Clear answers.

Strataderm dries into its own thin silicone film, so there is no sheet to cut or tape in place. The gel can be used on joints and hairy areas without shaving. This practical difference does not establish that gel is better for every scar or free from skin reactions. Your clinician can help choose an appropriate form of silicone therapy.

Strataderm is a silicone formulation intended for scar therapy. Household silicone products are made for different purposes and should not be substituted for a product intended for use on skin.

Skin reactions are possible. If redness, pain or skin irritation occurs, discontinue treatment and consult your physician. Follow the warnings in the leaflet supplied with your product.

The ingredients listed in the patient leaflet are polydimethylsiloxanes, siloxanes and alkylmethyl silicones. Strataderm contains no alcohol, parabens or fragrances.

No, Strataderm is odourless.

The patient leaflet states that Strataderm can be applied to hairy areas without shaving. Apply a very thin layer to clean, dry, healed skin and allow it to dry as directed.

Strataderm must not be used on open wounds; please refer to our product Stratamed.

The patient leaflet states that Strataderm is suitable for infants and children, including sensitive skin. Use only as directed on closed, healed skin. If redness, pain or irritation occurs, stop use and consult your physician.

The patient leaflet states that Strataderm is suitable for pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Follow your local product instructions and consult your physician if you have questions about your individual care.

Strataderm is designed for all skin types, including sensitive skin. This is not a guarantee of the same result for everyone or suitability for every scar. Use only on closed, healed skin and check the leaflet for warnings.

Please refer to our product Stratamark which is a novel topical medical device specifically designed for the prevention and treatment on stretch marks.

No. Strataderm addresses external skin damage only.

The leaflet includes scars from burns. Use only on closed, healed skin, not on an active burn or open wound. Strataderm must not be applied to third-degree burns. Your burn-care clinician can advise when scar therapy is appropriate.

No. However you can apply a sun protection or cosmetics on top of Strataderm, once it is completely dry.

The recommended minimum treatment time is 60–90 days. Larger and older scars may take longer. The patient leaflet recommends continued use until no further improvement is seen. This is not a promise of improvement by a particular date. Discuss concerns about your scar or treatment progress with your physician.

Start only when the skin is closed and healed, following your surgeon’s advice. Removal of stitches alone does not mean every wound is ready for scar therapy. Do not apply Strataderm to an open wound.

There is no need to use tape over Strataderm. If the scar is on an area of the body that may get bumped and scraped, cover it with gauze or a pad.

The patient leaflet says to avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes. Ask your physician before using scar therapy on an eyelid or close to an eye; do not apply Strataderm directly in the eye.

Avoid contact with the eyes. If gel enters an eye, rinse it out thoroughly with water or an eye-wash solution. Consult your physician if irritation occurs. Do not assume that stinging or irritation is harmless.

Strataderm is for external use only. Avoid mucous membranes and do not apply inside the mouth. Ask your physician whether it is appropriate for a scar on or close to the lips.

For best results, Strataderm should remain in continuous contact with the skin. Do not apply over other skin treatments without your physician’s advice. Ask your physician how to coordinate any other products with your scar-care routine.

Strataderm forms a film that helps the scar retain moisture. Do not apply over other skin treatments without your physician’s advice. Once the film is dry, the leaflet permits sunscreen and cosmetics on top.

Strataderm should be applied gently as a very thin coat on the affected area. The area should be clean and dry. Strataderm will stay on top of the skin, therefore rubbing is not required and will not increase the effectiveness.

Check the expiration (EXP) date printed on your tube and its box. Do not use Strataderm after that date. Refer to the leaflet supplied with your product for storage and handling instructions.
