Helps flatten scars and reduce discolouration.
Dermatix Gel is a silicon-based scar treatment. It works in many ways to improve the appearance of scars by reducing discolouration, flattening the scar and increasing hydration.
To order Dermatix online, just answer a few questions about your health and get it delivered to your door the next working day.
Dermatix is a silicone-based gel used for the treatment and prevention of keloid scars. Silicone gel has many properties that make it an effective ingredient for wound healing. It can increase hydration and regulate the production of fibroblasts, cells that play an important role in wound healing, to reduce keloid formation.
Keloid scars are a result of abnormal wound healing. The regular healing process consists of three phases: inflammation, fibroblastic and maturation. However, in keloids, the fibroblastic phase is unregulated. This causes excess growth of scar tissue that can be painful, tender, itchy and inflamed. By using Dermatix gel, you can soften and flatten the scars, whilst also removing the discomfort and irritation associated with it.
Dermatix gel contains silicone, a common ingredient that helps reduce scarring and aid in wound healing. Silicone has many properties that make it great for preventing and treating scars. It can:
Dermatix has additional benefits to improve the appearance of scars, such as softening and smoothing scars, as well as reducing discolouration.
Dermatix comes in two different forms: a gel and a silicon sheet.
Dermatix Gel is a clear gel that's odourless and self-drying. It comes in two sizes, a 15g tube which is used for smaller scars, and a 60g tube for bigger scars.
Dermatix Silicone Sheet is like a sticker that's applied to your scars to reduce their appearance. It’s available as either a clear or fabric-backed sheet. Both can be washed and reused multiple times.
How we source info.
When we present you with stats, data, opinion or a consensus, we’ll tell you where this came from. And we’ll only present data as clinically reliable if it’s come from a reputable source, such as a state or government-funded health body, a peer-reviewed medical journal, or a recognised analytics or data body. Read more in our editorial policy.
Remove the cap from the tube and cut the tip. Wash the affected area and pat dry. Apply a small amount of gel and gently massage it in. Allow it to dry before applying another product on top. Apply it twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, for a minimum of two months.
Treating keloid scars will take a long time, especially if your scar isn’t fresh. Although silicone gel can treat keloid scars, it will take a long time to see a noticeable difference. One study found it took 6-12 months of consistent silicone gel use to get the best results.
Silicone gel is a safe treatment that shouldn't cause you much trouble, even if used incorrectly. If you accidentally apply too much, you can simply wipe off the excess. Just make sure not to apply it to an unhealed open wound or close to your eyes, as this might irritate you.
