Reducing Scars with CytoDerma™ Silicone Gel
CytoDerma effectively seals in moisture with a thin application over the scar. This reduces the irregular formation of fibrous connective tissue, resulting in reduced redness/discolouration and a softer and flatter texture. It also relieves itchiness while the scar matures, providing relief post-treatment.
The ideal is to keep the scar covered with CytoDerma 24 hours a day for the first 3 months, so its non-greasy/non-shiny/quick-dry formulation is especially desirable. Your clothes won’t get stained and you can even apply sunscreen and makeup on top of it without worry.

More Information
If you’ve had a cosmetic procedure done that results in scarring, it’s incredibly important to follow the post-treatment instructions to minimize the risk of prominent scars. This includes the application of silicone scar gel.
Silicone is the only ingredient in scientific literature that has been clinically proven to improve the appearance of scars. There are a few products available, but we only offer CytoDerma because it is 100% silicone, free from any chemicals. (Plus, it’s made in Canada!)
CytoDerma can treat scars classified as grades 1–4. We have found that usage is an essential part of post-treatment recovery to help scars fade as much as possible.
A Special Note About Sun Exposure
Surgical scars will tan like the rest of our skin when exposed to the sun. However, they often do not fade in colour like the rest of our skin. You don’t want dark scars, so diligent sunscreen use is particularly important for the first 12-18 months after surgery. We offer a variety of non-comedogenic options in the office that we can help you select, depending on your skin type.
Do Stitches Leave Scars
Whenever the skin breaks, a scar can form. Since surgery involves breaking the skin, either with incisions or other means, it is natural that a scar develops.
