Dr Rusnak Wellness Scar Repair Silicone Gel

Smooth, protect, and comfort. Scar Repair Silicone Gel is a professional-grade formula that hydrates and protects scarred skin while softening and improving its texture. Designed for both new and old scars, it forms a breathable, semi-occlusive barrier that helps skin retain moisture and visibly improves the appearance of raised, discolored, or textured scars.

Developed by Dr. Cecilia Rusnak — a licensed acupuncture physician and paramedical aesthetician whose clinical work spans oncology, veteran care, and post-procedure recovery — this scar gel reflects the same standards she applies in her own practice. Silicone is one of the most widely used and extensively studied ingredients in scar care, valued for how it improves the look and feel of raised and discolored scars.

How to use

1. Begin once the wound is fully closed and any scabs have come off naturally (typically two to three weeks post-procedure — confirm with your surgeon)
2. Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin twice daily
3. Allow to dry for 60 seconds before layering other products or makeup
4. Layer broad-spectrum SPF over scar gel during the day to protect the area from UV-related darkening

Frequently asked questions

When can I start using silicone scar gel after surgery?
Most surgeons recommend starting silicone gel once the wound is fully closed and any scabs have come off naturally — typically two to three weeks after the procedure. Always confirm timing with your surgeon.

How long until I see a difference?
Results vary from person to person. Many people describe visible changes in the look of scar texture and color after 60 to 90 days of consistent twice-daily use; the appearance of older or larger scars may take longer to change.

Can this gel be used on old scars?
Yes. The look of newer scars often responds more quickly, but consistent use can still soften and hydrate the appearance of older scars.

Is this scar gel safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. It's fragrance-free, paraben-free, and formulated without aggressive actives that commonly irritate sensitive or compromised skin. As always, patch test on the inner forearm if you have a history of skin reactions.

Can I wear sunscreen and makeup over it?
Yes — wait 60 seconds for the gel to dry, then layer sunscreen and makeup as usual. Sun protection over scarred skin helps prevent visible darkening.

Can I use this on the face?
Yes, it's suitable for the appearance of facial scars including post-procedure, post-acne, and surgical scars. Avoid the immediate eye area.
