Keloid Scar Treatment – Reasons To Choose A Silicone Gel Over Sheets To Treat Keloid Scars
Silicone gels are the new generation of effective keloid scar treatments. There are significant arguments for choosing a silicone based keloid scar treatment over the older silicone sheet method.
How Silicone Gel Protects
Silicone gel forms a protective cushion over a scar. The healing silicone goes to work on scar tissue while guarding against infection and outside irritants.
How Silicone Sheets Work
Silicone sheets are placed over the keloid. When the sheet remains in place, the scar is protected from irritants and the gel is delivered to the scar but also to surrounding skin.
Which Works Best?
What works is (silicone). The best way to get (silicone) to the scar is a matter of common sense. Dermatological researchers in New York found there was no statistical difference between gels or sheets in a keloid treatment.
Here’s why silicone scar gel is the common sense choice:
1. A gel is more flexible.
2. A gel is much more specific.
3. A gel is the least expensive.
4. A silicone based scar treatment aids massage which speeds healing.
1. Scar Gels are Flexible.
• A silicone keloid treatment bends with the skin. The protective layer of silicone is applied directly to the keloid scar. It dries, and stays.
• People using silicone sheets complain the tape won’t stick on moving skin. Irritating air/water can get to the painful keloid.
• Keloids are very common on earlobes due to piercing. A silicone sheet is difficult to attach to that small area of skin.
2. Keloid Scar Treatment Gels are Specific.
• You apply gel directly to the keloid. A finger or cotton swab is clearly more accurate in putting the gel exactly where it helps.
• A silicone sheet taped over the scar delivers silicone to a wide area of skin, not just the keloid. (Silicone) is only helpful on the scar.
• As mentioned, silicone sheets come loose especially if they are placed on flexible parts of the body. The scar may get nothing while surrounding skin gets the silicone.
3. Scar Gels are the Least Expensive Option.
• You are in firm control of the amount of gel you use. Since you use only as much of the (silicone) gel as you need to cover the scar, you waste none of it and use less.
• You cannot control the amount of silicone the keloid scar gets from silicone sheeting. They waste silicone on surrounding skin and must be replaced when they come off.
4. A Silicone Gel Aids Massage, Which Speeds Healing
• Research finds simple massage of a keloid scar helps break down tough fibers.
• Doctors suggest massaging the scar at least twice a day.
• With gel, this part of Scar Treatment can be done when you apply the gel, which is also recommended twice a day.
• Massaging a silicone sheet would invariably cause the tape to come loose.
Silicone dressings are frequently used after medical keloid scar removal. A study of this also finds silicone based gels are as effective as silicone sheeting for keloid scar treatment.
