Cica-Care Silicone Gel Adhesive Sheet (5" x 6") – Effective Scar Treatment

Product Overview

Cica-Care Silicone Gel Adhesive Sheet is a advanced scar management solution developed by Smith & Nephew, Inc., a trusted name in wound care. This 5" x 6" silicone sheet is designed to effectively treat hypertrophic and keloid scars, as well as other raised or discolored scars. The self-adhesive silicone gel sheet creates an optimal healing environment by maintaining moisture balance and applying gentle pressure, which helps to soften, flatten, and fade scars over time. Suitable for both new and old scars, Cica-Care is a non-invasive, easy-to-use treatment that can be worn discreetly under clothing.

Key Features and Benefits

• Clinically Proven Silicone Technology: The medical-grade silicone gel sheet is proven to reduce scar thickness, color, and hardness. It works by hydrating the scar tissue and regulating collagen production.
• Self-Adhesive and Reusable: The sheet adheres securely to the skin without the need for additional tapes or bandages. Each sheet can be reused for several weeks with proper care, making it cost-effective.
• 24-Hour Continuous Treatment: Designed for daily wear, the sheet can be worn for up to 24 hours, providing constant therapy to maximize results. It is comfortable and breathable, allowing for extended use.
• Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of scars, including surgical scars, burn scars, trauma scars, and scars from injuries. It can be cut to size for smaller scars or used as is for larger areas.
• Discreet and Comfortable: The transparent, flexible sheet conforms to body contours and is virtually invisible when worn. It is hypoallergenic and safe for sensitive skin.

How to Use

For best results, clean the scar area and surrounding skin with mild soap and water, then pat dry. Cut the Cica-Care sheet to the size of the scar, leaving a small margin around the edges. Remove the backing film and apply the adhesive side directly onto the scar. Gently smooth out any air bubbles. Wear the sheet for at least 12 hours per day, gradually increasing to 24 hours as tolerated. Remove the sheet daily to clean the skin and the sheet itself with mild soap and water. Allow the sheet to air dry before reapplying. Replace the sheet when it loses adhesion, typically after 2-4 weeks of continuous use. Treatment duration varies depending on scar type and age, but visible improvement is often seen within 2-3 months.

Who It Is For

Cica-Care Silicone Gel Adhesive Sheet is ideal for anyone seeking to improve the appearance of raised, thickened, or discolored scars. It is suitable for both adults and children (with adult supervision). It is particularly beneficial for individuals with hypertrophic scars (raised scars that stay within the wound boundary) or keloid scars (scars that extend beyond the original wound). It can also be used to prevent scar formation after surgery or injury. However, it should not be used on open wounds, infected skin, or areas with active dermatitis. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting treatment, especially for new surgical scars.
