Hypertrophic scars are an abnormal healing response of the skin after injury, characterized by excessive growth of scar tissue that protrudes above the skin surface, causing trouble to many patients. In recent years, silicone gel scar patches have been widely used in removing hypertrophic scars due to their good therapeutic effects and convenience. This article will introduce in detail the working principle, usage and precautions of Silicone Scar Stickers to help readers better understand and use this product.
1. Working principle of Silicone Scar Stickers
The main component of Silicone Scar Stickers is silicone, which is a polymer material with good breathability and moisturizing properties. Silicone gel scar patch can closely fit the skin and provide a moist, hypoxic and sterile environment for scar tissue, thereby inhibiting the proliferation of scar tissue and promoting softening and healing of scars. In addition, silicone gel scar patches can also reduce water evaporation on the scar surface, keep the skin moist, and help reduce scar itching and pain.
2. How to use Silicone Scar Stickers
Clean skin: Before using silicone gel scar patch, first make sure the skin around the scar is clean and dry. You can wash your skin with a mild cleanser or water, then gently dry it with a clean towel.
Cut to the right size: Cut the silicone gel scar patch to the right size according to the size and shape of the scar. When cutting, be sure to keep the edges flat to avoid burrs.
Apply the scar patch: Gently paste the cut silicone gel scar patch on the scar to ensure a tight fit and no bubbles. If the scar is large, multiple scar patches can be used together.
Replace regularly: Silicone gel scar patches typically need to be replaced daily to maintain their cleanliness and effectiveness. When changing, pay attention to clean the skin and gently peel off the old scar patch to avoid excessive pulling of the skin.
Kind tips
Before using Silicone Scar Stickers, it is recommended to conduct a skin test to ensure that no allergies or adverse reactions will occur.
When using Silicone Scar Stickers, avoid excessive pulling or friction on the scar area to avoid affecting the healing effect of the scar.
