The Science
Behind
Biocorneum

Clinically backed silicone formula

BIOCORNEUM® is the only advanced scar treatment with Silishield® technology plus the protection of SPF 30. Discover the unique benefits of the silicone formulation in BIOCORNEUM for effective scar management.

BIOCORNEUM’s crosslinked silicone, Silishield, has been shown to be:

Effective

In preventing post-op scarring

  • The self-drying silicone gel used in the study was shown to be effective in reducing the hypertrophy rate of fresh surgical scars, and this type of treatment was rated as the first choice for preventing hypertrophy of recent scars.5
  • Treatment with silicone gel after incision resulted in 67% of scars being rated normal (versus 28% with no treatment), and 26% mildly hypertrophic (versus 45% with no treatment). These results were statistically significant.5

In treating existing scars

  • Silicone gel was used to treat both newly formed scars (< 3 months) and older scars (at least 4 years), and was shown to be effective at relieving scar symptoms.2
  • >70% to 85% of patients and physicians reported improvements in scar symptoms after treatment with silicone gel and more than 80% had high satisfaction in ease of use, cosmetic result, and overall satisfaction.2

Preferred over other therapies

Topical steroids

  • The repeated use of topical steroids is not desirable for extended periods and may cause more harm than benefit.4
  • Side effects of repeated topical steroid use include epidermal barrier disturbance and increased transepidermal water loss, delayed wound healing, atrophy, telangiectasia, hypopigmentation, and acne.4

Other therapies (onion extract, vitamin E)

  • Neither onion extract nor vitamin E have been shown to be efficacious in minimizing the severity of hypertrophic scars or promoting the resolution of existing scars.6
  • Vitamin E does not improve the appearance of scars and is not well tolerated by patients.7

Safe

  • BIOCORNEUM’s self-drying silicone gel, Silishield, caused no side effects such as maceration, rashes, infections, or irritation.5
  • 98.7% of physicians and 98.2% of patients rated tolerability of the patented silicone formulation as “very good” or “good.”2
