Comparing scar treatments
Silicone is one of the most widely recommended non-invasive options for improving the look of scars. Dermatix is a silicone gel that dries to a thin, breathable layer — a good choice for the face, joints and awkward areas where a sheet won't stay put. Silicone sheets are an alternative for flat, accessible scars. Both work gradually over weeks to months on fully healed skin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Gel or silicone sheet — which is better?
Gels like Dermatix suit the face, joints and irregular areas and are discreet under clothing; sheets suit flat, accessible scars. Both are silicone-based and work similarly.
When can I start using Dermatix?
Use it on healed skin only, once the wound has fully closed — never on open or broken skin.
How long until I see results?
Scar treatment is gradual; apply consistently twice daily over several weeks to a few months.
