"Indeed, of the non-invasive options, silicone sheets and silicone gels are universally considered as the gold standard in scar management and the only non-invasive preventative and therapeutic measure for which there is enough supporting data to make evidence-based recommendations."

Doctors choose Silagen because it works!
CHRIS THIAGARAJAH, MD, FACS Park Avenue Oculoplastic Surgeon Denver, CO
"I recommend Silagen scar and bruise products post-surgery. They enhance the healing process and patients have much better cosmetic outcomes. It is amazing."
"I have been using Silagen products on our post operative patients for over 2 years. Patients are always impressed with their durability, ability to be reused, and overall quality. "
"At Reynolds Plastic Surgery, we're very particular about which retail products we carry in office. Silagen is one that I stand behind time and time again."
"We include the scar therapy strips with all of our cosmetic surgeries. Dr. Gonyon has believed in Silagen for the last 8 years and we do not offer any other scar treatments in our office."

Silagen Instructions
For Use and Cleaning
Sheeting
When Silagen sheeting becomes dirty or loses adhesiveness, wash gently with tap water and Silagen Clean foaming cleanser then air-dry before reapplying.
Wash at least every 5 days.
Do not apply NewGel+E topical silicone gel under NewGel+ sheeting or the sheeting will lose its stickiness.
Gel
Begin using NewGel+E when wound has healed or sutures have been removed. Do not use on any open wound.
Wash and dry the area being treated before every application of NewGel+E.
Apply a very small amount of NewGel+E to the area being treated, creating a thin layer covering the scar. Gently massage.
Once dry (typically 1 to 2 minutes), NewGel+E can be covered by clothing, cosmetics, sunblock and bandages.
Apply NewGel+E two to three times daily. Reapplication is recommended after bathing, swimming or exercising.
Do not apply NewGel+E topical silicone gel under NewGel+ sheeting or the sheeting will lose its stickiness.
