The Science of Scar Care

How Scars Form

How Scars Form

When the skin is injured, the body works quickly to repair itself, sometimes producing too much collagen in the process. This “overcorrection” can lead to raised, discolored, or uneven scars. As the skin tries to stay hydrated during healing, excess moisture often evaporates, signaling the body to keep producing collagen. Without balance, this cycle can result in abnormal scarring.

How Silicone Works

How Silicone Works

Silicone helps create the ideal environment for healing: a precise balance of moisture and oxygen. When applied to the skin, it forms a breathable barrier that locks in hydration while allowing oxygen to reach the scar site. This balance, known as homeostasis, helps signal the skin to slow excess collagen production, supporting smoother, softer, and less noticeable scars over time.

Why It Matters

Why It Matters

Consistent use of medical-grade silicone can dramatically improve a scar’s color, texture, and overall appearance. Clinically proven and recommended by physicians worldwide, silicone is safe, non-toxic, and effective on both new and old scars. It’s the gold standard in topical scar care, trusted by professionals, loved by patients, and proven to perform.
