How to use Dermatix Silicone Sheets
Regular use of Dermatix Silicone Sheet Clear or Dermatix Silicone Sheet Fabric can minimise existing hypertrophic scars and keloids or Dermatix silicone sheet may be used to aid in the prevention of hypertrophic scars and keloids.
Step 1: Remove Dermatix silicone sheet from its package. If necessary, use scissors to trim/cut the product to size. Dermatix silicone sheet should extend slightly beyond the area of the scar.
Step 2: Peel away the paper protective liner and save it for later use. Place Dermatix silicone sheet “sticky side” down, directly on the scarred area. Keep Dermatix silicone sheet in place for at least 12 hours and up to 23 hours per day.
Step 3: At least once a day, wash the scarred area and both sides of Dermatix silicone sheet with mild soap and water. Do not use a soap that contains moisturisers, lotions, or oils. A plain basic soap is recommended. Rinse Dermatix silicone sheet thoroughly to remove all traces of soap. Allow Dermatix silicone sheet to air dry or pat Dermatix silicone sheet dry with a lint free towel before reapplying. Between uses, store Dermatix silicone sheet using the paper protective liner.
How to use Dermatix Silicone Gel
Dermatix gel is very simple to apply and should be used at least twice a day:
Step 1: Clean the area to be treated with mild soap and water, pat dry.
Step 2: Gently massage a small amount of Dermatix gel over the affected skin.
Step 3: Allow to dry for 4–5 minutes before covering with clothing or make-up.
If Dermatix gel has not dried within 4–5 minutes, you may have used too much: remove the excess and allow the drying process to continue.
The recommended minimum duration of treatment is two months. Continue to use Dermatix for as long as benefits are experienced.
