All silicones are not created equal
There is a wealth of scientific and clinical data that confirms the effectiveness of occlusive silicone sheeting in the successful prevention and treatment of scarring. Unfortunately, this has inspired a flood of inferior over-the-counter products such as creams, gels and oils containing silicone, as well as flimsy silicone sheeting products that don't perform as promised.
ReJuveness pioneered the science of silicone scar therapy makes the purest, sturdiest medical grade occlusive sheeting on the market, clinically proven to improve scars safely. While our high-quality sheeting may cost a little more than the competition in the initial purchase, it lasts longer and provides more intense healing benefits than any product available. Guaranteed.
Research on the Efficacy of Silicone Sheeting for Scar Treatment
The Use of Silicone Adhesives for Scar Reduction
Highlights: - While the exact mechanisms by which SGS improves hypertrophic scars, keloid development and recovery are yet to be fully agreed upon, its ability to do so remains largely undisputed at present. However, there still is ongoing deliberation over the exact mechanism of action of silicone in improving a scar. At present it is likely that through occlusion of the scar site and hydration of the wound bed, the overactivity of scar-related cells is suppressed, and their activity normalized.

Update on hypertrophic scar treatment
Highlights: - Silicone gel sheeting (SGS) has been widely used in clinical practice for the treatment of HTSs since the early 1980s. There is good evidence of the efficacy of the SGS, which has become standard practice among plastic surgeons.
