FAQs
How long should I wear the Mederma Silicone Scar Sheet each day?
For optimal results, wear the sheet for 12-16 hours per day. Consistency is key to improving scar appearance.
Can I use this on a brand new scar?
Yes, Mederma Silicone Scar Sheets can be used on new scars as part of the healing process, typically after any stitches have been removed and the wound has closed.
How do I clean the silicone scar sheet?
Gently wash the sheet daily with mild soap and cool water. Rinse thoroughly and let it air dry completely before reapplying the protective film.
What does 'reusable for up to 21 days' mean?
With proper daily cleaning and care, a single Mederma Silicone Scar Sheet can maintain its effectiveness and adhesion for up to 21 days of use.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
The sheets are made with medical-grade silicone and are drug-free, making them generally well-tolerated. However, if you experience any irritation, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Can I cut the scar sheet to fit my scar?
While the sheets are flexible, cutting them may affect their adhesion and breathability. It is generally recommended to use the sheet as is, or choose a different size if available.
What types of scars can this product be used on?
The Mederma Silicone Scar Sheet is suitable for hypertrophic and keloid scars, as well as scars resulting from injuries, burns, and surgery.
Troubleshooting
Sheet is not adhering well
Ensure the skin is clean and completely dry. Re-wash the sheet with mild soap and water and allow it to air dry thoroughly before reapplying. Avoid using lotions or creams on the scar area before application.
Skin irritation or redness
Discontinue use immediately if severe irritation occurs. Ensure you are following the cleaning instructions and that the sheet is fully dry before application. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
Sheet losing flexibility
This may indicate it's nearing the end of its 21-day reusable life or has not been cleaned properly. Wash gently with mild soap and cool water and allow to air dry. If flexibility doesn't return, it may be time to replace the sheet.
Product does not seem to be improving scar
Scar improvement can take time and varies by individual. Ensure consistent daily use as directed. Results are typically visible within 4 weeks, but older or more severe scars may require longer treatment periods.
