The 4 key figures
Clinically proven foundation of every Biodermis communication — measurable and communicable.
Texture reduction
Clinically measured improvement in skin structure of the scar area
Colour reduction
Redness and hyperpigmentation are dramatically reduced
Height reduction
Raised scars flatten through regulated collagen synthesis
Fewer keloid recurrences
After surgical excision (Berman & Flores 1999)
Why silicone? Internationally recognised as first-line therapy.
Silicone vs. other products
- Onion extract preparations
No proven advantage over silicone
- Vitamin C/E creams
Insufficient clinical evidence
- Cortisone injections
Effective, but therapeutic only — side effects
- Silicone (Biodermis)
Only therapy: both preventive AND therapeutic
Why first-line?
- Safe and non-toxic — even for children
- No invasive procedure — fully topical
- Preventive AND therapeutic use
- Effective on old scars too
- Cost-effective through reusability
- High patient compliance through easy handling
Homeostasis at the scar
Silicone therapy creates an ideal healing environment — not through chemicals but through physical moisture regulation.
Moisture barrier
Silicone fully encapsulates the scar — even moisture distribution. Semi-permeable: oxygen enters, moisture is retained.
Collagen regulation
In the homeostatic environment, keratinocytes signal: normalise collagen production. Uncontrolled overproduction is stopped.
Visible improvement
Result: normalised collagen synthesis — softer, flatter, more natural scars. Effective on new and old scars.
For patients: No active ingredients with side-effect risk — pure silicone. Safe during pregnancy (consult your doctor). Applicable from full wound closure. Also on old scars: longer application required but effective.
Why Biodermis?
30+ years pioneer
Biodermis has decisively shaped the silicone scar therapy industry for over 30 years.

Day & night system
24h scar care: sheets at night, Pro-Sil/Episof during the day — no interruption.
Also for old scars
Effective on new AND old scars — therapeutic even years after surgery.
Day and night: the 24-hour system
The more consistent the application, the better the result. Biodermis covers 24 hours.
Scenario A: scar under clothing
- Day: Epi-Derm sheet — wear up to 12 hours
- Night: fresh sheet — reuse after washing
- Ideal for: abdomen, back, thighs, chest
Scenario B: visible scar
- Day: Pro-Sil 3–5× daily — discreet, invisible
- Alternative: Episof — dries invisibly, make-up compatible
- Night: Epi-Derm sheet — maximum exposure during sleep
- Ideal for: face, neck, hands, décolleté, arms
Recommended duration: at least 8–12 weeks. Newer scars respond faster. Old scars: longer application needed but therapeutically effective.
