SMITH+NEPHEW CICA-CARE◊ SILICONE GEL SHEET
SCAR CARE SILICONE GEL SHEET FOR HEALED SKIN
Silicone Scar Care For Fully Healed Scars Hypertrophic Scars Keloid Scars Cut-to-size・Reusable
CICA-CARE◊ Silicone Gel Sheet by Smith+Nephew is a professional silicone scar care sheet designed for fully healed scars. It is suitable for surgical scars, Caesarean section scars, burn or scald scars, hypertrophic scars and keloid scars. It helps soften, flatten and fade red, raised, firm or itchy scars, supporting a smoother, softer and more natural-looking scar over time.
The Wound Academy Professional Note: Scar care should only begin when the wound is fully closed and healed. Do not apply scar silicone sheets on wounds with exudate, scabs, redness, infection, stitches or unhealed skin. CICA-CARE◊ is more suitable for scars that remain red, raised, firm, itchy or have a tendency to become hypertrophic or keloid scars.

Why Does a Scar Need Care?
Some scars may become red, firm, raised, itchy or painful after the wound has healed. This may be related to excess collagen formation during skin repair. Silicone scar sheets help protect and hydrate the scar surface, supporting scar softening and flattening over time. Silicone therapy is commonly used in clinical scar management.
