Visible scars—whether from surgery, acne, burns, or injury—can feel permanent. But here’s a hopeful truth: medical-grade silicone (in sheets, gels, or creams) has been proven to improve up to 90% of raised, discolored, or thickened scars. It’s easy, science-backed, and clinically recommended as the first-line treatment in scar management. (Mustoe, 2008).
How Silicone Makes Scars Smoother & Softer
-
Occlusion & Hydration
Silicone forms a breathable yet protective layer that helps seal in moisture. This hydration calms overactive scar cells and regulates collagen production—resulting in softer, flatter scars. (Gauglitz et al., 2011). -
Barrier Protection
By shielding the scar from friction, microbes, and UV light, silicone helps reduce irritation and discoloration. Consistent use minimizes itching and improves comfort. (Elsaie et al., 2013). -
Collagen Regulation & Temperature Support
The mild warmth created under the silicone enhances collagenase activity—encouraging healthy collagen remodeling and reducing excess buildup. (Gauglitz et al., 2011).
Why 90%? Here’s What the Research Says
In clinical studies:
-
86% of patients reported improvement in scar texture
-
84% saw color reduction
-
68% experienced scar height improvement
These results were based on daily use of silicone for 8–12 weeks, with continued improvement over 3–6 months (Mustoe, 2008).
