ProSilk Gel is intended for use in the management of closed hyperproliferative scars, both old and new hypertrophic or keloid scars resulting from burns, surgical procedures or trauma wounds. It helps reduce redness, softens and flattens raised scars, relieves itching, discomfort and pain associated with scars, helps prevent excessive and abnormal scar formation, and for use as mono-therapy or in combination with other scar therapies including pressure garments.

ProSilk Gel is a self-drying, flexible, gas permeable, waterproof silicone gel that is colorless and odorless. ProSilk Gel forms a bond with the stratum corneum (the outer layer of dead skin cells) forming a protective barrier against chemical physical and microbial invasion of the scar site while assisting with hydration.

ProSilk Gel is also for use on children or people with sensitive skin. Silicone gel and sheets are internationally recommended as the first line of treatment in scar management.

ProSilk Gel contains: Cyclopentasiloxane, Bis-Vinyl Dimethicone/Dimethicone Copolymer, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone, Cyclotetrasiloxane, Silicon, Steraryl Alcohol.

The exact mechanism of action in improving the appearance of scar tissue from using silicone remains unknown. However, various suggestions have been made to explain the efficacy of silicone, including hydration, pressure, temperature, oxygen transmission and silicone absorption. There is some evidence that the treatment affects the stratum corneum and, by reducing evaporation, restores better homeostasis in the tissue. In keloid and hypertrophic scarring, the stratum corneum allows more evaporation of water from the underlying tissue than occurs in normal skin. Silicone may prevent this, keeping the stratum corneum in optimal hydration and protecting the skin from environmental hazards, both of which can reduce abnormal scarring. The gel may also affect the stratum corneum by inhibiting mast cell activity, diminishing edema, vasodilatation and excessive extracellular matrix formation but the simple changes in temperature, pressure, oxygen tension and hydration produced by wound coverage probably constitute the main mechanism of action. Another hypothesis is that the effect of static electricity on silicone may influence the alignment of collagen deposition.

For use in the management of closed hyperproliferative (hypertrophic or keloid) scars, resulting from general surgical procedures, trauma, wounds, and burns.

ProSilk Gel is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to silicone or any of the listed ingredients.

For external use only. Avoid direct contact with eyes, lips or mucous membranes. Do not apply on areas of broken skin. Do not apply on third degree burns and open wounds. Never use on sutured wound until sutures have been removed. Do not use on dermatological conditions that disrupt the integrity of the skin.

Stop use and ask a doctor if irritation develops. In rare instances, silicone gel may cause a rash on the skin. This condition may result from improper cleansing of the scar area where the silicone gel has been applied. If this product is applied properly and skin irritation still occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician. If ingested, get medical help or contact Poison Control Center right away.
