I went through 4 wrist surgeries and was dealing with the emotional toll of the surgeries, as well as the scars that were left on both of my wrists…a constant reminder. One of my co-workers suggested Epi-Derm Strips by Biodermis as she had used them for her c-section and said they worked great! I went straight to biodermis.com and ordered them and I’ve been a user ever since! I was amazed how quickly they worked and literally couldn’t be happier in finding Epi-Derm Strips. They are a premium product but are well worth it as they really work!

I was suggested this item by a lady who also had a tummy tuck and after I saw her results I had to try it. I noticed a difference in 24 hours. It’s bewn 4-5 days since I’ve started and the scar looks significantly better!!!!! It’s less raised and the color is fading already. The only think I suggest is finding a good quality medical tape to tape it down while you sleep. Other than that, perfect.
Love that I can wash it and re-apply
I had to cut the strip in half since it’s not long enough for my pelvic area. I’m 5-11 and 200lbs. Also the stickiness last for 6 days.
Bought this silicone strip for my long scar. Works great and it’s easy to use!
Great
The strip did not stick well, it peeled off within days as compared to the scar strips I bout at cvs that stay on for 10 days…was disappointing
Didnt like that the middle started to curl up. For that price it shouldnt happen
As a night sweater I ended up with fungal infection within 2 days of wearing. Followed all directions on cleaning, ensuring drying. Continued to use in area where I do not sweat, and the stickiness wore off rather quickly
As ordered and great
Product was easy to use. However, there is no way to know if the scar would heal similarly if I did not use this product. Expensive, but worth a try in case it really does limit scarring.
Good product only wish each strip was longer. I used it for a tummy tuck scar and one strip is not long enough to completely cover it and I think using 2 strips is wasteful bc one has to be cut. I have used the Silagen strips which are much longer and last longer.
These things, if taken care of will last a while. If they get dirty you can apply alcohol and rub clean with water, set to dry or pat dry with a clean towel. Really good quality of silicone.
Best to have an adhesive to cover this so it stays firmly in place. Otherwise great product.
Es cara pero es muy buena
I cut this sheet up to size I needed. They are very sticky. Product is pricey. I did buy cheaper brand of silicone sheets and huge difference in quality to me. I am all about high quality.
Très belle collaboration de l’entreprise. Fiable. Excellent service après-vente. Vous pouvez vous fier à eux. Je ferai de nouveaux achats avec cette entreprise assurément!
Il prodotto ha pienamente soddisfatto le mie esigenze. Lo consiglierei a chiunque ne avesse bisogno. Inoltre sono rimasto molto soddisfatto del servizio offerto da Amazon.
muy practico lavable y excelente silicon
Es un buen producto.
These are an amazing, they keep on sticking even after using them multiple times. I noticed my scars got lighter after using them.
I personally use only this brand! Last time I have used these scar silicone sheets were for my breasts lift surgery and I healed amazing! Great quality ! Now I ordered for my c section and I already see the results! Too bad they aren’t so popular on Amazon-they deserve it 5* ! Worth every penny!
I've had two major surgeries in the last few years, both of which result in some conspicuous scars so I did a lot of trials and research on silicone strips to mitigate this. These strips have the nicest feeling fabric backing, are HUGE (11.5" is really long haha), and do a good job adhering to my skin despite being in an area that flexes and bunches up a lot (lower abdomen for a tummy tuck). They're pricey, yes, but worth it if you take good care of them and make them last!
Had kenalog injections in a nasty keloid scar. These silicone strips were recommended by my surgeon. Easy to cut to size and they last a long time. Will need to wear them for a year, 12 hours per day:
I have a thick keloid that is being treated with kenalog injections. Surgeon recommended this product. I will have to use it for a year. Must be worn 12 hours a day, then let the skin breathe. I have had no problem with its adhesive retention. It goes on smoothly. When I remove it, I place it on the hard plastic that the silicone strip came on. Must be kept dry. Both the surgeon and I are very pleased with the EpiDerm Natural strips.
Been buying these for a while and I definitely recommend if you have had a C-Section or other types of surgical procedures that leave behind a long narrow scar. I use it more if I am going to tan because with these strips I prevent my scar from getting darker and more noticeable. I highly recommend to use for all scars.
These worked after a stomach surgery. My Scar is flat and slightly silver
Absolutely lighted my scar from a tummy tuck.
Bin super zufrieden. Habe für meine andere Narbe ein anderes billigeres Produkt und im Vergleich ist das echt der Wahnsinn. Epiderm ist zwar sehr teuer im Vergleich zu den anderen Pflaster aber ich muss sagen es lohnt sich allemal!! Es haftet sehr gut, es lässt sich super abschwaschen und ist sehr angenehm auf der Haut. Ich kann aber leider noch nichts sagen zum Ergebnis, nehme es erst seit einer Woche. Bin gespannt ob es was bringt
good
Thanks
You should have strips available for face lifts
Love these and use them after my surgery. It helped with my scar.
Excelente producto, superó mis espectativas. lo volveré a comprar.
Quick to flatten diastasis scar - does less for discoloring but very effective at flattening. Bought this twice - each strip can last weeks if you take care of it.
Highly recommended
Used for large abdominal incision. I’ve tried them all over the last four months and this is the most durable and easy to use
I received only 4 strips instead of 5 inside the envelope..With 5 brochures inside
Not bad works well make sure to have extra waterproof tape to secure the strip. If you sweat or get it wet, it will fall off. Clean regularly to keep thr surface sticky
Excelente
Tuve una cirugÃa mayor y al cumplir un mes de ella, el cirujano me la recomendó, llevo usando el parche 5 meses y los resultados son muy notorios, estoy muy satisfecha con los mismos.
The difference is that Epi-Derm Clear is fully transparent, with release liners on both sides. It is tacky on one side only. Epi-Derm Natural is beige in color with a soft fabric backing that tends to do well under clothing - letting fabric slide over it without bunching. Both varieties are made of 100% medical grade silicone.
Unlike many other scar products, Epi-Derm is self-adhesive, but you may need to apply Epi-Tape or Epi-Net on certain areas of the body for extra securement.
With any 100% medical-grade silicone therapy, best results are achieved with uninterrupted, continuous use. Epi-Derm sheets can be worn for up to 12 hours at a time, washed (with a non-foaming, fragrance free cleanser like Silqueclenz), and re-used. Epi-Derm is suitable for day and nighttime use. With proper cleaning and average wear-and-tear, each Epi-Derm sheet can last 2-3 weeks.
Unlike many over the counter scar reduction products, Epi-Derm, Pro-Sil and Xeragel are made of medical grade silicone. Because of the quality and high standards of all Biodermis family of products, it is sold directly to hospitals, burn centers, plastic surgeons, dermatologists and other specialists.
Epi-Derm is effective on all types of scars, including older scars. Clinical studies have shown the newer the scar, the quicker the results, so with older scars -- products just need to be used for a longer period of time.
During the day, especially in exposed areas, the most discreet option is often preferred. For those situations, an on-the-go silicone product like Pro-Sil or a gel like Episof is recommended. For 24 hour a day usage, many patients prefer Epi-Derm scar silicone sheets at night when they are at home or sleeping, because a single sheet will last all night, and then Pro-Sil during the day. Silqueclenz by Biodermis is the ideal cleanser formulation for cleaning silicone sheeting between uses. Lastly, Epi-net or Epi-tape are sometimes required to keep silicone secured in areas that tend to actively bend throughout the day - such as a knee or ankle.
Ideal scar management results in a minimizing of the height, thickness and/or discoloration of the scar, thus helping flatten, smooth and blend the scar with the surrounding skin, making it far less noticeable.
Instances of skin irritation with silicone are rare. However, as with any topical device applied directly to the skin, it is possible. If any skin redness or irritation occurs, speak with your doctor to understand the root cause.
Yes. Each product has received U.S. FDA clearance and European C.E. mark and is comprised of safe, non-toxic, non-medicated, semi-occlusive silicone gel.
Yes, Epi-Derm scar silicone sheets may be cut into smaller pieces using clean scissors or a knife. The piece of gel sheeting should fully cover the scar and extend 1/4 inch all the way around the scar border.
Biodermis is the originator of silicone sheeting in the industry and the first to introduce a variety of configurations and thicknesses, while maintaining the highest quality and regulatory standard.
Nothing should be used underneath Epi-Derm gel sheeting (between the gel sheeting and your scar). Of course, Pro-Sil and Episof are frequently used during the day on exposed scars (face, hands, elbows, etc).
Biodermis recommends that you store it in its original packaging at room temperature.
Epi-Derm can be applied after the sutures have been removed, and the scab is no longer present.
Yes, it is safe and non-toxic and can be used on children.
Always apply the sticky side of the silicone sheets to the scar.
Yes, it is recommended to remove silicone sheeting for scars when you shower, workout or swim due to the excessive moisture. However, it does not harm the product or your scar.
Yes, Epi-Derm silicone strips work great on facial scars. Frequently, patients choose to use Pro-Sil or Episof on facial scars during the day because these products are less noticeable, then use Epi-Derm scar silicone sheets at night.
Once gel sheeting has been applied to the scar site, it can be used for 2-3 weeks. When it begins to lose its adhesive qualities, or when surface oils or skin cells become difficult to remove with proper daily washing, it is time to replace the sheet.
Unused product, whether opened, or unopened, will last for years when stored properly.
Keloids are the aftereffect of an overgrowth of dense fibrous tissue that usually develops after healing of a skin injury. When a scar is formed, connective tissues or fibers are formed at the site to hold the wound closed. Keloids form when the cells continue to multiply after the wound is filled in. Symptoms may include pigmentation of the skin, discomfort, or an itchy or painful sensation.
Scar treatment therapy options include silicone sheets for keloids, and pressure treatment. Keloids may often be prevented by using a pressure dressing like Epi-Net in conjunction with silicone scar strips over the injury site 24 hours each day. This treatment is most effective after healing of the wound or injury, usually within a month.
