Description

Silicone can be used for improving the appearance and textures of scars, and is often recommended by healthcare professionals. and labelled as the ‘gold standard’ of scar treatment. You can use these silicone strips once your practitioner gives you the okay to apply topical products to your c-section skin - this is usually at your six-week check up.

These silicone strips create a physical barrier between your fragile new skin and the world, while promoting moisture retention. This contributes to a smoother, softer, and less noticeable scar appearance.

Features

• There are very few risks associated with applying silicone strips topically, as its non-invasive, safe to use while breastfeeding, and suitable for all skin types.
• The strip provides the slightest amount of pressure to your scar for enhanced protection and moisture retention.
• They can be worn all day every day, to continually minimise the appearance of your scar.
• They’re ultra-thin, flexible, durable, and soft, so you won’t notice you’re wearing it.

• Wash hands.

• Remove the silicone strip from the clear packet and peel it from the plastic liner.
• Place the sticky side of the strip on your scar so it covers the entirety.
• You can wear your silicone strip for a minimum of 12 hours per day, up to 24.

Care
