Strataderm silicone gel 10 g is a transparent, fast-drying gel designed for scar care and improving the appearance. It works by forming a thin, flexible silicone layer over the skin surface, which helps maintain scar hydration and protects it from external factors. It is used to help improve the appearance of both new and old scars, and to limit the formation of hypertrophic scars and keloids, while also contributing to reducing redness, itching, and discomfort associated with scars.
