Step-by-Step Guide: How to Use Scarban Silicone Gel

Scarban silicone gel is a medical device. Follow the instructions that come with the product. And always follow the advice of your practitioner. This page provides a brief outline of instructions for use. 


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 gel can be combined with make-up after drying.


Scarban Velvet Touch silicone gel is quite concentrated, so you only need a little to cover your scar. Here's how to use it right:

  • Make sure the gel covers your entire scar, including the edges.
  • It should spread smoothly, dry quickly, and feel soft and non-sticky.
  • When it feels silky soft, that means the protective layer on your skin is formed.
  • To wash it off, use a gentle soap.

Here are some important warnings to keep in mind when using Scarban Velvet Touch:

  • If your skin gets irritated, stop using the gel for a while. You can wash it off with a gentle soap.
  • Only start using it again when your skin calms down. If the irritation continues, talk to your doctor.
  • Don't use it directly on open wounds, inflamed, or unhealed skin.
  • Don't eat or swallow it.
  • Keep it away from your eyes, and don't put it on your mucous membranes.
  • Keep it out of reach of kids, but it's safe for them to use.
  • Don't use it with other skin creams unless your doctor says it's okay.
