Scars can come from surgery, injuries, burns, or skin issues like acne. They don’t just change how we look—they can also affect how we feel. Thankfully, with advances in medical technology, we now have more effective ways to help reduce scars. One popular option is silicone scar stickers.
Silicone scar stickers are patches made from medical-grade silicone gel designed to soften and fade scars. They stick closely to the scar and create a protective layer that helps the scar tissue soften, fade, and stay moisturized. This can reduce scar growth and lessen pigmentation.
Working principle
1. Moisturizing effect: Silicone gel has good moisturizing properties, which can lock moisture in the scar area, prevent skin dryness, and create a moist environment for scar repair.
2. Pressure therapy: The slight pressure of the patch helps to reduce the blood supply to the scar tissue and inhibit the excessive proliferation of fibroblasts, thereby slowing down the proliferation of scars.
3. Barrier protection: Silicone Scar Stickers act as a physical barrier to block the intrusion of external bacteria, dust and other pollutants, reduce the risk of scar infection, and protect new skin from external stimuli.
4. Regulate immune response: Studies have shown that silicone gel can also regulate the immune response of the scar area to a certain extent, reduce the release of inflammatory factors, and promote the normal repair of scar tissue.
How to use?
1. Clean the scar area: Use a mild cleanser to clean the scar area and ensure that the skin is dry and oil-free.
2. Cut the appropriate size: According to the size and shape of the scar, cut out the appropriate size of the silicone gel scar sticker.
3. Paste the patch: Gently apply the Silicone Scar Stickers on the scar to ensure a tight fit without bubbles.
4. Keep dry: During the use of the patch, try to avoid long-term contact with moisture or humid environment to avoid affecting the effect.
5. Replace regularly: According to the product instructions or doctor's advice, replace the silicone gel scar sticker regularly to ensure its continued effectiveness.
