Yes, Silagen products are manufactured with a specially formulated medical-grade silicone, developed to be non-toxic and non-irritating. It is bio-compatible and does not absorb into the skin. It stays on the surface to provide a protective barrier layer. It is safe for use on children and adults as well as all skin types.

Yes, clinical studies have shown that silicone sheeting and gel are effective for many patients in improving older red and raised scars. Improvements include softening, flattening, and a reduction in discoloration. However, in general, the sooner the products are applied after the scar has formed, the better the expected results.

Silagen should be used until you stop seeing improvement. Total treatment time is usually 3 months.

Silagen sheeting is ideal for flat areas where it can stay in place during the day. Silagen gel is better for areas where sheeting may not adhere well or for nighttime use. Many people use both; sheeting during the day and gel at night, for continuous care.

Silagen sheeting and Silagen gel are often used in combination, but not at the same time.
