How does SCARmed work?
Silicone gel has been used successfully in scar management for over 30 years. [1]
- SCARmed, when applied to a scar, allows the skin to breathe and remain hydrated. ¹
- SCARmed silicone gel reduces Trans-Epidermal water loss (TEWL) ¹ from scars.
- It assists with better hydration which helps to soften and flatten raised scars. ¹
- SCARmed silicone gel dries quickly and forms a clear, flexible water resistant barrier over the scar. ²
- SCARmed gel protects the scar from chemical and microbial invasions.
- SCARmed and silicone gel helps to normalise the production of collagen. By normalising collagen production, it starts softening and flattening scars over time. ¹

How to use SCARmed Silicone Gel?
SCARmed gel is very simple to apply.
- Ensure that the scar is clean and dry.
- Apply a very thin coat of SCARmed gel to the scar and rub it over the scar gently.
- Allow to dry over scar for 4-5 minutes. If the gel has not dried, remove the excess product.
- Apply SCARmed twice daily – in the morning and evening.
- Once dry, SCARmed can be covered by cosmetics or sunscreen.
How long to use?
SCARmed gel is recommended as a minimum treatment of 60-90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer to achieve the best possible results. Continued use of SCARmed is recommended until no further improvement is seen.

- SCARmed contains Silicone gel, which is completely compatible with human biology. Silicone gel is transparent and does not contain any artificial fragrances or parabens.
