Fade Your Scars: How Genova Silicone Scar Gel Transforms Scar Appearance

Scars from surgery, injury, acne, or childbirth can feel like permanent reminders - impacting your confidence, limiting your clothing choices, and making you self-conscious every day. Whether you’re dealing with raised keloid scars, surgical scars, or stubborn acne marks, you deserve a solution that actually works. The good news? Genova Silicone Scar Gel combines clinically proven medical-grade silicone with advanced peptides and probiotic technology to visibly fade, flatten, and smooth scars in as little as 8-12 weeks.

What Are Scars?

Scars are areas of fibrous tissue that replace normal skin after injury or trauma. When your skin experiences damage - whether from surgery, burns, acne, or injury - your body rapidly produces collagen fibres to repair the wound. This accelerated healing process prioritises speed over aesthetics, resulting in scar tissue that differs in texture, colour, and appearance from surrounding skin.

The Science Behind Scar Formation

Dermatologists recognise that effective scar management requires addressing multiple factors: excessive collagen production, inflammation, disrupted skin barrier function, and inadequate hydration during the healing process. When wounds heal, your body sometimes overproduces collagen, creating raised, discoloured, or uneven scar tissue. The dermal-epidermal junction weakens, and the extracellular matrix (ECM) becomes disorganised, resulting in visible textural differences that can persist for years without proper treatment.

Symptoms & Concerns of Scarring

Visible Signs You May Experience:

  • Raised, thickened tissue – Hypertrophic and keloid scars create elevated, rigid scar tissue that feels different from surrounding skin
  • Persistent discolouration – Red, purple, pink, or darker pigmentation that refuses to fade naturally
  • Itching and discomfort – Persistent irritation, tightness, and sensitivity in scarred areas
  • Uneven texture – Rough, bumpy, or crepey surface that disrupts your complexion
  • Self-consciousness – Visible scars on face, décolletage, or exposed areas affecting confidence in social situations
  • Limited clothing options – Hiding scars from C-sections, surgery, or injury restricts wardrobe choices
  • Emotional impact – Scars serve as daily reminders of trauma, affecting mental well-being

These concerns often intensify when over-the-counter treatments fail to deliver meaningful improvement, leaving you frustrated and searching for practical solutions.

Best Treatments for Scar Management

Evidence-Based Approaches That Work:

Medical-grade silicone technology remains the gold standard recommended by dermatologists and plastic surgeons worldwide. Clinical research demonstrates silicone creates an optimal healing environment by maintaining hydration and regulating collagen production.

Advanced peptide therapy targets the extracellular matrix, inhibiting degradation whilst promoting regeneration of elastin and collagen for improved skin integrity and elasticity.

Probiotic skin support balances the skin microbiome during healing, reducing inflammation and supporting the skin’s natural defence mechanisms against scarring.

Barrier protection and hydration prevent transepidermal water loss whilst maintaining the semi-occlusive environment essential for scar remodelling and improved appearance.

The most effective scar treatments combine these scientifically validated approaches into a single, comprehensive formula supported by decades of clinical evidence.

Key Ingredients Backed by Clinical Research

Medical-Grade Silicone (Cyclopentasiloxane & Cyclomethicone)

Medical-grade silicone has been the gold standard in scar therapy for over 30 years. It creates a breathable, semi-occlusive barrier that maintains optimal hydration in the stratum corneum whilst regulating collagen production through cytokine-mediated signalling.

Clinical evidence: A systematic review and meta-analysis published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery confirmed the efficacy of silicone gel, with 60% of scars grading as usual after treatment and 20% as mildly hypertrophic. Research in Advances in Wound Care demonstrates silicone treatments remain the first-line clinical recommendation in scar management, with studies showing significant improvements in scar thickness, colour, and texture. The mechanism involves occlusion and hydration of the stratum corneum, creating the optimal environment for scar remodelling.

Vanistryl® (Pseudoalteromonas Ferment Extract + Peptide Complex)

This innovative complex from Lipotec combines marine biotechnology with advanced peptides to tackle multiple mechanisms involved in scar formation. Vanistryl® protects connective tissue from degradation, reconstructs extracellular matrix components, reduces dermal tension, and promotes wound healing.

Clinical evidence: According to Lipotec research, Vanistryl increases skin elasticity by 44% after two months of application. The ingredient inhibits matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) activity, preventing ECM degradation, whilst the Pseudoalteromonas ferment extract increases the synthesis of collagen I, collagen IV, and elastin. The pentapeptide-18 component exerts a neuropeptide effect, reducing tension in scar tissue, whilst the novel micellar delivery system enhances active penetration into deeper skin layers, thereby improving efficacy.

Ecoskin® Probiotic Complex (Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide + Polymnia Sonchifolia + Lactobacillus)

This vegan pre-/postbiotic complex from Solabia enhances skin radiance and comfort by promoting balanced skin microbiota. It combines prebiotic α-glucooligosaccharides with probiotic Lactobacillus bacteria to support the skin’s natural defences during healing.

Clinical evidence: Studies demonstrate that Ecoskin® at a 3% concentration significantly reduces skin surface complexity and the average depth of microfissures (smoothing effect), whilst boosting isotropy (restructuring effect). Research published in peer-reviewed dermatology journals confirms that topical probiotics reduce oxidative stress, improve barrier function, and decrease inflammation during scar healing. The symbiotic combination stimulates antimicrobial defences whilst calming irritation, itch, and discomfort associated with scar tissue.

How Medical-Grade Silicone, Vanistryl® and Ecoskin® Work Together

The transformative power of Genova Silicone Scar Gel lies in the synergistic action of these three advanced technologies. Medical-grade silicone creates the optimal healing environment on the skin’s surface through occlusion and hydration, whilst Vanistryl® penetrates deeper to rebuild the extracellular matrix, increase elasticity, and prevent collagen degradation from within. Simultaneously, Ecoskin® balances the skin microbiome to reduce inflammation and support natural healing processes. This triple-action approach addresses scarring at multiple levels - surface protection, structural repair, and biological balance - delivering comprehensive scar improvement that no single ingredient could achieve alone.

How to Use Genova Silicone Scar Gel for Best Results

Step-by-Step Application Guide:

  1. Ensure scar is fully healed – Only apply to closed wounds, not open injuries
  2. Cleanse the area thoroughly and pat completely dry
  3. Apply a small amount to fingertips (a little goes a long way)
  4. Dab onto the scar covering the entire affected area
  5. Smooth gently over the scar surface with light, sweeping strokes
  6. Allow to dry – Gel dries within 30 seconds, forming a protective layer
  7. Apply twice daily – Morning and night for optimal results
  8. Continue for 8-12 weeks for visible fading, flattening, and softening
  9. Enhance with Ion Applicator – Use the Genova Ion Applicator for deeper Vanistryl® penetration and faster results

Pro tip: Once dry, you can apply makeup over the gel. The silicone layer protects the scar whilst allowing your skin to breathe. For best results on stretch marks and larger scars, combine with our Firming Cream to address both texture and elasticity concerns.

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly will I see improvement in my scar? Most people notice visible improvements within 8-12 weeks of twice-daily application. New scars typically respond faster than older scars, though the gel works effectively on both. Consistency is key—twice-daily application delivers the best results.

Can I use it on old scars? Absolutely! Genova Silicone Scar Gel works on both new and old scars, including those that are years old. Whilst older scars may take slightly longer to improve, clinical research confirms that medical-grade silicone effectively treats established scar tissue.

Is it safe for sensitive skin? Yes. The hypoallergenic formula is dermatologically tested and free of harmful chemicals and additives, making it suitable for even sensitive skin types. We recommend patch testing before first use.

What types of scars does it treat? The gel effectively treats all scar types, including surgical scars, keloid scars, hypertrophic scars, acne scarring, C-section scars, injury scars, burn scars, and stretch marks. It works on both facial and body scars.

Will it feel greasy or sticky? Not at all. The fast-absorbing formula dries within 30 seconds, leaving no greasy residue. You can apply makeup over it once it’s dry, and it won’t interfere with clothing.

Can I use it on my face? Yes! The gentle formula is safe for facial scars, including acne scarring. The non-comedogenic formula won’t clog pores.

What if I’m not seeing results? If you haven’t noticed improvement after 12 weeks of consistent twice-daily use, ensure you’re applying sufficient product and massaging thoroughly into the scar. For enhanced penetration and faster results, use the Genova Ion Applicator alongside the gel. This significantly improves healing time and reduces redness more effectively than finger application alone.
