Description Cimeosil
The information in the FAQ section was created by the Liki24.co.uk team and is based on the official manufacturer's manual
Cimeosil gel is a scar gel that is colourless, odourless and allows the skin to breathe. If the applied surface is still wet, it is recommended to wipe off the excess with a compress. The gel dries in 10-15 minutes, allowing make-up to be applied without diminishing the effect of Cimeosil. It is not necessary to cover the treated area with a bandage. A 14 g tube is sufficient to treat an 8 x 10 cm scar for 3 months if applied in a thin layer.
Cimeosil gel is a medical silicone which, when applied to the skin, forms a permeable, very thin and transparent membrane.
When is Cimeosil indicated?
Cimeosil gel is indicated to prevent the development or improve the appearance of hypertrophic or keloid scars that are no more than a few years old. Cimeosil gel does not directly help wounds to heal or close more quickly. It is applied only after the wounds have completely closed (after the sutures have been removed, if any, or approximately 2 weeks after the incision/suture) and prevents the hypertrophic development of the scar, improving the appearance (volume, colour) of scars, including in people with keloid tendencies.
The ameliorative effect of Cimeosil gel for scars depends on the age of the scars and the duration of its application. Cimeosil is applied daily for several months (sometimes 10-12 months). Any incision, scratch, injury to the skin, post-operative, after caesarean section, etc., after the wound has healed, is an indication for applying Cimeosil gel to form a scar with a pleasant appearance, non-hypertrophic and matching the colour of the skin. Combining Cimeosil gel during the day with Cimeosil film at night (the film can only be applied for a maximum of 8 hours continuously) is the best therapeutic solution.
Cimeosil does not penetrate the skin but remains on the surface as an elastic, transparent film.
Cimeosil film is recommended after breast surgery involving silicone implants or reduction.
How is Cimeosil applied?
Wash the affected area with soap and water for sensitive skin and pat dry. Apply a small amount of gel with your fingertip (after washing your hands) to the surface of the scar. For large scars, gradual application of the gel is recommended. After 5 minutes, remove the excess with a tissue to avoid staining clothes or bedding. Use twice a day, in the morning and in the evening.
Does Cimeosil have any contraindications?
Due to its composition, Cimeosil has no contraindications and does not cause allergic reactions through contact and prolonged application, nor does it irritate the skin. Therefore, it can be used for long periods of time, even on children, regardless of age.
