Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Scarban Silicone Gel

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.
