Products Q&A : Xeragel®


1. Can I use Xeragel in Conjuction with Epi-Derm?

Xeragel can be used in conjunction with Epi-Derm by alternating the products, but not applied together. Never apply any product under the Epi-Derm Gel Sheeting. For 24 hour a day usage, many patients prefer Epi-Derm gel sheets at night when they are at home or sleeping, because a single sheet will last all night. Xeragel is frequently used during the day on exposed scars (facial, hands, elbows, etc.).

2. Is Xergel as affective as Epi-Derm?

Yes, both products are equally effective and made from the same silicone compound.

3. How long does a tube of Xergal last?

Typically, on a small to mid-sized scar, the tube will last roughly two to three weeks.

4. Can Xeragel be used around the eyes or mouth?

Yes, Xeragel may be used on scars near the eyes and mouth. However, caution should be used to keep the product from entering these areas.

5. Can Xeragel be used on children?

Yes, Xeragel can be used on children, under adult supervision. This product is safe and Non-Toxic.
