Use when the wound is perfectly closed and dry, generally from 21 days after the wound, during the initiated wound healing stage.

It uses a semi-occlusive, moisturizing mechanism. This physical mechanism keeps the temperature of the healing zone constant and prevents the loss of moisture from the tissues, by limiting excess collagen production by the skin.

They are both silicone-based medical devices and work by keeping the scar moisturised. Silicone Gel is a transparent gel that is easy to apply and particularly suitable for small wounds on delicate parts of the body, such as the face. Silicone Plaster, is a silicone-based plaster available in different sizes, which adheres to the skin and is particularly suitable for the treatment of larger wounds.
