◎ As the silicone gel dries, it forms a thick waterproof film that prevents moisture from evaporating through the skin, maintaining the moisture content of the skin’s stratum corneum and preventing or slowing down scar growth.

◎ The above principle shows that the function of the scar gel is not to treat the wound but to prevent excessive tissue growth after the wound has healed, so it is important to ensure that the wound has healed before using it. The sooner the scar gel is applied after the wound has healed, the more effective it will be in reducing the scar.

◎ In addition to early use, it must be used consistently to be effective. However, the timing of scar care products varies depending on the condition of the individual and should be assessed by a doctor before use.
