Are Surgical Scars Preventable?
Although every surgical incision will result in a scar in some form, it is possible to diminish its appearance.
Starting treatment as early as 10-14 days post-surgery, once the surgical wound has fully healed, is advised to deter undesirable scar development and promote a flatter, softer, and lighter scar.
We recognize the emotional and physical impact scars can have and are confident that our Advanced Silicone Gel products provide the most efficient and non-invasive solution for scar management.
Why Silicone Gel/Sheets?
When applied to the scar area, the silicone gel creates a protective barrier that hydrates the skin, regulates collagen production, and promotes a more even skin texture.
This continuous hydration and regulation of collagen help to soften and flatten the scar tissue over time.
Additionally, the gentle pressure exerted by the gel on the scar can minimize its elevation, making it less noticeable.
Regular use of Silicone Scar Gel can significantly improve the appearance of surgical scars, making them smoother, flatter, and closer in texture to the surrounding skin.

Before & After
Using Silicone Gel

How Massaging Assists Healing
The clinical benefit of scar massaging is to increase the pliability of scars.
The mechanical disruption of fibrotic tissue can lead to changes in the expression of the extracellular matrix proteins and proteases.
This change can normalise growth factors and the structural and signalling milieu.
Alternative Methods for Scar Healing
Due to other factors such as genetics, wound location and general healing capabilities of an individual non-invasive methods may not be sufficient.
Other clinically proven methods supported by Doctors are:
Surgical Revision
Cryotherapy
Skin Grafting
Laser Therapy
FAQ
MediSil can be used as soon as the wound is fully closed (sutures removed, no scabbing or oozing). This is typically 10-14 days post-op. MediSil should NOT be used on skin with cracked or opened wounds.
Healing times vary both by individual and by type of scar. Some people begin seeing improvement in the first week but, in general, positive results are usually seen in 3 to 7 weeks with optimal results occurring after 3 months of use.
MediSil should be used until you stop seeing improvement. Total treatment time is usually 3 months. Some studies have shown improvements up to 6 months of use.
