After a cut or surgical incision heals, you might wonder if there's a way to make the scar less noticeable. Pure Scar Care 100% Pure Silicone offers a medical-grade gel that can help soften, flatten, and reduce redness in a healed scar over time.
At ParsaMD in Beverly Hills, you'll find scar-care products that give you a practical step between basic wound care and more involved treatments. You can shop online or visit us in person.
How Does Silicone Gel Support Scar Care?
Your body forms a scar as it repairs an injury. How it looks in the end depends on things like the depth and location of the wound, how it heals, and whether you tend to get raised or discolored scars.
Topical silicone forms a flexible layer over healed skin. Studies show silicone gel can help improve a scar's color, height, and flexibility compared to no treatment or a placebo. Results vary, and no topical product can promise a scar will disappear.
Pure Scar Care uses 100% medical-grade silicone in a soft gel that's easy to apply. The gel works well on curved or visible areas where silicone sheets might feel bulky or won't stay put.
When Can You Start Using Silicone Scar Gel?
Wait until your wound is fully closed, and follow the instructions from your clinician. Don't use scar gel on an open incision, a draining wound, or any area that could be infected.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends proper wound care first and notes that silicone gel sheets may help after a wound heals. Your surgeon may give you a different timeline based on the procedure and your progress.
You might want to try silicone gel if:
- A surgical incision has closed, and your clinician has approved topical scar care.
- A scar feels firm, raised, or less flexible than the surrounding skin.
- You want a clear gel that fits easily into a daily routine.
What Can Pure Scar Care Do, and What Are Its Limits?
With regular use, Pure Scar Care can help your scar look flatter, softer, and less red as it heals. It won't erase a scar, fix a poorly placed incision, or treat a complication.
If your scar becomes more painful, warm, swollen, open, or starts to drain, you'll need professional care. Thick, itchy, fast-growing, or movement-restricting scars may also need more than a topical gel.
At Dr. Kami Parsa's Beverly Hills oculoplastic practice, we know your scar care needs to fit your procedure, incision location, and personal healing plan.
FAQs About Pure Scar Care
How long does silicone scar gel take to work?
Scars change slowly. You'll usually need to use the gel consistently for several weeks or months, depending on your scar and aftercare instructions.
Can silicone gel remove a scar completely?
No. Silicone gel can help a scar look and feel better, but no topical product can guarantee it'll go away completely.
