CICA-CARE◊
Silicone Gel
Clinically proven to help prevent and treat red and raised scars1,2, even up to 30 years old1,3,4.
Don’t let scars hold you back!
Silicone-based products such as sheets and gels are recommended as the gold standard, first-line, non-invasive option for both the prevention and treatment of scars5.
CICA-CARE Silicone Gel can help prevent, reduce or soften scars such as keloid and hypertrophic scars as well as scars from scalds, burns, plastic surgery and breast surgery1-3. It can be used for the management of new and existing scars2,3.
In fact, when CICA-CARE Silicone Gel is used correctly (as per the instructions for use), best results may be seen after 2-4 months treatment times2,3.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use.
