| FAQs | Mechanism of ActionScar tissues exhibits excessive trans-epidermal water loss for as long as one year post-wound healing. This abnormally high level of water evaporation stimulates keratinocytes to produce cytokines, which in turn signal the activation of fibroblasts to synthesize collagen. Left unchecked, excessive collagen production can lead to abnormal scarring. Silicones applied over the scar provide occlusion and hydration of the stratum corneum, down-regulating keratinocyte stimulation and further collagen production. After 2-3 months of silicone treatment, collagen is normalized and hypertrophic scarring is prevented. |
