massage effect:Massage with silicone gel can promote blood circulation, accelerate the metabolism of scar tissue, and help soften and smooth scars.

How to use silicone gel correctly?

Clean the scarred area: Before applying silicone gel, clean the scarred area with a mild cleanser to keep your skin clean.

Apply silicone gel: Apply an appropriate amount of silicone gel evenly to the scar area and massage gently until completely absorbed.

Continuous use: Continuous use will provide better results
