Strataderm Silicone Scar Therapy Gel 5g Soften & Flatten Scars Reduces Itching
Tax included.
Once a day scar therapy gel used to prevent abnormal scarring, soften and flatten raised scars, reduce redness and discolouration, and reduces itching and discomfort of scars.
Why is once a day enough? The advanced formulation of Strataderm is a silicone gel that is applied in a thin layer to the affected skin to form a flexible, gas-permeable, self-drying and transparent gel sheet that adheres to the skin. This ensures a constant contact to the entire surface of the scar allowing it to work 24 hours a day.

Directions
On first use of 5 g, 10 g and 20 g tubes remove the cap, cut the nozzle tip of the tube and close with the cap after use. Ensure that the scar is clean and dry. Apply a very thin layer of Strataderm to the scar and allow to dry. Strataderm should be applied once daily, or twice daily to exposed areas or as advised by your physician. For best results Strataderm should maintain continuous contact with the skin (24 hours a day/ 7 days a week). When applied correctly, Strataderm should be dry in 3–4 minutes. If it takes longer to dry you have probably applied too much. Gently remove the excess with a tissue and allow the drying process to continue. Once dry, Strataderm can be covered with sunscreen, cosmetics, pressure garments or casts.
When used as directed Strataderm dries to form a silicone gel sheet, a protective layer that is gas permeable and waterproof which hydrates, softens and protects your scar.
