How does Silagen sheeting work?
Silagen silicone sheeting improves scars by providing a combination of occlusion, which seals the scar from exposure to air, hydration, elevated skin temperature, and continuous light pressure. This prevents the skin from producing excessive scar tissue and helps the scar to stay flat, soft, and less red.

How long will the Silagen gel sheet last?
When properly handled, each piece will last up to four weeks. Unused pieces are still ok to use for several years after purchase.

Can Silagen be used on children?
Yes, it is safe for use on children and adults.

If I’m using Silagen sheeting, do I also need Silagen gel?
Silagen sheeting and Silagen Gel are often used in combination, but not at the same time. Many people use one product during the day and the other at night to provide 24-hour-a-day coverage, especially for high-visibility areas such as the face, neck, hands, and legs. They should not be used together!

Can I cut Silagen sheets?
Yes, they can be cut to fit any scar. Simply make sure to cut Silagen so that it extends ½ inch on all sides of the scar.

How do I clean Silagen Sheeting?
If the Silagen strip becomes dirty or loses its stickiness, it may be washed gently with tap water and mild hand soap and then air-dried before reapplying. Silagen recommends washing it every 2-3 days.

Can I apply any other medications under Silagen?
No, nothing should be applied under Silagen sheeting. Any lotion or medication that gets under the sheet can cause Silagen to lose adhesion and effectiveness.

Should I take Silagen off when I shower, bathe, or exercise? 
Yes, removing Silagen sheeting whenever entering the water or exercising will prolong its life.

How do I store Silagen?
Keep packaging for storage of the product when not in use.
