Are silicone patches waterproof?
ScarAway Clear Silicone Scar Sheets are water-resistant and will remain in place during short-term exposure to water, such as showering. Do not expose to water for prolonged periods, such as swimming or bathing.
Does silicone help scars?
Silicone gel heals scars by increasing hydration of the stratum corneum (the uppermost layer of the skin). This facilitates regulation of fibroblast production and also reduces collagen production. Essentially, this allows skin to “breathe”, thus resulting in a softer and flatter scar.
When to use silicone scar sheets?
When can you begin using silicone gel for scars? You can begin using silicone gel for your scar as soon as your wound is fully healed and there is no more bleeding or scabbing. Generally, it takes about 3 weeks for a wound to fully heal, but this can vary by patient.

Can silicone strips get wet?
If I do place surgical strips on the incisions, you can take care of them by generally keeping them dry. It is OK to shower with them and get them wet in the shower, but then try to gently dry them off afterwards. Some patients have used a blow drier to help dry them off, and that can work well.
