CICA-Care Silicone Gel Sheet 12 x 15 Centimetre | Improves The Appearance of Scars

This silicone gel sheet is the highest quality you can find. It can be pricey, but it is worth the money!I had a surgery which left me 10 inch surgical site. I waited two weeks and starting using this product. It is soft and flexible, and you can cut this sheet into any size you want. It has an adhesive side, however since you have to wash this silicone sheet the adhesive over time will not be as the same when it was bought. However this can be easily fixed with transparent film dressing applied on top of the silicone.This silicone can be used at any stage of the scar wether it is new or old. It can prevent and reduce raised scars. Additionally it will reduce redness of the scar significantly. I highly recommend this product to anyone who has an old scar or anyone who is planning a surgery, it is a must in your arsenal.

Recommended by my therapist for scar treatment, along with massage therapy. This has been a success. Can cut to size if required and really does what it says it does on the label - sticks every time (I use it at night) and with a wash it's back to new again. Really effective, easy to use.

The silicone was easy to cut into strips, thick and high quality, but I struggled to get it to stick for long. Not sure if it’s my skin, the size of the scars or the product itself. It’s easy to clean and reuse, so if it does work for you, it’s good value for money compared to the scar gels.

BUY THIS it’s genuinely the best silicone sheet on the market. It is really thick and gives just the right amount of resistance to help your scar heal which, as I understand it, is the point of scar tape. I was able to cut my sheet into enough strips to easily cover my TT scar and my BA scars. It washes like a dream and despite wearing it every day for 4 weeks it’s still stays exactly where I put it. For anyone looking for true medical grade product this is the genuine item.

Had top surgery 2 months ago and my surgeon urged these as the best way to cap the overproduction of collagen as the scars knit together and repair themselvesI’ve got Caribbean heritage which means I’m more prone to keloid scarring - thicker, wider scars due to the overproduction of collagen.There’s a guide on the cica-care guide that explains how they work and how to better use them that my surgeon sat me down and talked me through! I would highly recommend reading it as its very valuable, esp in terms of duration of wear and how to build up the tolerance!I initially built up use and could feel them working - the scars initially felt more sensitive for the first few hours of use. But after a couple of weeks of building them up I just slap them on when I remember.The adhesion does reduce, but it’s been about 7 weeks and it’s only curling up at the edges - which is sorted with little bits of microporous tape! Which is how I strap the tape down to sleep in, as that’s a longer time period to wear them without having to stay aware of them.One thing I LOVE is that I noticed that when I’ve slept funny or slightly stretched the scars, it seemed to result in small patches of scar tissue that seemed more prominent- harder, thicker, raised slightly in bump away from the skin - I’ve slapped a strip on overnight and the next day the scars have FLATTENED. The white collagen-heavy scars have reduced and gone pink and flat (which is better to control the aesthetics of the healed scar).I would definitely recommend these. I think a bit of patience is needed as results aren’t instantaneous. I will expect to wear these for another 1-2 months at least until my scars seem to even out with collagen production.In terms of how much is in a pack: I have a thick strip I haven’t used from the original pack left, and have taken 5 thick strips from it that I’ve regularly used (& washed & reused!).I do expect to buy another pack, maybe in a couple of weeks, but I don’t necessarily think I would *need* to. More so I don’t have to continue adding tape to the ends and I know that whatever medical magic is topped up!

I know this product works for other people but it didn't for me. It is very effective when it does stick to you, but it didn't stick to me at all. Would fall off seconds after I put it on.

Excellent really good once the wound closed. I used Polymem with Manuka on the open wound, I then switched from Manuka to Aroma Labs Tamanu oil as it became drier, then progressed to Mepiplex Lite and Tamanu until it was closed and really healing well. Then when it was less raw I switched to silicone. This was following a senior nurses recommendation - she was happy with Manuka but unfamiliar with Tamanu. The tamanu gave me a radical change and works perfectly with the silicone. I use plastic tape also on Amazon to tape the silicone pad onto the skin and do so tightly for maximum compression. Compression is excellent. These really last and are worth their weight in gold for wounds. Also great post acupuncture or human regenerator to seal in the nourishment. 2 days later my wounds have totally transformed post treatment and using the patch. But you need the tamanu too and as much compression as you can create.

I have used a few other brands on my scars and while they have helped none of them were as effective as this, worth the money. The longer you have it on your scar the better it results, I only take it off to shower. Overall I am very happy with this purchase and will buy again if need be.
