If you have an abnormal scar or want to prevent abnormal scarring, silicone therapy is recommended. Silicone scar therapy is the most effective non-invasive scar treatment. Silicone scar sheets are a great option to treat your scar.

What are silicone scar sheets?

Silicone scar sheets are self-adhesive sheets made from medical grade silicone. They can also be called silicone scar tape or silicone scar strips or patches. Silicone sheets are commonly used by professionals in silicone treatment for the treatment and prevention of hypertrophic and keloid scars.

Silicone scar therapy is the most widely accepted scar treatment by professionals worldwide and is supported by the most scientific evidence. BAPSCARCARE and Scarban silicone products are specifically developed for treating and preventing scars. The silicone sheets of these two brands come in two variants. 

Which silicone sheet is best for your scar?

That depends mostly on the location of your scar. For locations that commonly need scar treatment we have also developed pre-shaped silicone sheets for areas such as the breast, c-section, abdomen, face and hands or fingers. View the advantages of each type of silicone sheet below:

How do silicone scar sheets work?

The use of silicone patches ensures that the skin function is temporarily taken over. The bandage covers the scar and imitates healthy skin. This protects the skin from excessive moisture loss. This ensures that scar symptoms decrease and that the scar becomes less visible.

The result of treatment with silicone scar sheets

If you treat your scar with a proven effective silicone scar sheet, you can expect improvements in the appearance and symptoms of the scar. However, the result is also affected by your use of the sheets. The below effects are proven to occur if the sheets are used correctly, consistently and over a long period of time.

The effects of BAPSCARCARE and Scarban silicone sheets:

  • Scars become flatter
  • Redness decreases
  • The scar stops pulling at the skin
  • Itching reduces
  • Movement of joints limited by the scar increases

Does silicone scar tape reduce wrinkles?

No. Wrinkles are the result of ageing. Silicone therapy is not meant to be used for wrinkles. Silicone therapy is proven to be an effective treatment for abnormal scars, because it increases the hydration of the skin. In theory, this effect might make it beneficial for wrinkles. It might make them less visible due to the increased hydration state, but there is no scientific evidence that supports this.

Proven effective silicone scar sheets

When you look into silicone scar tape or sheets for your scar, it is important that you purchase a product that is proven to be effective. The effect of BAPSCARCARE and Scarban silicone sheets is supported by scientific evidence. This way, you can expect improvements in the appearance and symptoms of the scar, when you use the products according to instructions and for the right period of time.

Silicone scar sheets with UV protection

UV protection is essential for optimal scar healing. If your healing scar (usually under 2 years old) is exposed to UV rays, permanent discolouration can occur. UV rays usually cause darker discolouration. To prevent this, UV protection is necessary. Scarban silicone sheets provide UV protection, while also providing active treatment for your scar. 

Is your scar in a visible location, such as the face? You can use BAPSCARCARE gel with SPF 40 to protect and treat your scar. This gel can also be worn under make up.

Use silicone scar sheets with ALHYDRAN

If your scar is dry or simply to supplement your silicone scar treatment, you can use ALHYDRAN together with your silicone scar sheets. ALHYDRAN is a scar cream that is scientifically proven to be effective. It is ideal to use before applying your scar sheet and to use on your scar when the sheet is drying after washing.
