Advanced scar therapy gel Strataderm is in a form of a silicone gel that is applied onto the wound to form a self drying, flexible, transparent and gas-permeable silicone gel sheet that sticks to the skin. This ensures a constant contact time to the entire surface of the scar allowing it to work 24 hours a day.
Strataderm can effectively be used on both old and new scars and is ideal for any irregular skin/scar surfaces, the face, moving parts such as joints, and any size of scar.
Strataderm has an advanced formulation and was developed having a superior durability, skin feel, and drying time using the newest silicone technology.
Strataderm is suitable for children and those with sensitive skin because it has a non-sticky, odourless formulation. It does not lead to secondary side-effects such as maceration, rashes, pruritus and infection.
Positive Effects of Strataderm
- Softens and flattens raised scars

- Prevents abnormal and excessive scar formation
Strataderm Application
- Ensure that the scar is clean and dry
- Apply a very thin layer and allow to dry (3-4 minutes)
- Strataderm should be applied once daily, and maintained in continuous contact with the skin (24 hours/day)
