Background information ℹ️

I heavily emphasise pre-scar treatments as it makes a for a speedier recovery. Lots of my customers still think letting a scab form after an injury is a good thing-It’s not. The dead skin takes longer to slough off.

Rather we opt for a warm, moist environment using hydrogel technology to allow the new skin cells to multiply and migrate to the repair site faster. Combine this runny hydrogel within a pre-formed sheet is even better as it forms a better seal.

Scar Treatment ℹ️

Once the wound is fully healed and no longer bleeding and no signs of infection (pus) then we proceed with the silicone technology to modulate the scars. Scars can be raised, misshapen, discoloured red, and itchy. Silicone can improve all this but the form it comes in is critical.

Most of my customers ask for silicone “gel” but I tell them silicone (pre-fabricated) “sheets” are far superior for similar reasons to the above: better seal and pressure over the wound. Like diamonds 💎, only the best results are produced under pressure!

Wear the sheet on 24/7, 365 (x2). Scars take up to two years to go away and we can jump on this window to maximize cosmetic improvements.

Conditions ℹ️

If you're unsure if this product is for you, speak to your friendly neighborhood pharmacist or GP. Scars from acne require a different treatment.
