The cream forms a kind of film around the scar and redirects the collagen fibers in the skin to a horizontal position. This cosmetic gel reliably protects the damaged area from various types of mechanical irritations.
How does Dermatix work on the skin?
The best time to use the gel is earlier, after the appearance of a homogeneous epidermis. The cream should be applied to scars during the process of their formation, while they are still red.
This cosmetic product is well suited for solving a number of problems:
to remove skin defects from various scars; to prevent the formation of scars and scars during skin restoration; to reduce itching and burning; to remove unsightly marks from existing acne and stretch marks; to improve skin color and condition; to remove pronounced pigmentation.
For adult patients
This remedy is actively used for treatment, as well as to prevent the formation of scars and cicatrices. The highest effectiveness is possible in the early stages, immediately after the wound has healed.
For children
The cream can be used in pediatrics if young patients have indications for this. According to many experts, the composition of the product is very well tolerated by children and at the same time is distinguished by its safety. No adverse reactions were identified or confirmed.
During pregnancy and breastfeeding
Women during this period can also use this cosmetic product. It is very effective for preventing the occurrence of unsightly stretch marks during pregnancy. Experts recommend applying the cream to the skin constantly, starting from the earliest stages of pregnancy.
Silicone gel for scar correction Dermatix - reviews
Anastasia Muraru
I found out about Dermatix absolutely by accident on the Internet, I decided to try it, the price is relatively low, I bought it, used it for two weeks, there was no effect, I couldn’t waste time, and then I decided to buy another cream, which turned out to be more effective - Cicatrix, the biggest problem was that it was difficult to find, everything else went very well, it significantly removed my scar, I am very pleased. Thank you.

It's not exactly a gel, although it's similar. I can’t say that it is somehow reminiscent of silicone gels, as I imagined them before. Very gentle, pleasant cream, almost odorless. But not for basic care, only for scar treatment.
I apply it to areas that have turned into small scars after chickenpox. After the illness I suffered in adulthood, I didn’t think about it, but now I wanted my skin to be perfectly smooth. Since the cream is also indicated for old scars, I decided that it should help. My scars are small and mostly on my forehead, where the skin is quite thin, so the dynamics of healing were visible almost immediately.
The cream is interesting, when applied it feels sticky, it itself is quite sticky, although watery. But after absorption, not a trace remains on the skin. After a week, the pits seemed to smooth out, only white traces remained of them, like new skin that had not yet received a tan. After applying the foundation, the tone is smoothed out.
The cream fully met my expectations, no complaints. Although the tube is average, it only took me a tenth of it. Probably those who decide to remove stretch marks need more than one tube.

The doctor also recommended Dermatix to me after the operation, but I need to start using it immediately and be sure to apply it systematically, 2 times a day. But the result is noticeable after 1.5 months, the scar has decreased greatly, I think it will be completely invisible

I saw an advertisement for Dermatix gel on the Internet. I was very interested in the drug, because... I have several scars from childhood. I started reading reviews about Dermatix and indeed, many people praise the drug. But good people, the price of Dermatix is almost 2000 rubles. Well, where does a student have that kind of money for a cream of which there are 15 grams in a tube? Now I’m trying to find an analogue to Dermatix, but I don’t see anything yet. Maybe someone bought something similar, write the name of the drug.

I used Dermatix immediately after the stitches were removed after a cesarean section. Exactly twice a day, exactly two months. The scar has become almost invisible on the sides, in the middle it is still a little red. I think that the cream still helped it heal faster!

Advantages:
Easy to use, does not cause discomfort, effective
Flaws:
did not find
Details:
The doctor recommended this gel to me after I had a caesarean section during my first pregnancy. This product left an extremely positive impression. The only negative is, of course, the price, it’s not cheap, but it really helps. For four months I smeared my scar with dermatix, during which time the scar lightened and generally became almost invisible; if you don’t know and don’t look closely, you definitely won’t notice the scar). It is very simple to use - every day, twice, you need to apply a thin layer on the scar, it dries quite quickly, creating an invisible film (you don’t feel it). If you use it as it is written in the instructions - in a thin layer, then it turns out very economical and the packaging lasts for a long time. I give this product a solid A, because it really helped me out a lot at the time.

They cut out a boil on my face. Needless to say, how worried I was about my face...
I scoured the Internet and decided on Dermatix Gel. It cost me 1600 rubles for 15 ml. Inside there are detailed instructions for use.
The gel is odorless, transparent, thick. It absorbs quite quickly and you can apply makeup on top. I used it for several months, first in the morning and evening, then only in the evening. I used it until I ran out. It is very economical. My incision was shaped like a “T”: 1 cm and 0.5 cm.
The result is no scalpel scar!!!
At the same time as my face, they cut my hand, I didn’t smear it and the scar remained on my hand.
In my life I had to use another remedy “for scars”, I can, as they say, compare, and so - Dermatix is better!

Good afternoon I would like to write a few words about Dermatix anti-scar silicone gel. We started using this gel after the operation, the third month, but the results are already visible. I can only say positive words about this product. The scars became even and smooth. It is very important that despite the small amount of gel - 15 grams, you need very, very little of it, thereby it lasts for a long time. I think it is effective to use this gel on fresh scars. Although it all depends on the type and structure of the skin. Every person is unique. Personally, I will use this Dermatix gel to get maximum results because I really like it! And I will recommend him to all my friends!

Flaws:
very expensive
I made a discovery and really want to share it! Maybe someone will be interested and help as much as I do. The point is: I have problem skin on my hands. Very thin! VERY dry! In the summer it’s still okay, but as soon as the cold weather sets in, the nightmare begins. The skin cracks until it bleeds, dry, tight. In short, those who are in the know will understand. All my life I have been looking for a remedy that would help me somehow make my life easier 9 months a year. I tried a bunch of creams, both expensive and cheap, different oils, I even broke Viardot capsules and smeared them on my hands (for those who don’t know, this is a drug for men:) I recently came across the drug Dermatix in the form of a gel. I used it to heal a scar. It covers the area of application with a film, and then the skin there is soft, soft, smooth, smooth. And the scar smoothes out. Not completely removed, of course, but it helps to at least become a little less noticeable. Here I tried to apply Dermatix gel to the place where the skin on my hands was chapped from the cold. Right on the knuckle, it hurt when bent and it bled. The effect was almost immediate! The healing process started and a day later the hand was fine. I really liked the tool.
Gel analogues
Experts consider the following medications as good analogues of this drug:
Contractubex
This is a fairly well-known drug that provides high activity. Its components stop the inflammatory process in the skin. Can be used in children starting from one year. However, the cream is prohibited for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Lidaza
One of the substitutes for Dermatix cream. The drug is used to prepare a special solution that is applied to scars and scars. Lidaza is allowed for use during pregnancy and protects the skin from the occurrence of stretch marks in women.
Kelo-cote
This drug acts on scars from the inside. The method of its use is identical to Dermatix.
Mederma ointment
Recommended for atrophic scars. It should be used for three to four months (four times a day).
Elicina cream
Recommended for fresh stretch marks, scars and scars. It is applied with a special brush and dries quite quickly on the skin.
Treatment of scars after blepharoplasty
If during the healing of scars after blepharoplasty there was no prophylaxis, or an infection still got into the wound, a keloid scar begins to form. The older it gets, the more difficult it is to remove it, which is why it is so important to notice its formation in time:
- 14–21 days after the wound has healed, tissue compactions appear at the surgical site. Along with them come itching, burning and pain.
- The lumps turn into hard, convex granules with a smooth surface, the scar turns red and begins to tighten the skin, interfering with the normal functioning of the eye.
- At the site of the scar, raised growths appear, and the scar itself increases significantly in size, significantly exceeding the size of the original wound.
If you find yourself experiencing similar symptoms, contact a specialist for a free consultation.
Methods for treating keloid scars after blepharoplasty
There are many options for how to get rid of a scar: this includes surgery, cosmetology, skin applications with anti-scar agents, as well as physical therapy (electrophoresis/phonophoresis). More details about each method:
- Scar excision. Surgery can either completely get rid of a scar or significantly increase it - it all depends on the skill of the surgeon and the characteristics of the patient’s body. Relapse is possible.
- Laser resurfacing. It does not damage the surrounding healthy tissue, but it will not completely remove the scar. In fact, this is cutting off the raised layer of skin - after the procedure, the scar will simply become less noticeable. The procedure is very painful and requires a long period of rehabilitation, as well as an integrated approach. It is necessary to undergo several courses of laser resurfacing for visible results.
- Injections. Injections into the scar tissue of immunomodulators or steroids (hormonal agents). It is believed that this method is one of the most effective - over time, the scar disappears almost entirely. However, the epidermis at the site of the scar is additionally injured by the needle from the syringe - this is a rather painful procedure.
- Cryotherapy. Exposure of keloid to liquid nitrogen at low temperature. The scar becomes pale and thinner. This method is effective in complex therapy, as monotherapy does not work well.
- Ointments, gels and creams. The safest and most accessible method is that it is used both at the initial stages of scar tissue formation and at the stage of a mature scar.
At the first noticeable signs of keloid, various physiotherapy in combination with ointments/gels is recommended: phonophoresis, electrophoresis, microcurrents, etc.
Dosage forms of the drug
Dermatix gel
Sold in pharmacies in tubes of six and fifteen grams. The gel is used for external use only. As it dries, it turns into a thin film, completely invisible on the skin. It, by increasing the elasticity of the skin and regulating the deposition of melanin, reduces the pigmentation of scars and scars. Can be used in children and pregnant women. As a rule, treatment lasts at least two months.
For a good effect, the gel must be applied immediately after the existing wound has healed.
Dermatix gel ultra
In principle, the composition is identical, but vitamin C is also added to it, which perfectly accelerates the healing and restoration processes of the skin due to the body’s production of collagen.
Popular ointments
All prescriptions of medications, frequency and duration of use are prescribed by the doctor who performed the operation in accordance with the individual characteristics of your body.
In the first week after surgery, ointments are prescribed to help eliminate hematomas and swelling. Traumeel S or Essaven-gel ointments have a good effect.
Postoperative sutures are removed 3-5 days after eyelid surgery. In the future, it is recommended to use ointments to speed up skin healing and prevent scarring. Dermatix gel has this effect. It normalizes water balance, softens and smoothes the skin, and prevents the formation of scars. Apply a thin layer to dry skin. It is advisable to use for at least 2 months.
In most cases, the scar after blepharoplasty remains invisible without the use of additional products.
If it was not possible to avoid scar formation, drugs are prescribed to soften and absorb scar tissue. Among them are:
- Kelofibraza cream, which has an anti-inflammatory and moisturizing effect, improves microcirculation and accelerates the resorption of scar tissue.
- Kelo-Cote Gel reduces the definition of scars, thereby improving their appearance. The drug eliminates discomfort, itching in the scar area, and restores skin color.
- Gel “Kontraktubeks” has an anti-inflammatory, softening and smoothing effect on scar tissue.
- Gel “Zeraderm Ultra” has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antipruritic effects, improves tissue respiration, and activates reparative processes in scar tissue.
Your doctor will tell you which drug is best for you. In the future, you can use cosmetics to care for the skin around your eyes.
How to prevent scars from appearing and speed up healing?
In order for the postoperative period to pass quickly and as comfortably as possible, and for healing to leave no visual consequences, it is necessary not only to carefully follow the doctor’s instructions, but also to undergo thorough preoperative preparation.
If you have concomitant diseases, warn the surgeon about them in advance. Consult with your doctor, undergo all necessary examinations, and get tested.
Follow the prescribed regimen for the first week after surgery. It is very important to avoid physical activity, prevent injury, minimize exposure to ultraviolet radiation, and eliminate the risk of wound infection.
All medications prescribed by your surgeon should be followed strictly. If any questions arise or unforeseen situations occur during the rehabilitation process, notify the doctor. He will adjust the treatment in time and give the necessary recommendations. Thus, together you will achieve the best treatment result and soon not even a trace of the operation will remain in your memory, and your transformation will delight you for many years.

Pharmacology
The degree of impact of silicone containing silicon compounds on the epidermis is still being studied by scientists from around the world.
However, numerous tests have already shown the following results:
- The medicine is able to connect water molecules. This eliminates dehydration.
- There is a counteraction to protein generalization involved in scar formation.
- The intensity of collagen generation, which contributes to the formation of scars, is reduced.
- A uniform load on the skin in the area of the lesion is ensured. Thanks to this, blood circulation is normalized and the regeneration of new cells is stimulated.
Price
Dermatix is sold regardless of the form of release without a prescription.
You can buy it in almost every pharmacy.
If you wish, you can receive your order without leaving your home if you make a purchase in the online store.
The price of the product depends largely on the manufacturer and regional factors:
- silicone gel made in Italy – RUB 2,492;
- silicone patch (10x18 – 5 pcs.) – 5,700 rubles;
- Wanhe silicone gel patch – RUB 3,990.
Regardless of the form of release, the drug provides a high therapeutic effect when used on any type of scar.
Contractubex or Dermatix: which is better?
Both products are used equally actively in the treatment of scars. The drugs belong to the same pharmacogroup.
Their purposes are identical: softening scars, resolving seals on wounds and other skin lesions.
These are representatives of safe treatment methods, use is permitted for a category of vulnerable patients: pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as children.
The similarities can be seen in contraindications and the presence of side effects. Therefore, there is no consensus on which is better: Contractubex or Dermatix .
To be fair, it is worth stating the fact that there are still some differences . They have different compositions and mechanisms of action of active compounds.
Medicines are produced by different manufacturers.
Each product has its own advantages:
- Contractubex is much cheaper than its analogue, it can be applied to steamed skin, but the composition cannot be used in conjunction with cosmetics;
- Dermatix is more expensive, it can only be applied to dry skin, but it goes well with cosmetics.
If a medicine is chosen for treating facial skin, then preference is given to Dermatix. For the treatment of fresh wounds on the body and old defects, Contractubex is more suitable.
Instructions for use
The method of applying the product depends on the release form.
Gel
A silicon-based composition is used to treat the area of skin where the process of scar formation is observed or there are traces of scars.
The duration of the course is determined by the attending physician ( about 2 months ).
If necessary, treatment is extended.

- Dry the treated area with a dry cloth.
- The size of the patch is selected so that its edges extend beyond the hearth by a couple of centimeters.
The patch retains its healing properties for 3 weeks .
It can be removed for hygiene procedures. Replacement is carried out when the plate comes off or has a poor fit to the focal area.
To cover larger wounds, it is recommended to use an appropriately sized patch or apply multiple strips at the same time.
You can evaluate the first results of the therapeutic effect after 4 weeks of using Dermatix.
If the consequences of old operations or injuries are eliminated, then tissue restoration will take at least 12 months . In any case, the duration of treatment is determined by the doctor.
Benefits of Dermatix
The pharmacological product is popular among doctors.

- atrophic - recognized by characteristic collapses.
Scar marks can be eliminated using laser treatment, massage, or surgery.
But a more progressive method is the use of Dermatix . The high effectiveness is confirmed by doctors and patients.
Reviews
Mikhail, 44 years old:
After the accident he underwent 3 operations. The most serious damage was in the hip area. As the wound healed, a large scar formed. As soon as the lesion had dried, the doctor first advised covering the wound with a silicone bandage - a plaster.
After being discharged from the hospital, I began using Dermatix ointment. The product softens the tissue well; after several months of treatment, the scar has decreased in size twice.
Daria, 26 years old:
At the age of 15, I fell off my bike and ended up with a wound on my knee. The healing process went quickly, but the feeling of skin tightness that I first felt after the stitches were removed did not go away for several years. Having matured, I decided to get rid of the unpleasant feeling. The doctor recommended Dermatix gel for scars.
I had to undergo treatment for quite a long time (for 6 months), but the result is worth it. In addition to the absence of tightness, the cosmetic defect has almost disappeared.
Compound
Dermatix belongs to the group of products that provide kelloidolytic and softening effects.
The pharmacological product is produced in the form of a colorless gel and silicone patch .
In both cases, the active compound is a mixture of polymeric organosilicon compounds.
The composition is supplemented with silicon dioxide (silicon compound of inorganic nature).
There are several types of plasters
The thinnest product is considered to be silicone. Silicone gel strips look thicker. The effectiveness of any type of patch is 90%.
