The BIGGEST question about NewGel+

Date: 20-05-2024

We often get asked, what’s more effective for scars? NewGel+ sheeting or NewGel+ topical gel?

Silicone sheeting and topical gels both have good evidence of efficacy, and in visible areas such as the face and hands, or over flexure areas such as joints, the topical gels are preferred for the prevention and treatment of hypertrophic and keloid scars.

We have created a comparison below to help you decide with your patients and customers:

WHERE SHEETING MY BE A BETTER OPTION:

  • Older scars
  • Scars covered by clothing
  • Scars in areas with little movement
  • Patients like an 'apply it nd forget it' solution
  • When extra protection and cushioning is a plus e.g. Caesarean and Abdominoplasty scars
  • Symptomatic scars e.g. pain and itching
  • After scar revision surgery.

WHERE TOPICAL GET MAY BE A BETTER OPTION:

  • Scar prevention
  • Scars in exposed areas like face, hands and arms
  • Scars in high movement areass like joints
  • Patients who will be willing to apply twice dailty or more frequently if scar area is washed frequently
  • Under compression garments
  • High heat and humidity living conditions
  • Fragile scars that might be damaged when pulling off sheeting.

Trust NewGel+ to soften, flatten, and fade your scar.
