Dr Rusnak Wellness Scar Repair Silicone Gel

Smooth and support healing. Scar Repair Silicone Gel is a professional-grade formula that hydrates and protects scar tissue while softening and improving its texture. Designed for both new and old scars, it forms a breathable, semi-occlusive barrier that supports the body's natural healing process and visibly reduces 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. Medical-grade silicone is widely regarded as the gold-standard active for scar management, and clinical literature consistently supports its use as a first-line treatment for hypertrophic and keloid scars.

3. Allow to dry for 60 seconds before layering other products or makeup

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 results?
Visible changes in scar texture and color typically appear after 60 to 90 days of consistent twice-daily use. Older or larger scars may take longer; newer scars often respond more quickly.

Can this gel be used on old scars?
Yes. Silicone is most effective on scars under 12 months old, but it can still soften and hydrate the appearance of older scars with consistent use.

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 healing scars is essential to prevent darkening.

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