The results of the self-drying silicone gel have been found satisfactory. It increases hydration of stratum corneum and thereby facilitates regulation of fibroblast production and reduction in collagen production. It results into softer and flatter scar. It allows skin to "Breathe“.
Mechanism of Action of Scar Seal : It protects the scarred tissue from bacterial invasion and prevents bacteria-induced excessive collagen production in the scar tissue. It modulates the expression of growth factors, fibroblast growth factor β (FGF β) and tumor growth factor β (TGF β). TGF β stimulates fibroblasts to synthesize collagen and fibronectin. FGF β normalizes the collagen synthesis in an abnormal scar and increases the level of collagenases which breaks down the excess collagen. Make a balance of fibrogenesis and fibrolysis is ultimately restored.

- PEG 12 Dimethicon: PEG-12 Dimethicone is a silicone blend of dimethicone and polyethylene glycol, generously used to give formulas a smooth feel, promote spreadability and add lubrication. It acts as a surface tension depressant, skin conditioning agent, wetting agent, emulsifier and foam builder in a wide variety of beauty products and cosmetics.
