Medical-Grade Silicone Scar Gel for Surgical & Traumatic Scars FADE Silicone Scar Gel is a medical-grade scar treatment formulated with 100% silicone to help improve the appearance of surgical and traumatic scars. Developed by Dr. Matthew Schulman, a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York City, FADE is designed to provide patients with a simple, convenient silicone gel for at-home scar care. Why Silicone for Scars? Silicone is widely used by plastic surgeons and dermatologists as part of scar management. Consistent use of silicone can help improve the appearance of a healing scar, including its texture, thickness and redness. Unlike silicone sheets, FADE is a lightweight gel that can be applied directly to the scar, making it especially convenient for scars in areas where sheets may be difficult to wear. Ideal for Surgical Scars FADE can be used as part of a scar-care routine following procedures such as: Tummy tuck Breast augmentation, breast lift or breast reduction Facelift and neck lift Liposuction Body lift and arm lift C-section Other surgical procedures and healed traumatic injuries How to Use FADE Apply a thin layer directly to the scar as directed by your surgeon or healthcare provider. For Dr. Schulman's plastic surgery patients, scar treatment is typically started approximately 2–3 weeks after surgery, once the incision has appropriately healed. Do not apply silicone scar gel to an open or unhealed wound. Want to learn more about surgical scar care? Read Dr. Schulman’s complete guide: How to Care for a Scar After Surgery. Scar maturation takes time. Consistent scar care over several months is important, and FADE may be continued for 6–9 months as the scar matures.
