Is it safe to use silicone gel scar patches on sensitive skin?

After the wound has healed, scar repair is also crucial, especially for those caused by trauma, surgery, or burns. Silicone Scar Dressing is a widely used scar repair dressing, but is it safe to use silicone scar sheets for sensitive skin?


What is the mechanism of action of Silicone Scar Dressing?

The main scar reduction mechanism of silicone scar sheets is that the high-purity medical silicone component inhibits the proliferation of fibroblasts and capillaries, thereby preventing the fading of scar color. It promotes the softening, smoothing, and discoloration of scars by providing a moist environment. In addition, silicone scar sheets can also protect scars from external stimulation. These properties make silicone scar sheets play an important role in scar repair.

Is it safe to use on sensitive skin?

Generally, sensitive skin usually reacts strongly to external stimuli, so special attention should be paid when using silicone scar sheets. Multiple studies have shown that silicone scar sheets are considered safe for people with sensitive skin because they are composed of medical-grade silicone, which is gentle and non-irritating. Silicone scar sheets are safe to use. However, it should be noted that the advice and guidance of professional doctors should be followed during use to ensure that the use of silicone scar sheets will not cause adverse effects on the skin.
