Scars are an unpleasant problem for many people, and the use of silicone gel in the medical field, particularly as a dressing and scar repair option, is gaining traction. This special material has amazing properties in the medical field, especially in the treatment of wounds, post-operative wound healing and scar repair.
The uniqueness of silicone gel
Silicone gel is a synthetic material with a porous structure whose exceptional hygroscopicity and breathability make it ideal for medical applications. It can absorb and maintain the humidity of the surrounding environment, helping to keep the wound area moist and creating a microenvironment conducive to wound healing.
The role of silicone gel in medical dressings
Maintain a moist environment: Silicone gel can keep the wound surface moist, promote wound healing and reduce pain.
Prevent bacterial infection: It can prevent bacterial infection, provide protection, promote wound healing and reduce the risk of infection.
Reduce scar formation: Silicone gel dressings have a positive effect on reducing the color, thickness and texture of scars, helping to reduce scar formation.
Application of silicone gel in scar repair
Improve scar texture: Silicone gel can promote the arrangement of scar collagen, making it smoother and reducing the hardness of scars.
Improve scar color: Using silicone gel scar patches can help lighten the color of scars, making them closer to normal skin color.
Long-term effects: Continuous use of silicone gel scar patches can improve scars over the long term, making them gradually disappear or reduce to the point where they are almost invisible.
