What is Dermatix

Dermatix Scar Reduction Silicone Gel is a formula which is proven to reduce scars when used as directed, so it is the perfect solution for sufferers of scarring. It will work on all types of scar tissues both on new and old scars with regular use.

When the skin suffers certain traumas such as surgery, wounds or burns, it needs to heal. This happens via the skin producing scar tissue, which can have a different appearance to normal skin. It can be red and raised and tougher than that which was originally found there.

Scars generally take two forms – keloid and hypertrophic.

Keloid scars are raised and tend to be red, pink or even darker than the surrounding skin. They often develop after only minor skin trauma such as a spot or a piercing and can continue to grow thereafter.

Hypertrophic scars are often wide and raised and can be thickened skin too. They form at the exact place where your skin has suffered trauma, and again, they can be overproduced.

Whilst scarring is actually the body’s positive response to a wound or some other kind of trauma and shows its ability to improve the durability of the skin that was there before, some people find them unsightly and would seek to actively improve their appearance.

How does Dermatix scar reduction silicone gel work?

Dermatix Scar Reduction Silicone Gel uses a combination of silicon dioxide and polysiloxanes to treat the scar tissue and improve its appearance. The silicone barrier, which is created once the product is applied and dried, will protect the scar from infection (bacteria and infections can slow the healing process by causing increased inflammation) and will also improve its hydration by keeping moisture within the skin (water is required for the skin to heal itself). It is even thought to repel the cell types, which will promote the scar to grow to limit its size. Silicone also allows the skin to breathe whilst it heals and can result in a softer and flatter scar.

How effective is Dermatix scar reduction silicone gel?

Dermatix Scar Reduction Silicone Gel has performed well in tests which have shown it will soften, smooth and flatten down the scar tissue which has formed at the site of the injury. In addition, it has also been shown to reduce the amount of itching experienced when the skin heals and will also relieve some of the discomfort associated with the healing process. The colour of the scarred skin will also improve. The key benefits of using this product are:

• Softening and flattening of raised scars
• Red or darker scars will fade
• Itching and discomfort felt in the scar area will be relieved

In order to experience these benefits in full, it is recommended for use for a minimum of 2 months and even beyond that if positive effects are still being seen and if the scar is older.
