Silicone gel showdown: which scar treatment works better?
NCT ID NCT07684573
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two silicone gel formulations, Dermatix and Dermatix Ultra, to see if one is better at improving the appearance and symptoms of raised scars (keloids and hypertrophic scars). About 150 people with existing or new scars will use one of the gels twice daily for six months. Researchers will measure changes in scar color, thickness, flexibility, and itchiness, as well as patient satisfaction.
