Scarban silicone sheets for scars
Scar care professionals recommend Scarban silicone sheets most often. The reasons for this include:
Scarban medical silicone sheets are self-adhesive, washable and can be used for a long period. A special cleaning gel, Scarban silicone cleaning soap, is included with the silicone sheet. Regular washing will ensure that the silicone sheet retains its qualities, including optimum adhesion.
The sheet consists of 100% medical silicone, with a stretchable layer and a protective layer. It is available in 2 versions, Light and Elastic. The Light version is thinner and more flexible than the Elastic version. This makes the Light version ideal for mobile areas such as over joints.

How does Scarban work?
A scar loses many times more moisture than the normal surrounding skin. The body responds to this by sending stimulating healing factors to the scar tissue, causing more connective tissue to be produced and hypertrophic or keloid scars to develop.
By covering the scar with Scarban, moisture loss is normalised to almost the same level as the surrounding skin. In response, the body stops supplying stimulating healing factors and the scar will become smoother, flatter, less red and calm more quickly. Any itching or irritation of the scar is also soothed or even removed.
