How Does Epiderm Work? Scars need a "healing environment,” meaning the appropriate balance of moisture and exposure to oxygen. Biodermis Epi-derm™ is a fully-encapsulating silicone sheet —the sheet completely covers the scar treatment site for uniform scar treatment of the entire area. Although the entire areais covered, Biodermis Epi–derm™ is semi-permeable, allowing oxygen to enter while keeping moisture out — the ideal environments for healing scar tissue.

Once Biodermis silicone gel sheets have been applied to the scar area, it can be used for 1-2 weeks. When it begins to lose its adhesive qualities, or when surface dirt becomes difficult to remove with proper daily washing, it is time to replace the Epiderm silicone sheet.

Unused product, whether opened, or unopened, can last for years when stored properly.

Silicone sheets are an effective solution for both new and old scars. Clinical studies have shown that the newer the scar, the better the result. One such study found a success rate of up to 85% on scars under 1 year old, and the rate of about 65% for scars over 10 years old. The optimal period of use of silicone sheets is typically a minimum of 12 hours per day (and ideally 24 hours per day) for 8-12 weeks

Pro-Sil is frequently used during the day on exposed scars (facial, hands, elbows, etc.). For 24 hour a day usage, many patients prefer Epi-Derm gel sheets at night when they are at home or sleeping, because a single sheet will last all night
