Dermatix^® - Topical Silicone Gel for scar prevention in freshly healed wounds and reduction of prominent immature scars.

Dermatix^® is a clear quick-drying gel that helps maintain the skin's moisture balance, whilst treating scars resulting from surgery, burns, and other injuries. Dermatix^® has been shown to flatten, soften and smooth scars, relieve the pain, itching and discomfort of scars as well as reduce any associated redness. Dermatix^® gel is easily applied to all areas of the skin, including the face, joints and flexures, and dries quickly to form an invisible "sheet ".

Dermatix^®, made using the same basic long chain polymers as Silicone Gel sheeting, is available in a tube. The gel, containing polysiloxane, is available in a tube of l5g.*

Dermatix^® is used for the treatment and prevention of keloids and hypertrophic scars (such as those resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma wounds and burns), ideally used just after the wound has freshly healed and the skin surface becomes intact. It may also be used for prominent red immature scars that are actively healing; often up to two years post wound closure.

• Face, neck, all flexible body parts
• Linear scars (post-operative)
• Breast surgery

Dermatix^® gel is very simple to apply and should be used at least twice a day:

The recommended minimum duration of treatment is two months. Continue to use Dermatix^® for as long as benefits are experienced.

• Dermatix^® should not be placed in contact with mucous membranes, or applied too close to the eyes.
• Dermatix^® should not be applied over other skin treatments without the advice of your doctor.

Rarely, the gel may cause redness, pain or irritation to the skin. If you are concerned about these or any other unwanted effects, consult your pharmacist or doctor.
