Buy Scar Gels and Silicone Sheets Online in UAE - myAster

myAster scar-management products focus on silicone in gel, sheet, strip, dot, and stick formats, intended for scars on skin that has already closed and healed. With consistent use, silicone scar care may help manage the appearance of a raised or thickened scar over time. Still, it does not erase a scar or guarantee a specific before-and-after result. Choosing between a reusable silicone sheet and a quick-drying gel usually comes down to the scar's location, size, how visible it is under clothing, and how the skin reacts to prolonged contact. Current examples on myAster include NewGel+, Biodermis, and Dermatix. Scar care is separate from first aid for a fresh bruise, an open wound, or a pigment condition, and any scar that grows, changes color rapidly, or sits alongside an open, infected, or painful wound needs professional review.

Choose Scar Care by Scar Type, Size and Location

Surgical scars, C-section scars, injury scars, and raised or thickened scars each respond somewhat differently to silicone-based products. A flat, pale surgical scar on the abdomen has different practical needs from a raised, itchy scar on the shoulder or a scar sitting across a joint that moves frequently during the day.

Diagnosing whether a scar is hypertrophic, sitting above the skin but staying within the original wound border, or keloid, extending beyond it, is a clinical distinction a doctor or dermatologist makes, not something to guess from appearance alone, because keloid scars sometimes need a different treatment approach altogether.

Silicone Scar Gel, Sheets, Strips, Dots and Sticks

The stocked silicone formats differ mainly in how they contact the scar and how they fit into a daily routine. A silicone gel is applied as a thin layer that dries to an invisible, flexible film, making it a practical choice for visible areas such as the face or hands where a sheet would be noticeable. Silicone sheets are thicker, reusable pads that sit directly over the scar and are typically worn for extended periods, including overnight, which suits larger or less visible scars on the torso or limbs.

Silicone strips and dots offer a smaller, targeted option for narrow or small scars, such as a short surgical line or an acne scar, while a scar stick allows for quick, mess-free application, often on the go. Adherence varies by body area: a sheet on a joint that bends and stretches repeatedly may lift more easily than the same sheet on a flatter area, which is why some people prefer gel or strips over larger sheets on active parts of the body.

When Can Silicone Scar Care Be Started?

Silicone products are intended for skin that has fully closed, with any stitches or staples removed as advised by the treating clinician. Applying silicone, or any scar product, to an open, weeping, or unhealed wound is not appropriate. It can interfere with normal healing or introduce infection risk.

Most guidance suggests starting silicone scar care once the wound has closed and any scabbing has resolved, generally a few weeks after surgery or injury, depending on how the individual wound has healed. Checking with the surgeon, doctor, or pharmacist about the right time to begin is more reliable than starting on a fixed calendar date, since healing speed varies by procedure, wound depth, and individual factors.

How Long Do Scar Gels and Silicone Sheets Take to Work?

Visible change from consistent silicone use tends to develop over weeks to months, not days, and results vary by individual and scar type. A Cochrane review of silicone gel sheeting for treating existing hypertrophic scars found the overall evidence base remains limited and of low certainty, meaning silicone may help some scars appear flatter or softer over time, but the current research does not support guaranteed results (Cochrane, silicone gel sheeting for treating hypertrophic scars).

Scar Sun Protection and SPF Products

New and actively healing scars are typically more sensitive to ultraviolet light. They can darken or develop uneven color with sun exposure, sometimes making the scar more visible against surrounding skin for longer than it would otherwise remain. Covering a healing or recent scar with clothing, or applying a sunscreen suited to the area, helps limit this additional color contrast while the scar continues to fade naturally.

Some scar sticks and gels include SPF, which can simplify a daily routine for a visible scar on the face or hands.

Top Silicone Scar-Care Brands on myAster

myAster currently stocks silicone scar-care products from a small number of established brands:

• NewGel+: A range spanning silicone sheets, strips and gel formats for different scar sizes and locations.

• Dermatix: A widely recognized silicone gel option suited to everyday, low-maintenance application.

Bruises, Active Wounds and Pigment Changes Need Different Care

Silicone scar products are formulated for closed, healed scars, not for fresh bruising, active wounds or pigmentation concerns unrelated to a healed scar. A bruise, caused by bleeding under the skin after an impact, generally resolves on its own over one to two weeks and is better managed with rest, elevation, and, if advised, a cold pack on the first day.

An open or actively healing wound needs appropriate wound care, such as cleaning and dressing, and conditions such as vitiligo or general dark marks unrelated to a scar fall outside what silicone scar care addresses. Mixing up these categories can delay getting the right product, or the right professional advice, to the actual concern.

When a Scar or Bruise Needs Medical Review

A silicone scar product supports the visible appearance of an already healing or healed scar; it is not a treatment for the following, which need a doctor or dermatologist's assessment:

• Redness, warmth or swelling spreading beyond the original wound or scar.
• Pus, an unpleasant odor, fever, or increasing pain around a wound or scar.
• Restricted movement caused by a scar, particularly across a joint
• A scar that keeps growing, thickening, or changing color well after the initial healing period.
• Bruising that appears without a clear cause, recurs frequently, or is unusually large or painful.
• Ongoing concern about a scar's appearance or healing after surgery.

FAQs

Silicone gel dries to a thin, invisible film suited to visible areas. In contrast, silicone sheets are thicker, reusable pads worn for extended periods, including overnight. Both aim to support a closed scar's appearance, and the choice often comes down to visibility and comfort.

Start silicone scar care only after the wound has fully closed and any stitches or scabbing have resolved, typically a few weeks after injury or surgery. Confirm the right timing with the treating doctor or pharmacist for a specific wound.

Most guidance suggests consistent use for several weeks to a few months, following the product's recommended daily wear time, for the best chance of visible change. Results vary by individual and scar type.

No, silicone scar products are intended for fully closed, healed skin, not open, weeping, or actively healing wounds. Using silicone on an open wound can interfere with healing and should be avoided.
