Savlon Advanced Scar Prevention Gel
Savlon Advanced Scar Prevention Gel is a unique hydro-active colloid gel that helps to actively speed up healing and reduce the likelihood of scarring. It covers the wound to create an optimal moist healing environment and can help quickly soothe the pain of minor wounds and superficial burns.
Savlon Advanced Scar Prevention Gel can be used for dry or wet wounds:
- Dry wounds: turns it into a wet one ('hydrogel' effect). The dry wound absorbs the water contained in the gel to help reduce the likelihood of scarring.
- Wet wounds: the gel is activated and absorbs excessive fluid from the wound and restores the water balance in the wound ('hydrocolloid' effect).
Directions
Do not use on extensive weeping or infected wound unless recommended by your doctor. Wash hands before and after treating the wound. Clean and dry the wound gently before applying the gel.
For minor wounds (e.g. grazes, cuts) and superficial burns:
Carefully apply Savlon Advanced Scar Prevention Gel to the wound (without rubbing) once or twice per day. If necessary cover the wound with a plaster or dressing and change daily.
Removing the gel
