Scarban silicone gel is a medical device. Follow the instructions that come with the product. And always follow the advice of your practitioner. This page provides a brief outline of instructions for use.
Instructions for use
- For optimum results preferably start Scarban Velvet Touch silicone gel treatment immediately after wound closure (after removing sutures and the disappearance of any scabs)
- A small amount of silicone gel per treatment is sufficient. For optimal therapy, apply a small amount of silicone gel to the scar twice a day with a smooth motion.
- Reapply Scarban Velvet Touch silicone gel after intensive activity (sports) and contact with water (showering, swimming).
- If desired, Scarban Velvet Touch gel can be combined with make-up after drying.
Scarban Velvet Touch silicone gel is quite concentrated, so you only need a little to cover your scar. Here's how to use it right:
- Make sure the gel covers your entire scar, including the edges.
- It should spread smoothly, dry quickly, and feel soft and non-sticky.
- When it feels silky soft, that means the protective layer on your skin is formed.
- To wash it off, use a gentle soap.
Here are some important warnings to keep in mind when using Scarban Velvet Touch:
- If your skin gets irritated, stop using the gel for a while. You can wash it off with a gentle soap.
- Only start using it again when your skin calms down. If the irritation continues, talk to your doctor.
- Don't use it directly on open wounds, inflamed, or unhealed skin.
- Don't eat or swallow it.
- Keep it away from your eyes, and don't put it on your mucous membranes.
- Keep it out of reach of kids, but it's safe for them to use.
- Don't use it with other skin creams unless your doctor says it's okay.
