Scarsil Gel

Scarsil Gel is recommended for the treatment of problem scarring including Hypertrophic and Keloid scars. The gel is odourless, transparent and non-sticky that is ideal for the “invisible” treatment of scars. Scarsil Gel can also be used on closed healed wounds and after suture removal. The results from experience and clinical trials reveals that silicone gel is equivalent in efficacy to traditional silicone gel sheeting. Scarsil Gel is typically used on smaller scars than sheet gel and the invisibility it provides is ideal for scars located on the face.

Scarsil Scar Gel

One of the type of scars that Scarsil Scar Gel can treat is a Keloid scar. Keloid scars are the result of a wound healing and becoming thicker, lumpier and larger than the original wound. They are usually enlarged, raised, and can be red, pink or darker than the surrounding skin. This type of scar can even develop from very minor skin damage, such as an acne spot, and spread beyond the original area of damaged skin. People who are darker skinned are more likely to develop a Keloid scar. They can appear anywhere, but are more common on the upper chest, shoulders, head and the neck. Scarsil Scar Gel may be required if the scar is showing signs of being a keloid scar.

Keloid scars are usually:

Shiny
Hairless
Raised above surrounding skin
Hard and rubbery
Red or purple at first, before becoming pale or brown

It’s important to use medication that heals scars such as Scarsil Scar Gel on a Keloid scar, as they can last for years and may not even form until months or years after the original injury.

Scarsil Scar Fading Gel

Another type of scar that Scarsil Scar Fading Gel treats is called a hypertrophic scar. Hypertrophic scars, much like keloid scars, are the result of a protein called collagen building up at the site of a wound. This type of scar, unlike keloid scars, do not extend beyond the boundary of the original wound. Without use of Scarsil Scar Fading Gel, they can continue to thicken for up to 6 months before gradually improving over the length of a few years. There are other treatment options available other than Scarsil Scar Fading Gel. If scarring is unsightly, uncomfortable or restrictive, other treatment options can include:

Pressure dressings
Steroids
Skin camouflage
Surgery

Scarsil Silicone Scar Gel

In contrast to pure silicone gel, the performance characteristics of Scarsil Silicone Scar Gel are uniquely complemented by three vital ingredients:

97% silicone gel to treat the scar
1% fat-soluble Vitamin Cat-soluble Vitamin C protects the scar from damaging ultraviolet rays and has a positive effect on scar maturity
1% emu oil: Australian aborigines have used natural emu fat to treat wounds and scars from time immemorial. It softens and smoothes the skin and it is this that gives Scarsil Silicone Scar Gel its unmistakeable softness
1% squalene: It supplied the top layer of the skin with lipids. It smoothes and cares for the skin

Scar FX Scarsil Topical Silicone Gel

Scar FX Scarsil Topical Silicone Gel shouldn’t be considered a treatment for all types of scars, and definitely shouldn’t be used with the mind-set that it will certainly, 100%, get rid of scars.
