About this deal
Topical silicone gel versus placebo in promoting the maturation of burn scars: a randomized controlled trial. Topical silicone gel is also effective for the treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars and of post-laser exfoliation erythema.
No keloid scar formation after 6 months of treatment with Dermatix Ultra silicone gel; the patient (currently aged 42 years) has a nice, flat 1-line scar (pre-treatment photo not available) (case 11).
Dermatix has been shown to soften, flatten and smooth scars, and to relieve the itching and discomfort associated with them. All experts agreed that the vitamin C ester lipids in the formulation improve its lightening effect and that prescribing the gel early (once sutures are removed) helps prevent scar formation, including keloid.
