Dermatix: Innovative silicone gel for scar treatment
Dermatix is a silicone gel designed to improve the appearance of scars and speed up their healing. It is a medical grade product manufactured by Advance Bio-Technologies Inc. in the United States of America.
The composition of Dermatix is based on polymeric organosilicon compounds known as polysiloxanes. These compounds form the silicon base of the gel. The addition of an inorganic silicon compound known as silica enhances its effectiveness. Dermatix does not contain antibiotics or other pharmaceutical ingredients.
Dermatix is intended for a variety of medical conditions related to scarring and wound healing. Its indications for use include:
-
Improves the cosmetic appearance of established scars: Dermatix helps make scars less noticeable by improving their texture and color.
-
Wound Healing: The gel promotes faster healing of various types of wounds, including traumatic wounds, burns and post-surgical wounds.
-
Prevention and treatment of keloids and hypertrophic scars: Dermatix is effective in preventing and reducing keloids and hypertrophic scars that may occur after surgery, burns or other injuries.
When using Dermatix, some contraindications and special instructions should be taken into account. The gel should not be applied to open, fresh or unhealed wounds. It is also not recommended to use it over dermatological preparations containing antibiotics or other pharmaceutical products for the prevention and treatment of scars, as well as cosmetic products.
In rare cases, some side effects may occur, such as redness, pain or irritation of the skin. However, they are usually minor and temporary.
There is limited data on the interaction of Dermatix with other drugs, so it is recommended to consult a doctor or pharmacist before simultaneous use with other drugs.
It is necessary to avoid getting the gel on the mucous membrane and eyes. When applying the gel to the skin around the eyelids, be especially careful.
The instructions for use of Dermatix are an important source of information and should be strictly followed. It is usually recommended to apply the gel twice a day to cleansed and dry skin. A small amount of gel should be applied to the affected area and gently spread with massaging movements until completely absorbed.
The duration of use of Dermatix may vary depending on the severity of the scar and the individual characteristics of the patient. It is generally recommended to use the gel for several weeks to several months to achieve visible results.
It is important to note that the effectiveness of Dermatix can vary from person to person and may vary for each patient. Results may depend on the size, type and age of the scar, as well as the regularity and correctness of the gel.
If you have specific questions about using Dermatix or require advice on your individual case, it is recommended that you consult with your doctor or dermatologist, who will be able to make more specific recommendations based on your needs and skin condition.
