Silagen®
Made with medical grade silicone, Silagen topical gel and strips help with scar healing by softening, flattening, and reducing redness and itchiness in scars. Silagen is non-irritating, and when utilized with SPF, which is essential especially during the healing process, it helps to prevent UV-induced scar hyperpigmentation.
As a destination practice offering world-class care, the Quatela Center attracts patients from around the globe. Our virtual consultations and support program take the effort out of travelling for surgery.
Surgical Scar Removal
Sometimes, there is also the option to remove scars through surgery. In this case, scars must be at least a year old and will be surgically removed from the skin. A consultation appointment is necessary to evaluate the scar and decide if a surgical procedure will be beneficial for each specific situation.
