Cica-Care is a soft, self-adhesive, silicone gel sheet for the treatment and prevention of scarring. It is clinically effective in flattening red and raised scars, both old and new, in 90% of cases.

Cica-Care has been medically proven in patient trials to be effective, flattening, softening and fading red and raised scars, both old and new in up to 90% of cases.

Easy to use :

• The Cica-Care adhesive gel sheet is soft, comfortable and simple to apply.
• It can be cut to size to fit most scars.
• Durable and reusable, it can be used day or night.
• The skin contact side of Cica-Care is self adhesive, while the upper side is a strengthening non-adhesive silicone membrane.
• Therefore secondary fixation may not be required, making the product more user friendly, and can lead to higher patient compliance.
• The silicone membrane and gel combination make Cica-Care more durable and less likely to denature in comparison to other silicone gel sheets.

Directions:

Step 1. Wash your hands before use and then gently clean the scar and surrounding skin. Thoroughly dry the area before applying Cica-care.

Step 2. Peel the lid from the tray containing Cica-Care and remove the gel sheet.

Step 3. With a pair of scissors, cut the sheet to the size of the scar - Allowing a little overlap all the way round. Store the remaining gel sheet in a dry place, like the tray the gel came in.

Step 4. Remove the printed plastic sheet to reveal the adhesive.

Step 5. Apply Cica-Care adhesive side down, to the scarred area without stretching the strip. If your scar is in an awkward position you may wish to use a light bandage or tape to keep Cica-Care in position. Do not hold the gel sheet too tightly to the skin as this may cause irritation of the scar and surrounding area.

Step 6. Cica-Care should be applied to the scar for 4 hours on the first two days of use. The application time should then be increased by 2 hours a day to enable your skin to get used to the gel strip. See treatment time and the Cica-Care user diary for more details.

Step 7. Clean Cica-Care twice daily with a mild soap. Once you have cleaned the gel strip, rinse it well.

Step 8. Dry the Cica-Care strip with a non-fluffy towel before re-applying. Ensure the scar and surrounding area is washed too

Warnings:

Do not use on open wounds or infected wounds.

Do not use on acne affected skin.

Do not use with ointments or creams under the gel sheet
