How Cica-Care works?

  • It is an advanced form of silicone contained within a gel sheet that provides a comfortable, convenient treatment for red, dark or raised scars
  • It has been widely used in hospitals by dermatologists and surgeons
  • The majority of red, raised and dark scars improve when it is used
  • It may occlude the skin to hydrate the scar area
  • This means moisture is locked into the skin around the scar
  • The effect of this is to make the scar tissue paler in color, closer to the natural color of your skin

How to use Cica-Care?

There are 8 simple steps for the usage of Cica-Care:
  • Step 1:
  • Wash your hands before use and then gently clean the scar and surrounding skin Thoroughly dry the area before applying Cica-Care
  • Step 2:
    • Peel the lid from the tray containing Cica-Care and remove the gel sheet
  • Step 3:
    • With a pair of scissors, cut the sheet to the size of the scar - allowing a little overlap all the way round
    • Store the remaining gel sheet in a cool dry place, like the tray the gel came in
  • Step 4:
    • Remove the printed plastic sheet to reveal the adhesive
  • Step 5:
    • Apply adhesive side down, to the scarred area without stretching the strip
    • If scar is in an awkward position you may wish to use a light bandage or tape to keep in position
    • Do not hold the gel sheet too tightly to the skin as this may cause irritation of the scar and surrounding area
  • Step 6:
    • Cica-Care should be applied to the scar for 4 hours on the first two days of use
    • The application time should then be increased by 2 hours a day to enable your skin to get used to the gel strip
  • Step 7:
    • Clean Cica-Care twice daily with a mild soap such as baby shampoo
    • Once you have cleaned the gel strip, rinse it well
  • Step 8:
    • Dry the strip with a non-fluffy towel before re-applying
    • Ensure the scar and surrounding area is washed too
