DermaScar Classic Silicone Gel 15g

DermaScar® is a simple and effective treatment for scars, especially raised (hypertrophic and keloid) scars. DermaScar® can be used to improve the appearance of a wide range of scars including those caused by physical trauma, burns and surgery. With regular use DermaScar® improves the long-term appearance of scars, making them flatter, paler, softer and more flexible.

Directions:

Apply DermaScar® twice daily – in the morning and evening. DermaScar® must be applied to dry, intact skin. If you have a scar from surgery, check that the wound has healed first before applying DermaScar®. This is typically 10 to 14 days after surgery. Before applying DermaScar® clean the area first with mild soap and water and then pat dry. Place a pea-size amount of gel at the tip of the scar and gently spread thinly over the affected area. A pea-size amount is enough to cover a 12cm scar. Allow the gel to dry for 1 to 2 minutes. Once dry, DermaScar® may be covered with cosmetics or sunscreen.

When should DermaScar® not be used?

• DermaScar ® should not be applied to open or fresh wounds.
• DermaScar ® should not be placed in contact with mucous membranes or applied too close to the eyes.
• DermaScar ® should not be applied over antibiotic skin preparations or other skin treatments and/or products.
• DermaScar ® should be applied to clean, dry skin only.

Are there any possible unwanted effects of DermaScar® gel?

Rarely, the gel may cause redness, pain or irritation to the skin. If you are concerned about these or any other unwanted effects, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
