Genova Silicone Scar Gel

Apply a small amount of Genova Scar Gel on to your fingertips. Dab on to the affected area and then lightly smooth over the scar surface with gentle sweeping strokes. You will find that the gel goes on wet, but dries within 30 seconds on your skin. Once applied, the silicone-based gel will go to work. It will seal in moisture and protect the scar from drying out.

If required, makeup can be applied to the area once the gel has dried.

Do not apply Genova Scar Gel to open wounds. Genova Scar Gel should not be applied over antibiotic skin preparations or other skin treatment products. Genova Scar Gel should be applied to clean, dry skin only. If redness, pain or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician. Once dry, Genova Scar Gel can be covered with make-up if required.

We suggest that you apply the scar gel at least twice a day, morning and night to the required area. You can actually apply the gel as many times as required on top of a scar, as there will be no side effects to its ongoing use.

Store under 25˚c.

For external use only. Do not use the scar gel on an open wound. The scar gel should only be applied to a healed wound or existing scar.

How long does it take to see results?
Most people notice visible improvement within 8-12 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Newer scars typically respond more quickly, but older scars can also show improvement over time. Consistency matters most - apply morning and night and allow the medical-grade silicone to support your skin's natural remodelling process.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Genova Silicone Scar Gel is formulated to be hypoallergenic and is dermatologically tested. It's formulated without common irritants and is dermatologically tested, making it suitable even for sensitive skin types.

If redness, pain or irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult your physician.

How do I use it and what does it feel like?
Apply a small amount to clean, dry skin over the scar area and smooth with gentle strokes. The gel goes on wet but dries within about 30 seconds to a clear, non-greasy finish. Once dry, you can apply makeup or sunscreen over the top. The airless applicator ensures precise, hygienic dispensing every time. Use at least twice daily, morning and night.

After application, a thin silicone layer remains on the skin's surface. This is by design - it forms a breathable barrier that helps protect the scar and maintain optimal hydration. Beneath this layer, the active ingredient Vanistryl permeates deeper into the skin to support elasticity and comfort.

Can I use it on old scars, or only new ones?
Genova Silicone Scar Gel is designed for both old and newly formed scars. While newer scars typically respond more quickly, older scars may also show visible improvement with consistent twice-daily application over 8-12 weeks. Medical-grade silicone helps support the skin's ongoing remodelling process regardless of scar age.

Does it work on C-section scars?
Yes. C-section scars are one of the most common uses for silicone-based scar therapy. Once the wound has fully healed and any sutures have been removed, you can begin applying the gel twice daily. Many women notice visible softening and flattening within 8-12 weeks of consistent use.

Can I use it with the Genova Ion Applicator?
Yes. Some customers use the Genova Ion Applicator to help support application of the scar gel. The Ion Applicator's gentle galvanic current may help drive the active ingredients deeper into the skin. For deeper penetration of Vanistryl and to help improve the look and feel of a scar, this combination is worth considering.

Medical-grade silicone is widely recognised as the gold standard in topical scar therapy. By forming a lightweight, breathable barrier over the skin, it helps maintain optimal hydration and supports the natural remodelling process of scar tissue, helping improve the appearance of thickness, texture and redness with consistent use over 8–12 weeks.
