What is Scar Gel?
Scar Gel is a topical dermatological product composed of an innovative silicone-based formula. Its main function is to reduce the appearance of scars, making them flatter, smoother, and with a color closer to natural skin.

Protecting a new or existing scar with silicone has proven to increase the production of collagenase, an enzyme that beaks down excess collogen.
