Clinical Evidence

A selection of clinical studies establishing the effectiveness of our medical grade silicone solutions for scar management:

Efficacy of silicone gel for treating hypertrophic scars and keloids

J Cutaneous Aesthet Surg. 2009 July-Dec; 2(2): 104–106.

“Arguably, only two treatments have sufficient evidence for scar management; local application of silicone gel sheeting and intralesional injection of corticosteroids. The former is generally indicated as both a preventive and a therapeutic device, the latter only as a therapeutic agent. Topical silicone gel sheeting is cumbersome to keep on the scar, and patient compliance is often low for lesions in visible areas.”
“Topical silicone gel is a safe and effective treatment for hypertrophic and keloid scars. It is easy to apply and cosmetically acceptable.”

Adv Wound Care (New Rochelle). July 1, 2015; 4(7): 422–430

"...concluded that clinical trials, which were used to evaluate silicone gel for the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars, demonstrate that there are improvements in scar thickness and scar color."
“The clinical support of topical silicone gel products against all alternative scar therapies is what has maintained its position as the internationally recommended first-line form of scar management favored by the consensus of healthcare professionals. Although steroid injections offer a significant positive impact on scarring, they remain a supportive treatment, in part, because of the associated expense and impracticality. Other existing treatments such as topical creams/gels and dressings containing active additives such as onion extract, vitamins C and E and moisturizing agents are often seen to provide little or no additional benefit over SGS itself.”

"There was statistical significance in the effectiveness of silicone gel and silicone gel sheets in preventing keloids or hypertrophic scars, particularly in wounds with skin lesions."

"...the study showed that silicone gel plus herbal extract gel could improve scar relief in height (p ¼ 0.005) and flexibility (p < 0.001) compared to placebo."

“Topical silicone gel was superior in reducing overall scar quality at 1 month and 3 months. Topical silicone gel was a superior product for the initial management of cesarean scars.”
