Product Description
Widely used by hospitals, dermatologists, and surgeons, Cica Care is a self-adhesive gel sheet used in the management and reduction of hypertrophic and keloid scars. In fact, it's been proven to be 90% effective in improving red, dark, or raised scars. It isn't just for fresh or new scars either, Cica Care can actually improve scars that are up to 20 years old! Even the itching and discomfort that usually accompany red or raised scars can be alleviated. Available in 12cm x 15cm gel sheets, it can be cut to fit most any scar. The average treatment time of individual scar is 2-4 months. With each active piece lasting 14-28 days, the cost effectiveness of Cica Care is clear.
Cica Care is extraordinarily comfortable because of its unique combination of both a silicone membrane and gel. This combination also makes it more durable and less likely to crumble than other silicone gel sheets. This durability also makes it possible for the sheet to be used both day and night. Cica Care can be easily cleaned. Bathing is also simple as Cica Care can be removed and then replaced on the skin.
For added convenience, one side of the gel sheet is self-adhesive meaning that no tape or extra bandages are necessary when applying the dressing. You can place the sheet on any scars from accidents, burns, surgery, cuts, or other injury to any part of the body. Even sensitive surfaces of the face can be treated with the gel sheet. It's also great for use on anatomically awkward locations, including earlobes and sternal areas. It works by occluding the skin and in turn, hydrating the scar area. This will effectively lock moisture into the skin surrounding the scar which reduces the blood supply to the area. By reducing the blood supply, the amount of collagen deposited in the area is reduced and the scar tissue will become paler in color; becoming increasingly closer to the natural color of your skin.
