The Ultimate Scar Care Regimen
Scar Fx Silicone Sheet FAQ's
How long after my tummy tuck can I start using this bundle?
Most surgeons recommend beginning scar treatment once your incision is fully closed and healed, typically 2-4 weeks post-surgery. Always consult with your plastic surgeon before starting any scar treatment regimen to ensure your incision is ready.
What's included in the Tummy Tuck Scar Bundle and how long will it last?
The bundle is specifically designed to provide a complete scar management system for tummy tuck incisions. Treatment duration varies based on scar length and application frequency, but most customers find the bundle provides 2-3 months of consistent use when following the recommended protocol.
Can I use this on both new and old tummy tuck scars?
Yes. Medical-grade silicone is clinically proven to improve both fresh scars (within the first year) and mature scars (older than one year). While newer scars typically respond faster, older tummy tuck scars can still see improvement in texture, color, and overall appearance with consistent use.
Will this help with the redness and raised texture of my tummy tuck scar?
Yes. Medical-grade silicone has been clinically shown to reduce scar redness (erythema), flatten raised or hypertrophic scars, and improve overall texture. The hydration and occlusion provided by silicone create an optimal healing environment that helps normalize collagen production.
How do I apply the products for best results?
For optimal results, cleanse the scar area and apply the silicone scar gel in a thin layer 2-3 times daily, allowing it to dry completely. Silicone sheets can be worn for up to 12 hours and are ideal for overnight treatment. Consistency is key—most patients see visible improvement within 8-12 weeks.
How can I take care of my Silicone Sheets for long-lasting use?

Is this safe to use if I have sensitive skin or a history of keloid scarring?

However, if you have a history of severe keloid formation, we recommend consulting your surgeon for personalized guidance.
