Why Choose BIOCORNEUM for Surgical Scars
- Built for post-procedure scars: Silicone therapy is widely used in professional scar management. BIOCORNEUM is formulated to fit real recovery routines with a thin, fast-drying application.
- SPF 30 helps protect appearance: Surgical scars are vulnerable to UV exposure, especially in early healing. SPF 30 supports protection against darkening and uneven tone.
- Twice-daily simplicity: Consistent use matters. BIOCORNEUM is designed for morning and evening use without complicated steps.
- Wearable and discreet: The gel dries to an invisible layer that can be easier to stick with compared to products that feel greasy or rub off.
Trusted by plastic surgeons and dermatologists nationwide, BIOCORNEUM is clinically studied for scar management.
How to Use After Surgery
Application Instructions
- Start on closed skin only: Use after the wound has fully closed and your stitches or staples are removed, unless your surgeon instructs otherwise.
- Clean and dry the area: Gently wash the incision area and pat dry. Do not apply over wet skin.
- Apply a very thin layer: A little goes a long way. Spread evenly over the scar and slightly beyond the edges.
- Let it dry: Allow 4 to 5 minutes to dry before covering with clothing or applying cosmetics.
- Use twice daily: Apply morning and evening. Reapply after swimming or heavy sweating.
Treatment Timeline
- New surgical scars: Continue for at least 60 to 90 days for best results.
- Older scars: Continue for 90+ days. Some patients use longer depending on scar maturity and provider guidance.
Safety notes: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if irritation occurs and contact your healthcare provider with concerns. Results vary by individual, scar type, and adherence to the treatment protocol.

Common Questions
When should I start using a scar cream for surgery?
Start only after your incision is fully closed and stitches or staples are removed, unless your surgeon gives different instructions. Applying scar products on open wounds can irritate healing skin and increase risk. If you are unsure when your wound is considered closed, ask your surgeon for a clear start date.
Is BIOCORNEUM considered a good surgical scar cream option?
BIOCORNEUM is a clinically studied silicone scar gel used by many plastic surgeons and dermatologists for scar management. It combines silicone therapy with SPF 30, which is helpful because UV exposure can make surgical scars look darker. Consistency matters most, so choose a product you can apply twice daily.
How long does the 20g tube last for post surgery scar care?
The 20g size typically lasts about 4 to 6 weeks for a medium scar when applied as a thin layer twice daily. Scar length, number of scars, and how much gel you use can change that timeline. If you want to cover a full 60 to 90 day protocol, consider the 50g size.
Can I use BIOCORNEUM with makeup or sunscreen?
Once BIOCORNEUM dries (about 4 to 5 minutes), you can apply cosmetics over it. Because BIOCORNEUM includes SPF 30, it provides daily sun protection for the treated area. If you are outdoors for extended periods, follow your provider’s guidance about reapplication and additional sun protective measures.
What should I use for bruising along with a scar treatment?
For bruising that commonly follows procedures, you may want a targeted bruise product alongside scar care. Advanced Bruise Cream is formulated for post-procedure discoloration support. It can be used on bruised areas as directed, while BIOCORNEUM is reserved for closed incisions and scars. Ask your provider how to coordinate use.
