Scarban Velvet Touch Silicone Gel Instruction Manual

Instructions for use

Title:
Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel.

Product description:
Scarban® Velvet Touch is a silicone gel for treating scars (hypertrophic and keloid) and for preventing abnormal scar development after surgery or an accident.

Composition:
Dimethicone, Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Cyclopentasiloxane, Cyclohexasiloxane.

Properties:

• Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel makes scars flatter, smoother and thinner and reduces complaints (persistent redness, pulling of the scar, itching, restriction of joint movement, discomfort and cosmetic concerns).
• Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel is a transparent gel which, thanks to its unique formulation, dries quickly and does not feel sticky.
• The gel provides a semi-occlusive layer on top of the skin, creating increased hydration of the skin (epidermis). The increased hydration ensures that the damaged scar skin recovers faster and reduces complaints.

Indications/areas of application:
Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel is suitable for:

• the treatment and prevention of abnormal scars (hypertrophic and keloid).
• the treatment of burn scars.
• the treatment of surgical scars.
• the treatment of persistent functional complaints caused by the scar (persistent redness, pulling of the scar, itching, restriction of joint movement, discomfort and cosmetic objections).

Instructions for use:

• For optimum results preferably start Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel treatment immediately after wound closure (after removing sutures and the disappearance of any scabs).
• A small amount of silicone gel per treatment is sufficient. For optimal therapy, apply a small amount of silicone gel to the scar twice a day with a smooth motion.
• Reapply Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel after intensive activity (sports) and contact with water (showering, swimming).
• If desired, Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel can be combined with make-up after drying.

How long should I use Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel?

• It takes at least 3-6 months for a scar to normalize.
• Use Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel as long as the scar is elevated, red or causes complaints.
• Consult with the practitioner/doctor about the duration of the therapy.

Duration of use:

• One vial of Scarban® Velvet Touch silicone gel contains 15 ml.
• When used correctly, one vial contains enough for treatment lasting several weeks.
• The duration of use depends on the size of the scar to be treated.
• Multiple packs may therefore be necessary in the case of long-term therapy.

Special attention and precautions:

• Keep out of the reach of children.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• The silicone gel is only suitable for external use.
• Use the silicone gel only on closed skin (after the scab has disappeared) and never on open wounds.
• Do not use if the product is received with damaged packaging.

Side effects:

• In rare cases, the skin may react sensitively (skin irritation) to a silicone treatment.
  If this is the case, stop the treatment temporarily.

• If necessary, Scarban® Velvet Touch can be removed using a mild, skin-friendly soap.

• Start the treatment again once the irritation has disappeared.

• If skin problems persist consult your practitioner/doctor.

Storage:

• The expiry date is printed on the packaging.

Date of the last revision of instructions for use:
