LIPOELASTIC TEAM Navigating post-surgery recovery can be daunting, especially when faced with the prospect of managing scars. However, with silicone sheets emerging as a promising solution, the path to smoother, less visible scars becomes clearer. In this patient-focused guide, we explore the science behind silicone's effectiveness and empower you with the tools to optimize your scar care routine through proper use and aftercare.
Why treat your post-surgery scars with Silicone?
Silicone treatment provides a nurturing approach to post-surgery scars, offering multiple benefits tailored to your healing journey. It preserves your skin's natural moisture, promotes regeneration, seamlessly merges the scar with surrounding tissue, prevents keloid and hypertrophic scars, and caters to both old and new scar tissue, ensuring a holistic and comforting recovery experience.
How to use Scar Sheets correctly
1. Apply scar sheet to a clean and dry scar, do not use on wet skin or open wounds that have not fully healed or are leaking – min. 3 days after stitches have been removed.
2. Cover the scar completely, if needed cut the sheet to a suitable shape that covers the parameters of the scar.
3. To let the skin acclimate with the gel sheet, start with 2 hours per day for the first 4 days then increase the hourly intervals as per your skin comfortability – remember to refer to instructions as given by your surgeon.
4. Remove the sheet when taking a shower, pat skin dry and reapply sheet onto the scar afterwards.
5. Use the product on a long-term basis for maximum results ( 8-16 weeks ).

How to care for your Scar Sheets
1. For the best results, wear the sheet periodically throughout the day – you may take it off during the night and cycle through each use with our LIPOELASTIC gel, when the silicone sheet is off you may use the gel to speed up scar recovery.
2. Clean the sheet with soft soap and warm water every time you take it off to extend the product longevity. Let it dry naturally, avoiding direct contact with the sun.
3. Use the transparent film for sheet storage.
4. The durability of the sheets varies upon proper use, they each last up to one month of use.
Within out scar management range, we also feature our bestselling scar gel that protects the skin, is non-sticky and easy to apply. Our LIPOELASTIC gel is enriched with vitamin E and is specially designed to treat and prevent abnormal scars, such as keloid and hypertrophic scars.
