Dermatix - Silicone Gel Scar Reduction

15g

Dermatix Silicone Gel is a transparent, self-drying topical Silicone Gel that maintains the skin's moisture balance, while helping to manage scarred skin surfaces that have occurred from surgery, burns and other injuries. Dermatix has been shown to flatten, soften and smooth scars, relieve the itching and discomfort of scars as well as reduce the discolouration associated with scars.

Dermatix gel is easily applied to all areas of the skin, including the face, joints and flexures, and dries rapidly to form an invisible "sheet". Dermatix was developed using the same basic long chain polymers as topical silicone gel sheeting, but it is available in a tube. It contains polysiloxane, silicon dioxide. The gel is supplied in tubes of 15g.

What is Dermatix gel used for?

Dermatix is used for the management of scars after the wound has healed and the skin surface is intact, and in the prevention of scar development in the form of keloids and hypertrophic scars resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma wounds and burns.

How to use:

Dermatix must not be used on broken skin. Be careful if applying Dermatix around your eyelids to avoid contact with the eye. The gel should be applied in a very thin layer to the affected area twice daily following the instructions below:

• Clean the area to be treated with mild soap and water, pat dry
• Gently spread a very thin coat over the affected site.
• Allow to air dry for 4-5 minutes before covering with clothing or make up
• (Please be aware that Dermatix may stain clothing if it is not completely dry)
• If Dermatix has not dried within 4-5 minutes you have used too much, remove the excess and allow the drying process to continue. Cosmetics can be applied over Dermatix following complete drying. Dermatix can also be used on children.
• The recommended minimum duration of use is 2 months. Further benefits may result from extended use.
