The skin can be damaged in a multitude of ways, and this can be a significant burden to patients, particularly when it results in red, raised hypertrophic or keloid scarring. Restricted movement and itching can cause considerable discomfort, as well as emotional distress. Unacceptable scarring may be caused by a variety of factors, including burns, accidental trauma, and chronic wounds.

A scar is part of the body’s normal healing process. The type of scar that forms depends on several factors, including the nature of the injury, the area of the body affected, and the size and depth of the wound. Scars mainly consist of collagen, a protein that is one of the most common tissues in the body.

Keloid scarring occurs due to a build-up of collagen in the affected area, causing the scar to grow larger than the original wound. In contrast, hypertrophic scarring remains confined to the original wound area.

Silicone Gel Sheet is made from high-quality polysiloxane material. It is believed to promote hydration of the scar area, and this approach has been medically proven to improve scar appearance by softening, flattening, and reducing the redness of raised scars. Some injuries may leave a flat, white scar that typically fades over time; Lysil is not recommended for these types of scars.
